ENTSOG TYNDP 2017 - Main Report

Next figures show the potential evolution of conventional production by country. From 2020 the production in the Netherlands and the UK would decrease more significantly than in other countries in the absence of new discoveries. After 2035 Cyprus could become the second biggest EU producer after the Netherlands.

Conventional gas potentials Compared to imports, there is relatively little uncertainty on the evolution of Europe- an conventional production. The main uncertainty is related to the development of the necessary infrastructures to connect new gas fields to the rest of the European gas system.
