NOGAT (Northern Offshore Gas Transport) is a pipeline network designed for natural gas, facilitating the transfer from the Dutch continental shelf to an onshore processing facility and terminal located in Den Helder. This system has been in operation since 1992. It also provides connections to the Danish continental shelf through the Tyra West – F3 pipeline and to the German continental shelf via the A6-F3 pipeline.
Ownership of the pipeline rests with NOGAT BV, where Dutch state-owned Energie Beheer Nederland (EBN) holds a 45% share. Other shareholders include GDF Suez with 48.3%, Total S.A. owning 5%, and Venture Production possessing 1.8%. The pipeline was originally managed by Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij BV (NAM), but operational responsibilities transferred to GDF Suez following their acquisition of NAM's interest.
