Offshore Center Danmark 

– Five Years later 

Five years have passed since Offshore Center Danmark (OCD) 

was established. Since then OCD and its members have seen 

an immense development. 

In the fi ve years OCD has existed, more than 100 million m3 

of oil and more than 50 billion m3 of gas have been produced 

from the Danish North Sea. Combined, this exceeds the total 

national energy consumption during these fi ve years by 40%, 

making Denmark an energy exporting nation. With an increase 

in oil prices of more then 300% since the opening of OCD, energy 

export is a lucrative business. In the same period, the 214 

Danish offshore wind turbines have produced almost 7 TWh of 

energy. Approximately half of that was exported.

WE SEARCH DEEP AND AIM HIGH 

DONG Energy participates in licenses in Denmark, Norway, the 

UK, the Faroe Islands and Greenland. In total we are active in 68 

licenses in the North Sea and the Atlantic Margin. 

We produce oil and natural gas in the Norwegian and Danish part 

of the North Sea, and from late 2007 from the Ormen Lange field in 

Mid Norway. 

We participate in every phase of the energy process all the way 

to the consumer – from the rigs in the North Sea, power stations 

generating electricity and heat, and wind farms, until we market 

the energy and convey it all the way to our one million customers’ 


Yearbook 2008

doorstep in Denmark and abroad. This ensures a highly reliable 

supply of energy and gives us the necessary expertise for developing 

our company. 

Innovation is an important part of our everyday work. We are at the 

cutting edge in the development of renewable energy, not least in 

the establishment and management of wind farms - from the north 

of Norway to the south of Europe. 

We are also preparing development plans for a challenging HPHT 

discovery in Denmark which is an exciting technical challenge for 

our company.

Employees wanted 

for Oil and Wind 

Welcome to ON/OFF Yearbook 

The Danish offshore industry is doing 

remarkably well. Once again, I observe a 

year with increasing activities. The high oil 

prices are in many ways a catalyst for attractive 

development. When the price is high, it 

becomes more attractive to produce oil, and 

activities increase, both those directly related 

to the production but also the indirectly 

related onshore activities. At the same time, 

the high oil prices are benefi cial for our wind 

industry. The skyrocketing of the oil prices 

increases the demand for alternative energy. 

This year we can once again observe that 

virtually all companies in the offshore sector 

are in acute need of employees. The situation 

is alarming, and there is no doubt that we 

have to think fast and creative in order to 

deal with the problem. 

In order to solve the problem it is necessary 

to require competent employees from 

outside the borders of Denmark. Offshore 

Center Danmark regularly receives requests 

from highly educated foreigners from e.g. 

Africa and Northern Europe, who offer their 

labour and know-how to the Danish industry 

– foreign nations are aware of Denmark 

and the expertise we have here. Now it is 

up to us to include the foreign specialists 

into our frame of mind, in order to combat 

the lack of employees. Another challenge is 

to export the Danish know-how out of the 

country. Many countries have just recently 

begun positioning themselves within the oil 

and gas production and are in acute need 

of knowledge and expertise. During 2007, 

Offshore Center Danmark has conducted 

two studies of the market in Africa, where 

Danish companies and their employees are 

estimated to have large possibilities. Another 

project in Offshore Center Danmark is working 

with the establishment of an international 

network with offshore wind energy, in order 

to increase the possibilities for the Danish 

companies to enter the markets abroad and to 

attract foreign expertise to Denmark. 

I will now make a quick jump home to 

Esbjerg - the offshore city of Denmark. Here, 

the high activity level within offshore oil, gas 

and wind is clear. Once again we are pleased 

to notice that out harbour is being used for repairs 

of oil rigs. In order to make that service 

even better, the harbour is now making large 

investments for optimization of the facilities. 

Denmark is in the top 3 among oil and gas 

producing countries in Europe. It is good to 

witness the success and the drive, which acts 

as a dynamo and creates further innovative 

developments within the Danish offshore industry. 

We are among the majors in the world 

thanks to our know-how and skilled employees. 

A small country with a large experience 

is hard to miss. 

Please enjoy the Yearbook, which is created 

to raise awareness of the Danish offshore 

expertises. Hopefully, the book will act as a 

source of knowledge, be of inspiration to the 

readers and will be a basis for debate in the 

offshore industry. ■

Facts about Danish offshore 

Oil & Gas and Offshore Wind 

Denmark has been active in the offshore 

business for more than 40 years. The fi rst 

oil discovery in the North Sea was done in 

1966 by Dansk Undergrunds Consortium. 

Production was initiated in 1972, and since 

then production has increased and technology 

has been dramatically improved. 

Within offshore wind, Denmark has also 

been pioneering the sector. The fi rst offshore 

wind farm in the world was erected 

in 1992, near Vindeby in south Denmark, 

Since then, hundreds of additional offshore 

wind turbines have been erected in Danish 

waters, and Danish wind turbines have been 

sold to many countries around the world. 

The following section presents facts and 

fi gures for the current status of the Danish 

offshore sector - oil and gas as well as wind. 

Figures are from 2007, and yearly fi gures 

are for the year 2006. 

Offshore Oil and Gas 

• In 1993, the amount of oil produced in 

Denmark reached a level equivalent to 

the consumption. In 2000 it was twice the

The Extraction Degree 

could be increased to 50% 

Researchers and oil companies 

are working intensively on the 

development of methods to increase 

the extraction degree 

in the Danish part of the North 

Sea. Denmark’s leading oil 

researchers at the Technical 

Univercity of Denmark and at 

Aalborg University (Esbjerg Institute) 

expect that the degree 

can be increased to 50% – the 

double of the actual level. 

In the late 80’es the horizontal drilling method 

opened up new opportunities for the Danish 

oil and gas industry in the North 

Sea. Later water injection followed 

as an effective method to 

stimulate the extraction. CO2 injection 

could be the next big step 

in the endeavours to increase 

the vital extraction degree and 

prolong the Danish selfsuffi 

ciency. 

- People often quote me for saying that I 

expect that we can increase the extraction 

degree in the Danish part of the North Sea to 

50%. Even though it will be diffi cult to reach 

such goal, I think that we should consider it as 

our national strategy, Denmark’s leading oil 

researcher, professor Erling H. Stenby, Department 

of Chemical Institute for Engineering, 

the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), 

informs. 

The DTU professor takes us on a journey 

to the more than 50 years old Weyburn oil 

fi eld, which had reached a worn-down level, 

when the oil company EnCana decided to 

inject CO2 in order to stretch out the production. 

Via a 300 km long pipeline taken from a 

coal gasifi cation plant in North Dakota the CO2 

residual gas from the natural gas production 

was led to the oil fi eld in the middle of 

the North American continent, and with a 

very promising result: During the following 

years, the production increased by 25%. 

- Weyburn is of course a land-based fi eld, 

however, the geological conditions are not very 

different from the Danish section, and provided 


Yearbook 2008 

that the CO2 will react as it did in Canada, we 

will look at a very promising production for 

many years to come, Erling H. Stenby states. 

Hesitation in Denmark 

and Norway 

Supported by the Danish National Advanced 

Technology Foundation a series of companies 

headed by DONG Energy are conducting a 

research project, with the purpose of creating 

a basis for a decision regarding a test plant 

with CO2 injection. The heavy fi nancial 

decision whether CO2 can be introduced in 

the Danish oil extraction process cannot be 

taken, before the project has been completed. 


Reservoirs with a limited occurrence of oil and gas. 

This could also be larger deposits with an expected low 

extraction degree due to the geological conditions. 

Finally, larger occurrences with diffi cult production conditions 

due to large water debts or poor infrastructure, 

which complicates the transportation of the oil/gas. 

- Very large quantities of CO2 would have 

to be used, and it would furthermore be necessary 

to use a pipeline from shore. CO2 has 

been successfully used for decades, mainly in 

the US, Canada and Hungary, but its employment 

is limited mainly by the occurrence of 

CO2 . In the US as well as in Hungary the CO2 

occurrence is geological, whereas in Canada 

it will have to be supplied, which would also 

be the case in the North Sea. Neither Denmark 

nor Norway use CO2 as yet, Erling H. Stenby 

informs. 

The Chalk is not the main Reason 

The low permeable chalk is often mentioned 

as the main reason that the Danish part of the 

North Sea is an area where it is diffi cult to 

extract oil and gas. This is not the whole truth. 

Norway’s largest oil fi eld, Ekofi sk, is also a low 

permeable chalk fi eld, and besides, the oil companies 

in the Norwegian and the British sector 

face diffi culties in sandstone fi elds as well. 

