The building of a special processing facility at the location for treating the gas was also finished earlier this year.

Commenting on the development, Neptune Energy managing director in Germany Andreas Scheck said: “The Adorf Carboniferous field development is one of Neptune’s most promising activities in Germany and demonstrates our desire to grow the business here.

“The Adorf field is already an important contributor to domestic energy in Germany, supplying enough gas to heat more than 150,000 households.”

The Adorf gas field was discovered in 2020, and in October of the same year the first well, Adorf Z15, was put into service.
