BMI View: Denmark is hoping to avoid becoming an oil and gas importer for another few years, despite declining production. The government is confident the country will sustain its position as a net exporter of oil and gas until the end of the decade, with some recovery in volumes likely over the medium term. Over the longer term, shale gas could play an important role in boosting supply, but environmental concerns may slow the rate of progress.
The main trends and developments in Denmark's oil & gas sector are:
Total's November 2012 announcement that it will drill a shale gas well before the end of the year marked the first significant move to tap Denmark's shale gas potential. The well, to be drilled in the 'next few weeks' (from the time of the announcement), will target the North Jutland basin, part of what the EIA estimates may be some 644bn cubic metres (bcm) of recoverable shale gas resources in Denmark.
The Denmark Energy Agency (DEA) figures suggest that FY2012 gas production will have been 4% lower than in 2011, with a further decline expected in 2013, before volumes stabilise and begin to recover in 2014/2015. DEA projections show that Denmark is expected to be a net exporter of sales gas in the 11 years up to and including 2022, based on the expected production profile. However, by 2013, the output surplus is likely to be very modest. For gas, the development of new well technology and new discoveries may allow Denmark to maintain its position as a net exporter beyond 2030.
