Background

Construction of the Netra pipeline was agreed to in 1994 and the pipeline was commissioned in 1995. Originally it ran from the Wittmund (district) gas storage facility to Salzwedel. In 1999, after commissioning the Europipe II pipeline, the NETRA pipeline system was extended from Etzel to Dornum. The compressor station near Wardenburg was built in 2003.

The pipeline was owned and operated by NETRA GmbH Norddeutsche Erdgas Transversale & Co KG, a joint venture of E.ON Ruhrgas (41.7%), Gasunie Deutschland (29.6%) and Statoil (28.7%). Now the pipeline is owned and operated by Open Grid Europe.