- Our job is to develop better technologies to 

extract the oil, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), 

taking parameters as rock, oil viscosity, pres- 

MARGINAL 

FIELDS 

sure and temperature into consideration, Erling 

H. Stenby informs. 

The accessibility of a reservoir does not 

entirely depend on the thickness of the chalk 

layers. E.g., the chalk layer in the DUC’s 

Valdemar fi eld is not very thick, but as it covers 

a large area, the oil extraction is complicated. 

In such reservoir horizontal drillings and 

unmanned STAR platforms are indeed an 

advantage. 

The extraction conditions in the North 

Sea differ substantially. The latest prognosis 

carried out by the Danish Energy Authority 

stating an extraction degree of 24% comprises 

big variations, from fi elds with an extraction 

degree below 5% to fi elds where 

it is possible to extract 35-40%, 

e.g. in the DUC’s Skjold fi eld. 

Additional advanced 

Methods 

At the EOR area several methods 

are being tested to improve the 

oil and gas extraction. One of the 

methods is to introduce energy by increasing 

the temperature. The procedure is to inject 

steam into the oil layers, a method which, 

however, cannot be employed on large debts, 

as well as in situ combustion - a combustion 

process inside the reservoir, where oxygen is 

introduced from the surface, in order to form 

nitrogen. Nitrogen does not mix with the oil as 

is the case with CO2 , but it heats the CO2 and 

thereby lowers the viscosity, which allows a 

free oil fl ow. In Romania the method has been 

used for a number of years, and even though 

we for the time being are not conducting any 

tests, we have not abandoned the method. 

Microbial methods, e.g. to inject active ingredients, 

such as detergents, into the oil reservoir 

to loosen the oil from the pores, have proved 

to be an expensive method to increase the 

extraction degree. It would be more cost effective 

to introduce microorganisms, which can 

reproduce and increase the activity in the reservoir. 

Aalborg University (Esbjerg Institute) is 

currently researching the consequences such a 

method would have on a 5-10 years’ basis. ■

CO2 from Power Stations 

to be used in Oilfi elds 

A research project started in 

2007 will determine whether 

CO2 can be used to increase 

the extraction degree in the 

Danish part of the North Sea. 

This could turn out to have a 

huge potential, the development 

manager from DONG 

Energy informs. 

Offshore Center Danmark has 

undertaken a preceeding pilot 

project in the period 2005- 

2007, to investigate increased 

oil recovery from the Danish 

chalk fi elds with participants 

from several companies as 

well as Aalborg University 

(Esbjerg Institute) and GEUS 

(Geological Survey of Danmark 

and Greenland). CO2 injection 

and microbial addition was the 

main focus of the pilot project. 


Yearbook 2008 

Can the residual product CO2 originating 

from the production of the Danish power 

stations be used to increase the extraction 

degree on oilfi elds in the North Sea and at 

the same time contribute to solve one of the 

planet’s greatest challenges within the environment: 

The discharge of CO2? 

A question raised by DONG Energy and 

several partners in a current research project 

supported by the Danish foundation for high 

technology. Denmark discharges more CO2 

per inhabitant compared to the European 

average – 11 tons compared to eight tons in 

the entire Europe – and of the 55 million CO2 

a year the power stations count for approximately 

50% of the discharge. 

– Several places CO2 is used in land-based 

drillings, especially in the US, and one of 

the questions is, whether we can transfer the 

knowledge from land in the US and Canada 

to the North Sea, where the distance between 

the wells is longer, the development manager 

Charles Nielsen, DONG Energy, informs. 

Neither in the Danish nor in the Norwegian 

part of the North Sea CO2 is as yet used to 

improve the degree of oil extraction, however 

MARGINAL 

FIELDS 

Statoil Hydro has during the approximately 

past 10 years deposited CO2 in connection 

with the extraction of natural gas. Before the 

injection of CO2 to increase the pressure in 

the wells could be taken into use, a series of 

tests are to be effectuated, where the infl uence 

of oil, installations and reservoirs is to 

be simulated. 

– I believe that on a long-term basis we will 

have a European infrastructure of pipelines 

to deposits on land, to drained oilfi elds and 

maybe to initiatives to improve the extraction 

on active oilfi elds. This could turn out to have 

a big potential; in my opinion, however, it 

will take another ten years to get it operating 

at 100%. The technology to isolate the CO2 

from the fl ue-gas is not yet in place, and on 

top of this the right facilities would also have 

to be constructed, Charles Nielsen explains. 

The objective of the EU countries is to reduce 

the CO2 discharge by 20% before 2010, and 

furthermore by 30%, provided that we reach 

a global agreement in 2009. One of the means 

to reach the objective could be investment of 

billions of DKK in order to transfer the CO2 

from the power stations to the oilfi elds. ■

Maersk goes 

horizontal in Qatar 

Horizontal drillings have made 

diffi cult fi elds in the North Sea 

attractive, a technology that 

can also be exported, among 

other countries, to Qatar 

Horizontal drillings have been solidly 

established in the Danish part of the North 

Sea, and Maersk Oil and Gas’ refi nement 

of the technology will increasingly become 

a Danish export. 

- We realize that the technology is an 

effi cient competitive parameter in other 

countries. Only a few companies showed 

interest in our actual license area in Qatar, 

but due to the methods developed by us we 

anticipated the opportunity for an effective 

development, the Vice President in Maersk 

Oil and Gas’ new department for Innovation 

and Technology Development, Anders 

Damgaard informs. Maersk owns the license 

and is the operator in the Al Shaheen fi eld, 

which in the next couple of years will be 

extended by approximately 170 horizontal 

wells, in order for the oil production to reach 

an expected number of 525,000 bbl of oil a 

day in 2009. In Al Shaheen the oil is located 

in thin layers and is extracted by up to 8.2 km 

world record long horizontal wells. 

Refi nement in the North Sea 

Before employing the technology abroad, 

Maersk Oil and Gas has refi ned the technique 

in the North Sea via the PSI system, that 

enabled Maersk Oil and Gas to Perforate, 

MARGINAL 

FIELDS 

Stimulate and Isolate individual zones in 

horizontal drillings, and later via Controlled 

Acid Jetting (CAJ) in order to stimulate long, 

horizontal well sections. The limit for the 

length of horizontal wells has gradually been 

moved. The CAJ liner makes it possible by 

means of e.g. acid to stimulate wells without 

using coiled tubing, a tube of 7-8 cm in diameter, 

which with a length at 4-5 km winded 

up on a large drum.

(DUC’s) fi elds I believe that 85-90% of the 

actual oil production originates from horizontal 

wells. In Denmark we have also been 

working actively on the development of the 

drilling and completion technologies, which 

has had great importance for the development

of reservoirs that previously gave no fi nancial 

output. Before switching over to horizontal 

wells, the extraction degree of the Dan fi eld 

was assessed to 7-8%. Today the extraction 

degree is above 30% - mainly driven by 

horizontal wells with its corresponding well 

technology, Anders Damgaard informs. 

While the Dan fi eld due to age uses vertical 

as well as horizontal drilling for the oil 

extraction, the Halfdan fi eld was from the 

beginning completed by using only horizontal 

drillings with a total of 55 wells. The 

reservoir would hardly have become attractive 

without using the horizontal technology, 

which has also played an important social 

role, as Denmark today is the only EU country 

with a net export of oil. 


Yearbook 2008 

Increasing Interest from Abroad 

In DUC the number of horizontal wells has 

overtaken the vertical wells, as the oil now 

fl ows in 276 horizontal drillings. In a few 

years, in Al Shaheen in Qatar the number of 

horizontal wells will exceed 300. 

- In the North Sea there are several reservoirs 

of chalk layers with a very low fl ow. On the 

other hand, the diffi cult chalk has given us 

the possibility of developing technologies 

useful in other parts of the world. We have 

conducted great part of the drilling of horizontal 

wells around the world, and offshore 

we are among the leading companies within 

the area. The technology has proved to be 

qualifi ed in Denmark as well as in Qatar, 

whereas it is not fi nancially attractive in 

other regions, such as Kazakhstan, where 

the oil extraction takes place on land, and 

consequently not possible to the same extent 

to gain fi nancial savings on platforms and the 

expensive installations, Anders Damgaard 

says. 

He emphasizes that at each and every reservoir 

a thorough analysis has to be effectuated 

in order to determine the right extraction 

method. Horizontal wells require a certain 

area, whereas reservoirs with a high oil 

column would reach a higher extraction rate 

by using vertical or defl ected wells. However, 

Maersk Oil and Gas is convinced that the 

Danish knowledge holds export opportunities. 

