ENGINEERING JOBS
NAM is made up of three Assets – Groningen, ONEgas offshore in the Southern North Sea and Land. The Asset Land covers all onshore oil and gas fields with the exception of the Groningen field and the Norg and Grijpskerk underground gas storage facilities.
The main operational areas are in the North and East Netherlands but there is also significant activity around Rotterdam. Many of the fields and facilities are in mature and late field life stage, but at the same time the asset is continuously bringing new fields on-stream with innovative development concepts.
In addition to traditional development and production activities, the asset is successfully involved in pioneering a number of new concepts like carbon capture and storage, enhanced gas recovery using foam techniques and nitrogen injection. The asset’s future strategy is centered on becoming a world-class tail-end operator maximizing recovery at lowest possible cost and new developments with innovative concepts and the use of standardized, re-deployable modularized equipment concepts.
