Germany's 2017 oil output fell 6 percent, gas down 8 percent

FRANKFURT, March 13 (Reuters) - Germany produced 2.2 million tonnes of oil in 2017, six percent less than in the previous year, while natural gas output fell by eight percent to 7.3 billion cubic metres (bcm), industry association BVEG data showed on Tuesday. German producers include BEB Erdgas und Erdoel, Mobil Erdgas-Erdoel, DEA, formerly part of RWE and Engie E&P Deutschland. BASF's Wintershall produces modest gas volumes at home but more abroad, and leads in domestic crude oil.
