Nostrum oil has a long history linked to the Netherlands, having been an integral part of the nation’s offshore energy industry since 1969, the year of the first commercial oil and gas exports from the Dutch Continental shelf.
From the early days of production in the K13 and L10 gas fields to the later development of the P15 and Q1 oil blocks, hundreds of wells were drilled to explore and develop the country’s offshore hydrocarbon resources. Over the decades, billions of barrels of oil equivalent have been produced, contributing significantly to the Netherlands’ economic growth and energy security.
This pioneering work fostered a local network of companies that supported the early industrial activities around IJmuiden and later expanded to the Port of Rotterdam, including the Maasvlakte energy hub – now one of the world’s leading offshore logistics and service centers. Several generations of Dutch professionals have gained invaluable experience by working directly or indirectly with the Company, and this tradition continues today.
Building on this rich legacy, the Company now looks toward the future, leveraging advanced enhanced oil recovery techniques in mature fields, pursuing modern exploration in frontier North Sea blocks, and applying industry best practices to ensure safe and sustainable hydrocarbon production.
I invite you to re-discover Nostrum Oil through this portal and join the company in its commitment to producing more oil and gas for the Netherlands and beyond.
