Natural gas sales to reach €14bn next year: minister

The Netherlands’ natural gas fields in Groningen will generate record sales of €14bn next year, economic affairs minister Maxime Verhagen said on Monday.


The Slochteren gas fields, which are among the biggest in the world, are now two-thirds empty.
Nevertheless, the Netherlands is in the process of turning itself into a European hub for the storage and trade of natural gas.
