Background

Construction of the NETRA (Norddeutsche Erdgas Transversale) 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%). In January 2016, Statoil sold its share to the other two companies.

The Sci_Grid IGG data set refers to the pipelines as INET_PL_4782, INET_PL_4781, and INET_PL_4780.
