Natural gas and oil reserves on the Dutch territory; national accounts

This table contains the physical data on natural gas and oil reserves that are derived from the annual publication Natural resources and geothermal energy in the Netherlands by TNO commissioned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In 2018, there was a substantial downward adjustment of the gas reserves in the Groningen gas field. The reserves consist of (socially responsible and commercially viable) extractable quantities of natural gas and oil found in the Netherlands, plus the amount pending development. The opening stock of the reserves is 1 January and the closing stock is December 31. Definitions and data are in accordance with the Petroleum Resource Management System which has been used by TNO since 2013. For reasons of consistency with Dutch terminology, we have opted to use reserves rather than resources as used in the TNO report. Data available from: 1987 Status of the figures: The figures in this table for the last year are provisional. The figures for the other years are final. Changes as of August 31, 2021: The provisional figures for 2020 have been added. When will new figures be published? New figures are published annually in the autumn.