- We experience a continuous interest 

from national oil companies in other parts 

of the world, where diffi cult reservoirs are 

found, the Vice President, Anders Damgaard, 

informs. ■

Active Control of the 

Oil Extraction proved 

to be Cost Effective 

The market for software to 

secure a faster and more stable 

oil fl ow from marginal fi elds for 

further elaboration at the main 

platform is growing. Together 

with Semco Maritime — a fast 

growing Esbjerg-based company 

with more than 1,500 

employees – ABB is in this area 

active. 


Yearbook 2008 

The use of advanced technology software to 

regulate the oil and gas fl ow from the well 

to the processing plant can help increase the 

production by up to 10% on marginal fi elds 

– and save energy during the extraction. 

As an example, consider ABB Enhanced Operations 

& Production who has for a number 

of years developed solutions to optimize the 

production in marginal fi elds. Thanks to 

the advanced process control and regulation 

technique it has become possible to optimize 

the production and even activate wells that 

previously have been abandoned due to the 

diffi cult pressure conditions. 

- On marginal fi elds it has often been proved 

diffi cult to maintain a suffi cient fl ow, and 

droplets can occur inside the pipeline. Unstable 

pressure creates heavy demands on the 

receptor plant at the main platform, whether 

the oil comes from an unmanned platform, 

a subsea solution or a FPSO, sales manager, 

Bjarne Madsen, ABB A/S, informs. 

Experience collected from a 

number of Plants 

The development people at ABB have elaborated 

several software solutions which can be 

connected to the existing plants of a platform 

and avoid pressure and fl ow variations. The 

software measures the continuous temperature 

and pressure, and controls a regulation 

valve at the end of a well or a pipeline in 

order for the oil to be transported faster and 

more fl uently to the processing plant. 

MARGINAL 

FIELDS 

- The technique has been used on marginal 

fi elds for the past 8-10 years, mainly in Norwegian 

territory but also in the British sector 

and the Middle East. We have completed 

25-30 projects for large oil companies, such 

as StatoilHydro, BP, Shell, Exxon and ConocoPhillips, 

however not yet in the Danish 

sector, Bjarne Madsen states. 

Investment proved to be very 

cost effective 

ABB’s key products within the area are Active 

Well Control (AWC) and Active Flow 

Line Control (AFC). The price for an AFC 

solution on a main platform is typically 2.5 

million DKK, and besides installing and 

tuning the software, the ABB expert team 

monitors the software for about one year, 

partly from the platform, partly via a remote 

connection on shore. The fi nancial effect of 

the investment refl ected by the increased, 

faster and a more stabilized oil production is 

often measured in months – in several cases 

less than one month. 

- Furthermore, an environmental consideration 

is obviously gained when working actively 

with a fl ow line control. Should a high 

pressure or level in a processing plant occur 

in a conventional technique plant, it closes 

down automatically, and valuable production 

time is lost. By using ABB’s technology 

production breaks can be avoided and consequently 

save energy in the oil and gas extraction 

from the underground, Bjarne Madsen 

informs, who operates from the ABB’s 

offi ces in Esbjerg as well as in Odense. 

On several seminars held for operators in the 

Danish sector ABB has noted a quite good 

interest for the new opportunities that offer 

a documented increase of the oil production 

of 2-10%; however, the breakthrough in the 

Danish North Sea territory has yet to come.

The European 

focus on renewables 

is creating good 

results within 

offshore wind and 

large expectations 

to the future 

Danish offshore Wind 

Industry is booming 

Following the installation of offshore wind 

farms such as Horns Rev outside Esbjerg, and 

Nysted south of the island of Lolland-Falster 

5 years ago, Denmark took the lead within 

offshore wind, and became the world’s premier 

developer and knowledge center within 

offshore wind. Today, Denmark supplies 

around 90% of the offshore wind farms produced 

in the world. In the North Sea, namely 

in the UK and Germany, a rapid development 

is occurring, and now the rest of Europe, as 

well as the USA, Canada and latest China, is 

following. Large investments are taking place 

worldwide these years, with an overall scope 

to reduce the amount of CO2 released to the 

surroundings, but also caused by offshore 

wind proving itself a reliable and economic 

alternative form of energy. 

Latest England and Germany have sent 

strong political signals favouring an increase 

in the share of offshore wind power, and on 

the European Offshore Wind (EOW) Conference 

in Berlin December 4th-6th 2007, the 

Danish, German and Swedish government 

signed a declaration regarding cooperation in 

development and planning of offshore windpower. 

This declaration was the fi nal result 

of the Offshore Center Danmark initiated 

conference Copenhagen Offshore Wind in 

2005, where the initial declarations had been 

made. Germany is now increasing the feed-in 

tariff for wind energy produced by offshore 

wind parks, and according to Herman Albert, 

President of the German Wind Industry Association, 

massive investments in German 

offshore wind farms are now on their way. 

It has been a long waiting period 

At a European level, there is a now a historical 

focus on offshore wind energy, and with 

the Danish expertise within development, 

production, installation and service of offshore 

wind farms, the Danish offshore wind 

industry is facing a boom. 

- We have been waiting for this for years, Kai 

Lindvig states, CEO of Danish A2SEA, a 

supplier of transport, installation and service 

of offshore wind farms. 

A2SEA is a market leader within its fi eld, 

and Kai Lindvig was invited to open the 

European Offshore Wind conference. He 

is convinced that the frame for a long-term 

investment horizon within offshore wind has 

been created. 

- With this new political framework, an 

environment has been created, where the 

industry is willing to invest long-term in the 

applications required. As an example consider 

England, where the political climate has 

brought us many new offshore wind farms 

during the last few yeas, and we now see a 

similar development in Germany and several 

more countries, Kai Lindvig explains. 

- A2SEA will now invest in more vessels 

for transport of offshore wind turbines, as 

we consider the preconditions for a market 

growth to be satisfi ed, Kai Lindvig continues. 

A2SEA is presently installing offshore wind 

turbines at Robin Rig in England. 60 Vestas 

wind turbines producing 180 MW are being 

installed, with MT Højgaard installing the 

foundations. 

Risk for shortage of supplies 

The Danish offshore wind suppliers should 

have a good chance to be busy in the coming 

years, with their high expertise and 

experience within offshore wind farms. The 

English government will increase the number 

of offshore wind turbines from 1900 to 3454, 

with 556 already being installed, and the 

German governments new fee-in tariff is expected 

to boost the number of offshore wind 

farms dramatically in the coming years. In 

the midst of the joy, however, there is a risk 

of shortage of supplies, Kai Lindvig states. 

- The rise in the demand of expertise may 

for a period create a temporary shortage in 

supply. This goes for foundations, piles, wind 

turbines as well as vessels. But this shortage 

will be quickly eliminated, as the industry 

adjusts itself to the new situation. A new 

peak for Danish offshore wind energy will be 

reached in the coming years.

From coal to offshore wind 

Another strong Danish company within 

offshore wind farms is DONG Energy. The 

company works to replace coal by offshore 

wind energy, and has a pipeline of new 

Northern European offshore wind projects 

coming up before 2010, worth 15 billion 

DKK. 

- We have a considerable portfolio of coalbased 

power plants, and we would like 

to change the balance in our total energy 

production, so that a larger part comes from 

renewable energy. In this way we do not just 

rely on one energy type, and we become less 

sensitive to variations in the availability of 

raw materials, CEO Anders Eldrup states, 

while presenting the future strategies of 

DONG Energy. 

In the UK DONG Energy is the operator of 

the Barrow Offshore Wind Farm, which went 

into production in 2006. The Gunfl eet Sands 

and Gunfl eet Sands II wind farms are presently 

being installed seven kilometres from 

the English coast outside the Thames. Burbo 

Banks is another UK offshore wind farm 

owned by DONG Energy. 

Danish Vestas and Danish-based Siemens 

Wind Power are supplying almost all of the 

wind turbines used worldwide on the offshore 

market. 

Stable development 

Offshore wind turbines have been a technical 

challenge for Danish suppliers and operators 

of wind farms. Especially the extreme 

weather conditions have posed major initial 

challenges, on the ocean with large waves 

giving a low accessibility for installation and 

for maintenance, and with the salty seawater 

giving many nasty surprises on the fi rst pilot 

offshore wind farms. 

