Beschreibung

For this TEN project, DONG and a consortium of A.P. Møller-Mærsk, Shell, and Texaco have agreed to establish a new natural gas transmission pipeline connecting the existing Tyra gas production facilities in the Danish North Sea, located some 230 km off the Danish coast, to the starting point of the existing NOGAT pipeline in the Dutch North Sea, more than 200 km off the Dutch coast. The new pipeline will enable gas exports from Danish gas fields to continental Europe at Den Helder via a new supply route. It will have a length of about 100 km, passing through Danish, German, and Dutch waters.

Ziele

The project is an Energy-TEN. It develops existing energy networks, contributes meeting the European Community’s natural gas consumption needs, and improves interoperability of gas networks.
