The transportation network
The transportation grid of Statoil Deutschland Transport is controlled and maintained by use of the latest technology in combination with the competence and experience of the company’s employees. The capacity of NETRA and Emden-Etzel-Pipeline, can theoretically cover up to 5, 5 Percent of the German natural gas demand.

The NETRA pipeline runs with an overall length of 341 kilometres from the Europipe receiving facility in Dornum/Ostfriesland via Wardenburg near Oldenburg to Steinitz in Sachsen-Anhalt. From there the NETRA pipeline is connected to other transportation systems to supply the German and European gas market. The pipeline has a diameter of 1, 20 Metres (48 inches) and a transport capacity of 58 Million cubic metres per day. The NETRA pipeline was put into operation in 1993 (from Etzel/Ostriesland to Steinitz) and in 1999 (from Dornum to Etzel).

The Emden-Etzel-Pipeline runs from the receiving plant at Rysumer Nacken near Emden to the natural gas storage in Etzel by Friedeburg/Ostfriesland, Northwest Germany. With a length of 65 kilometres and a diameter of 1,06 metres (42 inches) it has a capacity of 50 million cubic metres per day. The Emden-Etzel-Pipeline was commissioned in 1993.