Denmark was however in the happy situation 

to have a thriving offshore oil and gas 

industry, which for more than 30 years had 

worked under exactly such conditions, on 

The POWER Project 

The North Sea Competence Network for Offshore Wind Energy – POWER – is a 

transnational project aiming to harmonize planning and information strategies 

for offshore wind farms in compliance with government legislation and to 

increase the supply chain knowledgement for the offshore wind industry in the 

North Sea Region. 

The POWER Project regions, who have commissioned this project in Denmark, 

Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK, are at the centre of the 

world’s offshore wind industry. It was here that the fi rst offshore wind farms 

were built, and it is here the industry is forecasting the strongest growth in 

the near future. 

The transnational POWER partnership has more than 30 national partners 

from the fi ve countries, amongst which key partners are: 

• Offshore Center Danmark, DK 

• BIS Bremerhaven, DE 

• Wind Energy Agency Bremerhaven/Bremen (WAB), DE 

• Suffolk County Council, UK 

• East of England Energy Group (EEEGR), UK 

• The South Denmark European Offi ce, DK 

• Delft University of Technology, NL 

• University of Groningen, NL 

• Autonomous Port of Oostende, BE 

Please read more about the POWER project on the website 

www.offshore-power.net and also on Offshore Center Danmarks website 

www.offshorecenter.dk. 

Total global expenditure in offshore wind is forecast to exceed €13 billion for 

the 2006-2010 period. Annual expenditure will quickly grow until the end of 

the period to a level in excess of €5 billion/year. The POWER Project countries 

are forecast a total expenditure of over €7.6 billion over the next fi ve 

years which is 59% of all global offshore wind expenditure.

the 40+ oil and gas platforms of the Danish 

North Sea. This industry was quick to spot 

the possibilities for knowledge exchange with 

the traditional wind industry, and vice versa. 

- During the last years, the offshore wind 

farms have been fi ne tuned to the extreme 

conditions, and we are happy to state that 

stability has been achieved with also higher 

accessibility for maintenance. The offshore 

wind farms now achieve high operation times 

in line with specifi cations, and also the market 

seems convinced, Peter Blach, director of 

Offshore Center Danmark, states. 

Offshore Center Danmark has been initiating 

the knowledge exchange amongst some of the 

Danish offshore companies and institutions, 

and has also taken on responsibilities on a re-

gional level. The center has thus participated 

in a 3-year North-European project – POW- 

ER – The North Sea Competence Network, 

with participants from Denmark, England, 

Germany, Holland and Belgium. 

The Network scope has been to create the 

best possible framework for offshore wind 

energy, including the supply chain, the educational 

frames and the regional strategies. 

- Our goal has been to strengthen the international 

cooperation within offshore wind, 

including dialogue with authorities, research 

institutions, companies and other partners, 

all with the aim of ensuring a solid base 

for the expected massive expansion within 

offshore wind farms in the countries. We 

have reached many of our targets - but even 

more needs to be achieved, before we can 

Growing together with our Clients 

A2SEA - providing solid foundations 

state that the project has been a success, Peter 

Blach states. 

- In order to ensure optimal conditions for 

offshore wind as well in the rest of the world, 

the experience from the POWER project, 

should be transferred to other countries – so 

that Denmark can maintain its leadership 

role within offshore wind – with companies 

as Vestas, Siemens Wind Power and DONG 

Energy being major players. 

With the new EU vision that 20% of the total 

energy consumption must come from wind 

energy in 2020, major challenges lie ahead. 

Offshore wind will take a large share of these 

20%, and Danish companies are prepared for 

these challenges, is Peter Blach’s opinion. ■

Sweden opts out 

Swedes drop Offshore 

Wind Farm 

Increasing costs delay Roedsand II with at 

least one year. 

Shortly before the publication of the ON/OFF 

Yearbook 2008 the Swedish energy company 

E.ON Wind Sweden informed that the company 

does not wish to be committed to build 

Roedsand II Offshore Wind Farm planned to 

be established in the waters of Lolland-Falster 

in the southern part of Denmark. E.ON 

estimates it unprofi table to carry out the 

project, as the costs have increased considerably 

since the invitation to tender was put forward 

– and consequently rejects to continue. 

- We agreed to enter the project in the hope 

that we, as one of the world’s largest companies 

within the industry, had the possibility to 

infl uence the price development. Despite the 

fact that we from the beginning were willing 


Yearbook 2008 

to undertake a larger risk during the preliminary 

phase, the project seems to bee too 

expensive, the managing director of E.ON 

Wind Sweden, Lennart Fagerberg, informs 

in a press release. 

- We regret the decision we had to make, 

however, we have to realize that there is no 

other alternative. As early as in May 2007 we 

realized that Roedsand II was a risky project 

as the budget and the economy were close to 

the impossible, however, due to the increased 

costs the project is no longer fi nancially 

justifi able, Lennart Fagerberg states. 

Roedsand II will be built 

The permission to build Roedsand II is a result 

of a political energy agreement of March 

2004 entered between the government and a 

majority in the Danish Parliament, where it 

was agreed to invite to tender for 2 offshore 

wind farms, each with a capacity of 200 

MW. The tender, however, was drawn up in a 

way that it only gave the consortium the right 

to build the wind farm – and not the duty. 

- It is of course unsatisfactory that a company 

of E.ON‘s size drops the project, and I 

have consequently asked the Danish Energy 

Authority to investigate the possibility that at 

future offshore wind farm tenders the companies 

will be committed to their bids, so that 

we will not face the same situation again, the 

Danish Minister for Climate and Energy, Mrs 

Connie Hedegaard, informs, as she continues: 

- There is no doubt that Roedsand II will be 

built. The fact that E.ON is no longer of the 

opinion that the company can live up to the 

bid and consequently has withdrawn the commitment 

is very unsatisfactory. However, we 

need to move forward very fast. 

36% increase of costs 

Upon an invitation for tender, May 31 2006 

the Danish Energy Authority granted Energy

E2, DONG Wind A/S (today DONG Energy) 

and E.ON Sweden the right to carry out 

preliminary studies for Roedsand II Offshore 

Wind Farm. As a part of the tender a fi xed 

accounting price of electricity from Roedsand 

II at DKK 0.499 kWh for 10 TWh was 

set. Later, E.ON Sweden AB assumed the 

entire concession, and May 31 2007 the 

company fi led an application for permission 

to build, including an Environmental Impact 

Assessment. In accordance with the bid, 

October 31 2007 the Danish Energy Authority 

granted permission to build the offshore 

wind farm. 

According to the calculations made by Offshore 

Center Danmark the costs to install 1 

MW in 2002 amounted to approx. EUR 1.75 

millions, when Horns Reef at the North Sea 

was built, whereas the costs today amount to 

approx. EUR 2.75 millions. This equals an 

increase of 36% in 5 years. 

- The increasing costs for establishment of 

offshore wind farms represent a big challenge 

for the wind power industry, and for 

the same reason, countries like Germany 

have chosen to increase the government’s accounting 

price in order to secure that energy 

companies and operators assume the large 

preliminary costs. This decision has almost 

immediately caused a signifi cantly larger 

interest to take on new projects, the coordinator 

of the offshore wind segment within 

Offshore Center Danmark, Morten Holmager 

informs. 

As a result of E.ON Wind Sweden’s decision, 

the Danish Energy Authority estimates a 

delay of Roedsand II of at least one year. The 

wind farm was planned to be built by 2010. 

The fi rst phase of the Roedsand I Offshore 

Wind Farm was built by July 2003, with a 

power output of 166 MW. ■

Danish expertise 

ensures market 

shares on the 

global offshore 

markets 

New Frontiers 

Especially within the past 10 years Danish 

offshore has expanded towards new markets. 

With a vast experience within exploration 

and production of oil and gas during the 

extremely complicated conditions in the 

North Sea, Danish know-how is becoming 

a sought-after commodity in the rest of the 

world. Within areas such as horizontal drilling, 

intelligent stimulation of wells, marginal 

fi elds, satellite installations, preventive 

maintenance and offshore wind, the operators 

and suppliers to the Danish offshore industry 

have found international niches, where they 

are able to match the international demands 

as either suppliers or partners to the international 

offshore industry. 

New markets are opening themselves to the 

Danish offshore industry all over the world, 

at the same speed, at which the increase of 

recovery rates from existing fi elds and the 

exploitation of marginal fi elds become more 

and more important for an optimal exploitation 

of the oil and gas reserves of the world. 

These years Danish offshore is living through 

an exciting period of growth with new assignments 

arising all over the world. 

