Higashi Niigata Gas Field

Japanese: 東新潟ガス田 - ひがしにいがたがすでん
Higashi Niigata Gas Field
A gas field located east of Niigata City, on the east side of the Agano River estuary and offshore. It was discovered as a structural gas field in 1959, but until then the surrounding area had been developed as a water-soluble gas field. The geological structure that forms this gas field is a gentle dome-shaped structure with its peak slightly east of the Agano River estuary. The gas production range is about 3 km from east to west and north to south, and is between depths of about 1,170 and 3,400 m. Gas is extracted from all of the gas layers distributed offshore from inclined wells on land.
