Company Description

At NAM, we have a rich heritage as a leading oil and gas producer in the Netherlands. As we look towards mid-2025, we are embarking on an exciting new chapter.

As the largest operator in the basin, we continue to operate our onshore and offshore assets safely and responsibly. Additionally, we are a frontrunner in effectively decommissioning assets that have ceased production.

Our Agile operating model has transformed our business into one that delivers value in a resource-constrained and rapidly changing environment.
