hi mattluke,
"In 1959, NAM (Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij), a 50/50 exploration
and production joint venture of Shell and Esso, discovered large
amounts of natural gas, in the province Groningen in the northern part
of the
Netherlands. It turned out to be one of the largest gas reservoirs in
the world. The production installations in the Groningen system
consist of 29 standardized "well clusters", with a total of 300
wells." (INTRODUCTION - 1st paragraph)
