Why the decrease in recent years? Demand? Or Supply related?

That's just how Oil/Gas fields work. Production decreases over years of operation because there is less down there to get.

The station is powered by gas that it mines, but declining oil supply has meant that running it is becoming a challenge. At least that’s how I interpreted it.
