NETRA Gas Pipeline is an operating natural gas pipeline in Germany.[1]
Location
The pipeline runs from Dornum through Etzel, Wardenburg, Achim, and Holtum, to Steinitz near Salzwedel. It connects with the Europipe I Gas Pipeline and Europipe II Gas Pipeline at Dornum; with the Bunde-Etzel Gas Pipeline at Etzel; with the NEL Gas Pipeline and Rehden-Hamburg Gas Pipeline at Achim; and with the Steinitz-Bernau Gas Pipeline at Steinitz.

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.[4] The compressor station near Wardenburg was built in 2003.[5][6]
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%).[7] In January 2016, Statoil sold its share to the other two companies.[8]
The Sci_Grid IGG data set refers to the pipelines as INET_PL_4782, INET_PL_4781, and INET_PL_4780. [3]
