據天然氣加工&液化天然氣2020年9月22日報道，荷蘭政府宣布，在截至2021年10月的下一個財政年度內，荷蘭將進一步削減曾是歐洲最大氣田格羅寧根大氣田的天然氣產量，最高產量將削減至81億立方米。

這比荷蘭監管機構6月份的預測減少了12億立方米。雖然荷蘭政府將保留一些設施以備寒冬時恢復天然氣生產，但格羅寧根大氣田的全部天然氣生產計劃仍將在2022年年中結束。

在過去10年里，荷蘭政府一直在縮減格羅寧根大氣田的天然氣產量，以減少地震風險。

Dutch govt to cut Groningen gas production to 8.1 bcm in 2021

The Dutch government announced it would further cut production at the Groningen gas field, once Europe's largest, for the coming year ending October 2021, to a maximum of 8.1 billion cubic meters.

That is 1.2 bcm less than the country's regulator had forecast in June. Plans to end all production at the field is still slated for mid-2022, though the government will keep some facilities on "stand by" to resume in case of an extremely cold winter.

The Dutch government has scaled back production from the Groningen field over the past decade to limit seismic risks.
