ONE-Dyas has begun production from a second well on its N05‑A platform in the North Sea, raising output to roughly 1 billion cubic metres per year. The move strengthens regional gas supplies ahead of the winter heating season.

The N05‑A development sits within the cross‑border GEMS area, which spans Dutch and German waters near Borkum and is part of the Netherlands’ small‑fields policy aimed at reducing imports.

The new well lifts the platform’s output from about 700 million cubic metres a year to roughly 1 billion cubic metres, a 43 % increase. With the addition, the field is now producing about 7 % of the Netherlands’ natural gas demand and 2.5 % of Germany’s. The N05‑A project is a step toward the GEMS area’s estimated 50 billion cubic metres of recoverable gas and the platform’s nameplate capacity of 2 billion cubic metres per year, which is expected to be reached by the fourth quarter.

The CEO said that with the second well online, the company is increasing supply from locally produced gas while maintaining low operational emissions. The platform is powered by electricity from Germany’s offshore Riffgat wind farm, enabling near‑zero operational emissions, and both production and ongoing drilling activities at N05‑A are fully electrified, a relatively uncommon approach for developments in this part of the North Sea. The company noted that additional drilling is underway to further increase output and move the platform toward its nameplate capacity, and that the project also leverages existing offshore infrastructure to support continued gas production during the energy transition as European markets seek to reduce reliance on imported supplies following disruptions to Russian gas flows.

With additional wells planned and full electrification already in place, ONE‑Dyas is positioned to deliver steady gas output into the coming winter and beyond, reinforcing the Netherlands’ and Germany’s energy security while aligning with the broader transition to low‑emission offshore production.