– Know-how is the most important tool to 

increase the market share in an increasingly 

competitive and internationally orientated 

offshore industry. Presently the total onshore 

market is greater than the offshore market, 

however, we see that most major new discoveries 

are found offshore, so that is where the 

growth is coming from. These new discoveries 

are found in areas, which are diffi cult to 

access, and where experience from offshore 

fi elds is often lacking. We see this in the 

Persian Gulf, offshore West-Africa and offshore 

Brazil. In addition, major reserves are 

expected to be located offshore Greenland. 

Danish companies have a vast offshore experience, 

and this know-how provides a good 

match to the local demands in these places, 

Peter Blach, director of Offshore Center 

Danmark, states. 

– In Qatar other operators had more or less 

given up on what was thought of as a mature 

fi eld. Now a Danish operator has redeveloped 

the old fi eld using Danish expertise, 

and a huge increase in the oil production has 

occurred, making this particular fi eld one of 

the largest offshore oil fi nds worldwide of 

this decade, with a production soon passing 

½ million barrels (80,000 m 3) per day. In offshore 

Angola and offshore Brazil the water 

depths are greater, but huge oil fi nds in the 

fi elds neighbouring the Danish owned concessions 

give a good ground for optimism, so 

Danish suppliers will soon be packing their 

rucksacks for these destinations, Peter Blach 

continues. 

Credit to Maersk Oil 

The largest operator in Denmark is Maersk 

Oil. Apart from being the largest operator in 

Denmark, the company operates licenses in 

14 other countries. This includes Qatar, the 

UK, Algeria and Oman and in recent years 

licenses have also been acquired in Norway, 

Angola and Brazil, amongst others. 

– One of the Maersk trademarks is marginal 

fi elds and areas with harsh conditions or 

diffi cult access. When success is achieved 

in such areas, great respect is gained within 

the offshore industry worldwide, with one 

good example being what was previously 

considered the mature Al-Shaheen fi eld in 

Qatar. Hence a good reputation and creditability 

is received for future licensing rounds. 

Other Danish operators are inheriting some 

of these trademarks, amongst which can be 

mentioned DONG Energy and Hess Denmark. 

Both are now also becoming experts 

in marginal fi elds, exploiting oil from fi elds 

other operators are abandoning or considered 

non-commercial, Peter Blach explains. 

– In the future we will see the three key 

Danish operators being joined also by new 

operators following the successful appraisal 

drillings after the 6th licensing round. A 

company such as Noreco (previously 


Yearbook 2008 

35

Denerco Oil) found oil in their very fi rst appraisal 

well at Rau, and we see DONG Energy 

being active along the coast of Greenland, in 

the area around the Shetlands and along the 

Norwegian continental shelf. So this really 

is a tremendous time of opportunity for the 

Danish offshore industry nationally and internationally, 

Peter Blach continues. 

Contract worth 300,000 

engineering man-hours 

As a good example of the window opening to 

the outside world within the Danish offshore 

industry, the Danish engineering consultancy 

company Ramboll Oil & Gas has received a 

number of orders for FPSO - Floating Production 

Storage and Offl oading - ships. In February 

2007 the company won the contract on a 

Nexus production ship for the Norwegian part 

of the North Sea. 

The order landed was one of the largest ever 

received by any Danish consulting engineering 

company, with a value of more than 

300,000 engineering man-hours. The ship 

will be designed for oil and gas production in 

harsh and inhospitable seas with high requirements 

to the environment, and will have a 

production capacity pf 60,000 barrels of oil, 

1.5 million m 3 of gas and 60,000 barrels of 

stimulation water per day. 

– FPSO is an extremely interesting market 

for Ramboll Oil & Gas, and the contract for 

Nexus has been the result of a dedicated longterm 

development work. The FPSO market 

is expected to command a substantial part of 

the future activities of our company, and we 

possess an experience which matches well all 

the international requirements, Kai B. Olsen, 

market director of Ramboll Oil & Gas, states. 

Because of the increasing demand of oil and 

gas globally the future reservoirs are expected 

to be found in very deep waters. These reservoirs 

can most likely be exploited by FPSO’s. 

Ramboll Oil & Gas employs more than 500 

experts, of which 160 are placed in Qatar, 140 


Yearbook 2008 

in Norway, and the remainder predominantly 

in Denmark. 

Turn-key solutions 

Having merged the two large Danish 

companies Semco Maritime and EOS in 

2006, Semco Maritime, now with more than 

1,500 employees, has been able to take on 

large international turn-key solutions in 

2007. Having complimentary services, EOS 

contributed well with welding, construction 

and yard capacity, to the well-known Semco 

Maritime basis within design and technical 

contracting of mechanical systems, electrical 

systems, instrumentation, fi re fi ghting equipment 

and communication. 

- Semco Maritime has been awarded an important 

role in the construction of the worlds 

fi rst circular, fl oating drilling platform, which 

is currently being built in China. Semco 

Maritime has been a partner on this technically 

challenging project, and is responsible 

for technical design of electric equipment, 

instrumentation, automation, F&G, telecommunications 

and navigation, lead engineer 

Sigfred Jensen explains. The platform has a 

hull diameter of 75 meters and will when fi nished 

undertake drilling on a depth of 3,000 

meter in the Gulf of Mexico. The circular 

shape makes the platform very stable and 

increases carrying capacity signifi cantly. 

Increased need of automation 

Another growing market is Malaysia, in 

which also the Danish part of ABB is now 

very active. 

– ABB has been represented in Malaysia 

since the country had its fi rst generator for 

production of electricity back in 1904. Today 

Malaysia is one of ABB’s primary markets 

with an enormous potential within power, 

automation, and production control. With a 

growing local oil and gas industry, ABB in 

Denmark is able to export our know-how to 

this market, and we now see the market as a 

strategic opportunity for us, even within such 

a global company as ABB, Kurt Larsen explains, 

business manager for the ABB project 

department in Esbjerg. 

In Malaysia, they face the same problems as 

in Denmark, when it comes to available human 

resources to engineer and manufacture. 

Yards do not themselves have the knowledge 

to do EPC projects and thus, they are looking 

for well-established and recognized partners 

to take responsibility for delivery of “plug 

and play” solutions. Especially within the 

area of power, automation and instrumentation 

solutions. 

– One of our goals here in Denmark over the 

last years has been to export our knowledge 

through a more close collaboration with other 

ABB entities. We now harvest the benefi t of 

our focus in doing so and the value of ABB’s 

increased interest in bringing knowledge and 

experience together across borders and business 

units, Kurt Larsen says. 

He continues: - Being part of a project of this 

kind, where ABB is the solution provider of 

power and instrumentation products including 

detailed engineering (Main Electrical and 

Instrumentation Vendor, MEIV) gives ABB 

in Denmark a major chance to be involved in 

further jobs of this kind in the future. 

The strength of our global experience, collaboration, 

and premium products together 

with local presence and assistance is of great 

value to potential customers in the oil and gas 

business. Not least in Malaysia, where oil and 

gas activities are growing extremely fast.

Danish niche companies 

The increased focus on new market opportunities 

has also generated growth for the 

companies with a more niche characterized 

port folio. Arctic Group with headquarters in 

Nørresundby has e.g. created a market for the 

management of the entire logistics function, 

including customs clearance and forwarding 

of goods, to delivery of a very broad range of 

goods to the more remote parts of the world. 

The concepts are marketed under the name 

”One Stop Shopping”. 

- We offer an overall service concept – a door 

to door solution that makes it easy for our 

customers to do business one place. Arctic 

Group experiences an increasing interest for 

concepts within e.g. overall interior solutions 

of living rooms and bedrooms for personnel, 

industrial kitchens, catering and the supply 

of tools, construction material and contractor’s 

machinery for the remote parts of the 

world not very accessible. We provide everything 

from furniture, offi ce supplies, tools, 

to articles of food. Through our offi ces in 

Denmark, the Faroe Islands and in Greenland 

we offer supplies to the increasing number of 

companies operating outside the Greenland 

coastline and in the North Sea, as well as 

other parts of the world, Peter Freiesleben, 

Arctic Group, explains. 

Attention to the environment 

After many years of preparations, Denmark 

is now also on the forefront with regards to 

an establishment of a decommissioning plant. 

The fi rst plant will be prepared at the harbour 

in Esbjerg during 2008 or 2009, and even if 

the Danish operators are not showing any 

signs of decommissioning any platforms yet, 

Denmark is now ready for the job. 

