All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Denmark’s total gross crude oil and condensate production was valued at 71,362 barrels per day (bd) in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 10% by 2025. The marketed natural gas production by Terrain was valued at 135 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) in 2020 and is projected to grow with a CAGR of more than 30% by 2025. Over the decades Denmark has been able to build out its offshore oil and gas infrastructure through a number of major discoveries and developments. For the Danish oil and gas sector, the best days are in the past, Danish production peaked in 2004 averaging 500,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) and production has been declining annually ever since.
In 2021, total production in Denmark is expected to decline by around 5% compared to 2020. Production declines over the last few years can be attributed to the declining production from the major producing fields coupled with the suspension of production from the Tyra production facilities and its 7 connected satellite fields. The COVID-19 pandemic affected the Tyra and disruptions to the global supply chain and project construction timeline, caused by government-imposed restrictions, delayed the topside installation process and the first gas has been pushed from 2022 to 2023. The decline in production is forecasted to continue out to 2022, assuming completion of the $3 billion Tyra redevelopment will be finalized in 2023.

What are the market dynamics of Denmark’s exploration & production sector?
GlobalData estimate that there is over 300 million barrels (mmbbls) of crude oil and condensate reserves remaining in producing and upcoming developments. For natural gas, GlobalData estimate over 1 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of reserves remaining in producing and upcoming developments. The near-term outlook for Denmark’s hydrocarbon production is concerning as producing fields continue to decline and the Tyra hub fields remain offline until 2023. 2020 was the first of three full years in which the Tyra hub and its satellite fields were not in production, which in turn will have a material impact on Danish gas production over the near term. The decline in production is forecast to continue out to 2022, assuming completion of the $3 billion Tyra redevelopment will be finalized in 2023. In addition, the country’s ambition to abolish new exploration and end oil and gas production by 2050 throws a cloud of uncertainty over the future of the Danish hydrocarbon sector.
The outlook for new oil and gas developments in the country is highly uncertain as Denmark has set out its ambition to abolish domestic oil and gas production by 2050. The redevelopment of the Tyra hub will bring a substantial boost for the Danish North Sea by upgrading the facilities with the latest technology and providing an opportunity to unlock further gas resources in the surrounding area but could be the last significant investment committed in the Danish E&P sector. The currently announced developments in the country are lacking, but the reactivation of the Hejre project is still being considered by current operator INEOS and is the largest greenfield project under consideration. In December 2020, the Danish government voted in favor of canceling the 8th oil and gas licensing round. The move aims to shift the country away from fossil fuels by restricting the opportunity to explore new resources in the Danish North Sea. The decision is the final blow for oil and gas exploration in Denmark which was in much need of revival. Activities are to continue in existing license areas, but no new licenses will be awarded for exploration activity.
In March 2020, INEOS stated its intentions of acquiring a further interest in the Hejre and Solsort discoveries, offshore Denmark from Spirit Energy. The deal signifies that INEOS still sees value in the fields and that a commercially viable development solution is still possible despite being unable to progress the developments over recent years. The deal allows INEOS to strengthen its position in Denmark through cost and operational synergies but also supports the development of its Greensand carbon storage project, offshore Denmark.
