The N05-A production platform is installed in the North Sea at the beginning of August. The installation did take place using a crane vessel that runs on liquefied natural gas instead of the commonly used diesel. This minimises emissions during installation.

Pipeline installation
Construction of the gas pipeline is under way. A short, new natural gas pipeline of about 15 kilometres will be laid from production platform N05-A to the existing natural gas pipeline network of Noordgastransport (NGT). The temporary works are partly visible from the shore.
Due to poor weather conditions, the work has not yet been completed. It is expected that the installation ship will be able to leave in mid-February.
First natural gas
The aim is to produce the first natural gasfrom platform N05-A in the winter of 2024/2025.
Mobile drilling rig
In autumn, ONE-Dyas drilled the first well from which natural gas can be produced from field N05-A in the Dutch part of the North Sea. Before drilling, a mobile drilling rig was temporarily at the project site. Now that the first well has been drilled, the mobile drilling platform has left again. The production platform N05-A will be used to produce the natural gas.
