A Dutch court today upheld a government decision to cap production at the Groningen gas field at 24B cm until Oct. 1, 2021, a step aimed at easing the risk of earthquakes triggered by drawing gas from the field.

The court was responding to requests for a preliminary injunction against the June decision, opposed by groups who sought a halt or a deeper cut to production at Groningen.

Output has been cut several times from 53.9B cm in 2013 amid criticism that Dutch authorities had failed to adequately assess the risk to citizens from earthquakes caused by gas production. read more

Royal Dutch Shell Better Positioned as Oil-Producing Countries Begin to Reduce Output

January 04, 2017, 10:32:39 AM EDT By MT Newswires

Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) is in a better position as members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producers begin curbing production in a bid to boost prices, RBC researchers said in a note to clients on Wednesday.

“We believe the recent OPEC/non-OPEC supply deals have put the oil market on much firmer footing, which removes some of our tail-risk concerns for Shell,” the analysts said. “Looking ahead, we see the potential for strongly improving cash flow generation, while in the near term, we believe net debt should begin falling from its peak.” read more