- No installation will live forever and on the 

day the fi rst platform has to be decommissioned, 

we will be ready with the required 

expertise for cleansing and transportation of 

the platform to Esbjerg, Kai B. Olsen, Ramboll 

Oil & Gas, who has been one of the key 

persons in a development project undertaken 

by Offshore Center Danmark, states. 

- Danish companies are in general strong, 

when it comes to activities requiring special 

attention to the environment or to safety 

issues. Here in Denmark we have over the 

years earned ourselves a good reputation 

within these areas, and on the highly 

competitive offshore market, such important 

competences may give the Danish companies 

just the edge they need to win the order in 

front of their international competitors, Peter 

Blach, Offshore Center Danmark, states.

- And the environment aspect leads to 

another special Danish competence, where 

Denmark is the No. 1 in the world, which 

is offshore wind energy. Using the pillar of 

expertise achieved over 40 years within the 

oil and gas industry in the North Sea, Danish 

companies have moved wind turbines offshore, 

where the wind is greater, and where 

only few complaints are heard from the 

public. The expertise within offshore wind 

is handled by such companies with a unique 

product development strategy as Vestas, Siemens 

Windpower (previously Danish company 

Bonus Energy), DONG Energy and 

A2SEA. These companies are now working 

closely with the traditional oil and gas based 

offshore industry, and Denmark is the world 

leader, when it comes to generating energy 

from offshore wind parks both nationally 

and now also increasingly internationally, 

offshore wind coordinator Morten Holmager, 

Offshore Center Danmark, states. 

- With the international demands to reduction 

of CO2 emissions, the number of offshore 

wind farms in Northern Europe is exploding 

these years, and since Denmark is considered 

the Best in Class, the Danish companies are 

very busy servicing the new markets, Morten 

Holmager continues. ■

Looking for Partners 

in Western Africa 

With Danish offshore companies present in 

Nigeria and in Angola, Western Africa is 

gaining increasing attention these years. 

Since 2005 Maersk Oil has been active 

offshore Angola, and in June 2005, Maersk 

Oil acquired a production sharing agreement 

for Block 16 approximately 100 km 

offshore coast of Angola. More licenses 

have been acquired by Maersk Oil since, 

and as the neighbouring blocks have been 

very successful in their search, expectations 

are quite high to these licenses. The water 

depths are in the range of 200-1,500 meter, 

and Maersk Oil will once again require 

all of their combined expert knowledge to 

produce oil from these large water depths. 

The fi rst results are expected to be released 

in 2008. 

Valuable knowledge 

Nigeria, being a long-time oil producer, is 

now also moving offshore. External assistance 

is required with this new focus, and 

Danish suppliers now have the opportunity 

to share the project development risk and 

the fi nanzing with IFU – The Industrialization 

Fund for Developing Countries. 

- During the past 20-30 years the Danish offshore 

industry has proven itself on the North 

Sea, and this knowledge is very valuable 

offshore West Africa, where the conditions 

are at least as challenging as in the North 

Sea, Kasper Svarrer states, Investment 

Manager in IFU. 

- IFU has asked Offshore Center Danmark 

to prepare a market analysis for Danish 

offshore companies wishing to enter the 

Angolan and the Nigerian markets, respectively. 

Following our site visits interviewing 

more than 40 companies and institutions in 

these countries, we fi nd that these African 

markets are now ready to receive further 

assistance from Danish suppliers. The oil reserves 

offshore Western Africa are proving 

huge, and the time is now right for a market 

penetration for suppliers within selected 

market segments, which have been identifi ed 

in our reports available through IFU, Peter 

Blach states. 

Towards new horizons 

Danish know-how is also a commodity 

in high demand on the Brazilian offshore 

market. Danish exports to the Brazilian

energy sector have had a record breaking 

year, following a dedicated export campaign 

towards the worlds second largest oil and 

gas trade fair, Rio Oil & Gas. 

The massive Danish marketing towards 

the Brazilian oil and gas sector has had a 

benefi t not only to large companies, but also 

to many small and medium-sized Danish 

companies and to sub-suppliers, who are 

fi nding themselves a niche within the national, 

state-owned oil company Petrobras, 

Steffen Skjoldager states, vice-consul at 

the Consulate General of Denmark in Sao 

Paolo, Brazil, following the latest trade fair. 

The same pattern may be feasible in Western 

Africa. The IFU is ready with an attrac- 

tive and active partnership offer within cofi 

nanzing and consultancy, when a company 

decides to establish itself in Africa. 

– We at IFU have the strategic know-how 

with regards to identifi cation of market 

gaps within these important African 

offshore industries, and can help Danish 

companies to establish themselves. Typically 

we assist in setting up the business, 

and co-fi nance the activity with 30 percent 

of the required investment, Kasper Svarrer 

explains. 

IFU has invested 2.1 billion DKK in 176 

projects in Africa, which corresponds to 

roughly 30 percentages of the total investments 

of IFU. A new offi ce is available in

– The risk of an investment increases with 

distance, and from Denmark it may be seen 

as a diffi cult operation to establish oneself 

in Western Africa. But IFU has the experience, 

and we share the risk with you, and I 

still have not heard of one African country, 

which does not welcome Danish know-how, 

initiative and capital on their high-growth 

oil and gas markets, Kasper Svarrer concludes.

Greenland 

- a Challenge for Experts 

The probabilities of 

commercialising oil offshore 

Greenland are increasing 

Deposits of seeping rock oil have for a time 

been known to the original inhabitants 

– the Inuits - living in Greenland. During 

the latest investigations in the search for 

new Danish oil and gas fi elds, the spotlight 

has now been turned on the sea off Eastern 

Greenland. The latest indications from 

GEUS (the Geological Survey of Denmark 

and Greenland) indicate increased probabilities 

of fi nding oil in the area north of 

75° N, north of the Diskos Island. 

– The reserves are half of what we previously 

had assumed, but the probability of 

actually fi nding oil has increased signifi - 

cantly following our latest research, State 

Geologist Flemming Getreuer Christiansen, 

GEUS, explains. 

40 


Yearbook 2008 

– Investigations from September 2007 indicate 

31 billion barrels (4.9 billion m 3) of oil 

and gas equivalents in the underground, and 

this is around one third of the total reserves 

of the entire North Sea. 

- At the same time, the probability of actually 

fi nding oil in commercial quantities has 

increased substantially, and if our current 

estimates are correct, Eastern Greenland will 

be number 19 in the world, in terms of the 

size of oil deposits – out of the 500 registered 

locations, Flemming Getreuer Christiansen 

concludes. 

Unrealistic oil adventure in the 

Arctic Ocean 

Whilst the probability of fi nding oil in offshore 

Eastern Greenland has risen dramatically, 

the chances of fi nding oil in the Arctic 

Ocean in the area around the North Pole are 

much less doubtful, a sceptical Flemming 

Getreuer Christiansen, GEUS, states. 

- Due to the very compact and thick ice cover, 

we have only a very limited amount of data 

on the underground. It will be unrealistic to 

carry out any form of oil exploration in these 

areas for many years to come, he states. 

- Asked for a realistic time frame, Flemming 

Getreuer Christiansen mentions that 50 years 

are not unrealistic. This is in contrast with 5- 

10 years in the area north of the Diskos Island. 

When it comes to Western Greenland, the

A Need for 

Internationalization 

One of the challenges for the small and 

medium-sized Danish offshore companies is 

to achieve an increase in market share of the 

orders placed by large international offshore 

companies with a requirement of niche solutions. 

According to associate professor Svend Ole 

Madsen from the Institute of Environment 

& Commerce at the University of Southern 

Denmark, it will be necessary for companies 

to modernize their management- and sales 

strategies to be able to compete on the global 

markets. 

- The Danish offshore companies have over a 

period of 20-30 years had a harvest of experience 

from exploration and production of oil 

from areas with diffi cult access in the North 

Sea. This experience has led to huge assignments 

internationally, including a 30 billion 

DKK investment in Qatar, a 15 billion DKK 

investment in depleting 

fi elds in the 

UK 

sector and other large projects all over the 

world. But even during this period with great 

opportunities worldwide, the small and medium-sized 

companies face large market barriers, 

if they want to work within the offshore 

business, Svend Ole Madsen tells us. 

- Basically operators all over the world 

require a return on their large investments. 

Within normal commercial 

theory a payback period 

of 5-10 years is satisfactory, 

but within offshore the 

business is quite different. 

The focus is 

on quicker or larger 

profi ts, due to large 

risks involved in 

the business, not 

the least in areas 

with very tough 

weather and diffi 

cult accessibility. 

