荷兰政府4月25日表示,将向地震灾区格罗宁根地区投资220亿欧元(合242.4亿美元),同时确认计划不迟于2024年停止该地区的天然气生产。

荷兰首相马克·吕特在新闻发布会上表示:“这是为地震区人民(生活在)恢复正常生活的最后机会。” “我们无法扭转错误,但我们决心采取不同的做法。”

格罗宁根油田由壳牌和埃克森美孚的合资企业运营,仍然拥有大量天然气储量,但在过去十年中,由于开采引起的地震造成了广泛的破坏和精神痛苦,产量已经减少。

Dutch Government Confirms Plan to Halt Gas Production in Groningen

The Dutch government said on April 25 that it will invest 22 billion euros ($24.24 billion) in the earthquake-stricken Groningen region while confirming plans to halt gas production there no later than 2024.

"This is the last chance to make things right for the people (who live in) the earthquake zone," Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte said at a press conference. "We cannot reverse what went wrong, but we are determined to do things differently."

The Groningen field, operated by a joint venture of Shell and Exxon Mobil, still holds massive reserves of natural gas but production has been wound down in the past decade as quakes caused by extraction caused widespread damage and mental anguish.