For the small 

and mediumsized 

companies 

in Denmark, 

this puts a high 

requirement on 

Cubeair is one of the 

Danish niche companies, 

which has achieved international 

attention. 

Cubeair produces a 

component which prevents 

damages in connection with 

bursts on high pressure 

pipes. Just now the component 

is being tested at Danish 

offshore installations in 

the North Sea. For several 

years the component has 

been used in the car and 

aircraft industry. 

their capability to deliver on time and within 

scope, as the consequences otherwise can be 

large, Svend Ole Madsen continues. Expertise 

and knowledge is not enough, the production 

and logistical capabilities have high priority. 

At Offshore Center Danmark this viewpoint 

is well understood. The offshore industry has 

always been very dynamic, and the scope of 

supply has had to adapt itself constantly to 

new international procedures and standards 

– but the process is not unmanageable – neither 

for newcomers. 

If the company is able to re-direct and accustom 

itself to the requirements with regards 

to international procedures and professional 

supply – then the window of opportunity is 

really large these years. The international 

market is huge, what we see in Denmark 

is just a very small portion of the market. 

Hence for the serious supplier, this market 

has vast possibilities, with a large number of 

niches, perfectly suitable for the many niche 

orientated Danish small and medium-sized 

companies, Peter Blach, Offshore Center 

Danmark, states. ■

New Markets 

all over the World 

Danish operators are focusing 

on new markets: 

The Danish operators are engaged several 

places in the world. The following list includes 

the signifi cant activities. In addition 

to operators many Danish service companies 

are active abroad. 

Norway (and Denmark) 

In Norway the company Pelican was acquired 

by DONG Energy in 2001, leading 

to increased Norwegian E&P activities. The 

Norwegian branch is today called DONG 

Norge, which is operator on four exploration 

licenses in Norway. 

In the year 2004 DONG Energy acquired a 

10 percentage share in the natural gas fi eld 

Ormen Lange, which went into operation 

late 2007. Natural gas is transported from 

Nyhamna in Norway to Easington on the 

British coast, through the world’s longest 

marine pipeline, called Langeled (translated 

“Long-joint”). The DONG Energy share of 

Ormen Lange corresponds to 10 years of 

natural gas consumption in Denmark. 

DONG Energy is 

active in the Danish, 

the Norwegian and the 

British part of the North Sea 

and the Atlantic Ocean, with participation 

in 66 exploration and production 

licenses, and with activities off the coast of 

Western Greenland. 

Hess has been active in the North Sea since 

1963. In Denmark, the Danish division of 

the company Hess Denmark is active in a 

series of licences including the fi elds South 

Arne, Amalie, Lulita and Hejre. In Norway, 

Hess is active in the fi elds Trym and 

Mjølner. Only Syd-Arne and Lulita are in 

production, with a subsea pipeline transporting 

the gas from Syd-Arne to the coast

of Jutland 

outside 

Esbjerg. Hess Denmark 

A/S is the operator of 

the Syd-Arne platform since its completion 

in 1999. The Hess Corporation has operations 

in the United States, United Kingdom, 

Norway, Denmark, Equatorial Guinea, 

Gabon, Azerbaijan, Thailand and Indonesia. 

On the Norwegian side DONG Energy is 

partner in three oil producing fi elds – 

namely Ula, Gyda and Tambar. The company 

participates also in the Glitne license, 

which went into production in 2001. 

Angola 

In June 2005 Maersk Oil acquired a 50% 

production share of Block 16 approximately 

100 km off the coast of Angola. The water 

depth is between 200 and 1,500 meters. 

Maersk Oil is operator and together with 

partners Devon (15%), Odebrecht (15%) 

and stateowned Sonangol (20%), an agreed 

exploration program is presently being pursued 

in the area. 

In June 2006 new agreements were made for 

Blocks 16, 8 and 23, with a Maersk Oil share 

of 50%. The partners are Occidental Petroleum 

(30%) and Sonangol (20%). The water 

depths are up to 500 meters in Block 8 and 

1,500 meters in Block 23 respectively. The 

exploration program has been initiated with 

collection of seismic data with subsequent 

drilling of test wells. 


Yearbook 2008 

Qatar 

On December 1st 2005, 

Maersk Oil and Qatar Petroleum 

agreed to redevelop the Al 

Shaheen fi eld offshore Qatar. The 

redevelopment plan involves more 

than 160 production and water injection 

wells over a 6-year period beginning 

2006. The plan includes the constructions 

of 3 new offshore platform complexes with 

production and staffi ng platforms – 18 

new platforms in total – interconnected by 

subsea pipelines. The Al Shaheen oil production 

is quickly growing from an initial 

240,000 barrels of oil per day in 2006 to a 

level of 525,000 barrels of oil per day by 

the end of 2009. For reference, Denmark is 

currently producing 310,000 barrels per day. 

As part of the development plan Maersk Oil 

Qatar will construct and operate a number 

of additional plants for processing and supply 

of natural gas to Qatar Petroleum for 

usage on their land-based installations. 

Kazakhstan 

Maersk Oil operates two oil fi elds in Kazakhstan, 

including the Saigak fi eld. Maersk 

Oil’s share of production was 2,400 barrels 

of oil per day in 2006. Maersk Oil also has 

a 60% share as operator on the Temir block 

in Western Kazakhstan, with Canadian 

Arawak as 40% share owner. 

The Saigak fi eld was put into production in 

2002, and includes fi ve wells, production facilities 

and has a capacity of 30,000 barrels 

per day, with a pipeline leading to a terminal 

in Shubarkuduk. 

In 2002 Maersk Oil acquired a 60% share 

as operator on the Dunga block. Paretex and 

Oman Oil each have a share of 20%. 

Turkmenistan 

In 2002 Maersk Oil entered into a production 

agreement for blocks 11 and 12, in an 

area of 5,700 km 2 outside Turkmenistan in 

the Caspian Sea. Exploration activities have 

been initiated. Maersk Oil has a share of 

36% with Wintershall as operator with 34%, 

and OMEL having acquitted the remaining 

30%.

New legislation 

paves the way for 

a higher safety 

standard 

Danish From Local Safety Act sets 

new to Global Standards Player 

The new offshore safety law will be implemented 

in 2009, but already today the law has 

a large importance with regards to what is 

reported to the Danish Energy Authority by 

offshore companies. 

In 2009 it is expected that 

the new safety law for the 

offshore industry will be approved 

in its fi nal form. The 

Act of Offshore Safety was 

enforced in July 2006, but 

the national energy authority 

is now working to detail 

the Act by listing a range of 

proclamations for the usage. 

In November 2007 the latest 

proclamations were approved 

by a commission of authorities 

and offshore representatives, 

and until all the proclamations 

have been approved, 

a set of temporary rules is in 

force, where elements from 

the previous Act of Offshore 

Safety will be used, but 

with the new proclamations 

gradually being enforced. 

– The intent of the new offshore 

safety act is to improve 

the Danish law to be the best 

within the offshore industry, 

but of course the fundamentals 

of the regulations will 

be made in accordance with 

international rules. Our task 

will be to ensure that the 

regulations are implemented 

within the offshore companies, 

Hans Erik Christensen, 

project manager within the 

Danish Energy Authority, 

tells us. 

The legislation, which hereto 

has been applicable within 

the offshore area, was part of a law concerning 

constructions at sea, dating back from 

Key clauses in the 

Danish safety law 

A couple of key clauses in 

the Danish “Law on Safety 

etc. of offshore installations 

used for exploration, 

production and transport 

of carbon-based fuels” also 

called the Act of Offshore 

Safety, are: 

§ 16 

”Everybody onboard an 

offshore installation must 

comply to the procedures, 

which have been ruled 

for the work and the stay 

aboard an installation, and 

must respect the provisions, 

which have been 

made with regards to 

safety and health related 

conditions.” 

§ 42, Paragraph 2. 

”The norms and standards 

following paragraph 1, can 

be deviated from, where 

reasonable to achieve a 

higher level of safety and 

health or as a consequence 

of new technical advances. 

It is a requirement to a 

deviation, that the risks related 

to safety and health, 

are reduced to the lowest 

levels, reasonably and 

practically possible.” 

Please refer to www.ens.dk for exact 

paragraphs and full law 

1985. A lot has happened within the Danish 

offshore area since then, and small changes 

in the existing law would have been inadequate. 

Hence a new law had to be formulated 

– also taking 

into consideration the politicians 

wishes of more understandable 

regulations and 

less administrative burdens. 

At present we are right in 

the middle of this work, 

and we are transforming 

the intents of the law into 

proclamations, which the 

industry then must follow, 

Hans Erik Christensen 

explains. 

Statutory 

statements 

One of the main elements 

of the new law is the 

requirements on operators 

to contribute with written 

statements with regards to 

Safety and Health on offshore 

installations – the socalled 

SSR statement. Companies 

must account for all 

aspects of risks and they 

must document that these 

risks are being reduced, and 

that installations have been 

constructed and arranged to 

minimize the overall risks. 

The SSR statement will 

be a document, which the 

Danish Energy Authority 

must approve, before the 

installation can be taken 

into operation. 

– Previously the legislation 

required companies 

to have a safety compliant 

statement, which had to be 

approved before permission 

was given to operate offshore. The new law 

requires companies also to consider health 


Yearbook 2008 

47


Yearbook 2008 

issues, e.g. working place environment and 

hygiene issues. When applying for permission, 

companies must show that all the elements 

of the new law have been collected in a 

plan taking into consideration overall safety 

and the health issues, Hans Erik Christensen 

explains. 

The ALARP-principle takes over 

- The starting point in the renewal of the law 

was safety and health risk considerations. 

Hence companies are requited to evaluate 

the safety and health risks present, and 

decrease them as much as possible – using 

the so-called ALARP principle: “As Low as 

Reasonably Practicable”. This principle is to 

a certain extent taken from the UK offshore 

safety legislations and today widespread to 

all oil producing nations in the North Sea. 

The companies must state how they consider 

the ALARP principle e.g. which risks are 

present, and how does the company reduce or 

remove these risks. Considerations must also 

be taken at all times to what are the technical 

and operational costs in order to reduce the 

actual risks. If the costs turn out to be unreasonable 

high compared to the benefi ts, then 

the company is eligible to omit rectifi cations 

to procedures and structures – quoting the 

ALARP principle. 

- Otherwise it would sometimes be very 

costly to make just marginal reductions of 

risks, e.g. when entire offshore structures 

would have to be changed. This aspect has 

been considered in the new law. For the same 

reason, the Danish Energy Authority must 

evaluate and approve the risk considerations 

of new installations constructed by the

operators, before any fi nal approval can be 

given to the construction, Hans Erik 

Christensen states. 

”Just like legislating on 

moon travel” 

At Esbjerg Safety Consult A/S consultancy 

is given to offshore companies on implementation 

of the new Offshore Safety Act. The 

impression here is that the new law will have 

an impact on only a few companies – namely 

operators and rig owners. 

Accident frequency for offshore installations. 

Accidents per million working 

hours. 

- The new Offshore Safety Act is a little 

like legislating on moon travel. The law is 

directed towards a small group of operators, 

and for all other companies the law has practically 

no implications, is the judgement from 

consultant H.C. Dahlerup Koch, Esbjerg 

Safety Consult. 

- The behaviour of most suppliers or subsuppliers 

is to a larger extent governed by 

regulations on working environment. With 

respect to the new law, basically the supplier 

will primarily ensure that the employees have 

attended the required safety courses, H.C. 

Dahlerup Koch continues. 

”Mutual Recognition of Safety 

Training” 

Within the companies supplying courses for 

safety and certifi cation, the new Offshore 

Key issues of offshore safety law 

The Offshore Safety Act was approved in July 2006, and was enforced by May 2007. 

Full implementation is expected by early 2009. One of the main principles of the law 

is the requirement to training of personnel to ensure the highest safety standards of all 

oil producing nations. 

- All employees on mobile or stationary oil installations must within the past 4 years 

have undergone fundamental safety training within fi rst aid, helicopter transport, 

maritime safety, fi re extinguishing and personnel safety. 

- Offshore employees must be able to perform fi rst aid following accidents or sudden 

illness. Furthermore they shall be able to operate transportable fi re extinguishing 

equipment and they must have theoretical knowledge with regards to prevention and 

fi ghting of fi res. 

- The procedures must be known with regards to safety precautions by helicopter 

transport, so that employees have a good knowledge of emergency procedures, emergency 

equipment and practical survival techniques. 

It is the responsibility of the operators to ensure that all employees have been trained 

adequately. Also according to the Offshore Safety Act, the companies operating 

offshore are obliged to ensure that the quality of the training has been evaluated by an 

external and impartial auditor. 

NSOAF - 

North Sea Offshore 

Authorities 

Forum 

The NSOAF is an international corporation 

between authorities in oil-producing 

countries surrounding the North Sea. 

The work undertaken is primarily done 

amongst two permanent working groups, 

one related to safety, health and environment 

and one related to training and 

education. 

The working group within safety, 

health and environment concentrates on 

harmonising the requirements to safety 

and health on offshore installations - the 

essence of the SSR statement mentioned 

in the Danish Act of Offshore Safety. 

The working group co-operates with 

the International Association of Drilling 

Contractors (IADC) within areas of mutual 

interest. The IADC has published a 

template for dealing with these matters of 

common interest, having also provided a 

template for preparation of a “HSE Case” 

(statement on Health, Safety and Environment). 

This template is seen as the basis 

for fulfi lling the directive 92/91/EØF with 

regards to a safety and health document, 

so that drilling rig operators do not have 

to fi ll in a new document each time a new 

national zone is entered, and only need to 

fi ll in a section related to special national 

interests. 

The following countries are represented in 

the NSOAF with the institutions mentioned 

accordingly.

Safety Act has been received in a positive 

way. The Act is part of a stepwise harmonization 

of safety standards and requirements 

to safety training. The new SSR-statement 

will still require companies to have safety 

certifi cations in each single land of operation, 

but will clearly make it easier to move from 

one country to another without applying for 

new approvals, since the Safety and Health 

statement is the same standard for all oil 

producing countries in the North Sea. 

Falck Nutec, STMS and other suppliers of 

safety courses still see a need of a ”gap-analysis”, 

taking into account local considerations 

so that each individual trainee has been 

trained to solve exactly the required task at 

the actual location. 

- In 1999 the term ”Mutual Recognition of 

Safety Training” was introduced, where the 

educational level of the trainee was anticipated, 

but where a need was seen for supplemental 

training to solve the tasks given. Instead 

of starting from scratch each time, the trainee 

is given supplemental training, and I see the 

Offshore Safety Act as a good opportunity to 

certify the Danish safety courses with respect 

to an international certifi cation, Jens Viggo 

Sørensen, operational manager of Falck 

Nutec, states. 

- And the next question might be, if there 

some time in the future will be a standard for 

conducting safety courses, which cover both 

national and international standards - Jens 

Viggo Sørensen continues. 


Yearbook 2008 

With their base in Esbjerg, the Danish 

branch of Falck Nutec is a good example of 

the internationalization, which presently is 

taking place within the offshore industry, 

and more specifi cally within safety and 

training, as a response to international requirements 

for standardised safety courses, 

certifi cation and training. From being a 

local school for fi remen in the early 1990´s, 

Falck Nutec Esbjerg is now part of an 

international organization with 17 centers 

for consultancy and training in a Danish 

company operating worldwide. 

Harmonized to 

IADC-requirements 

Each year, approximately 100,000 people 

participate in one or more courses at the 

Falck Nutec centers placed worldwide. Add 

this the large number of people attending 

the offshore courses of the other key course 

vendor STMS based in Esbjerg, the number 

of people trained in the offshore industry is 

quite signifi cant. At Falck Nutec the topics 

are offshore and maritime safety, ISPS 

security, chemical training, crisis management, 

and safety consultancy. Falck Nutec 

presently cooperates with IADC – the 

International Association of Drilling Contractors 

– to develop a safety course, which 

can be approved by international governing 

bodies, and also a number of test courses 

monitored by international authorities. ■ 

Simulation 

of Crisis 

Management 

Coinciding with the new Offshore Safety Act, 

Offshore Center Danmark has coordinated a 

project attended by a numbers of its members 

and a number of European institutions. 

The project will strengthen the training and 

response of personnel during oil spill catastrophes 

and may later be extended to cover 

safety scenarios, and is already being used for 

training by the Danish Admiral Fleet. 

In cooperation with several Esbjerg companies 

and Norwegian RKK Rogaland, Spanish 

Centro Jovellanos and the Estonian Maritime 

Academy, Offshore Center Danmark has 

coordinated a European project developing 

the CMS2 web-based simulations trainer for 

oil spill. CMS2 is based on real-life scenarios 

supplied by the maritime authorities of the 

participating countries. All relevant data are 

collected and logged as a tool of communicating 

and training in oil spill, with a later 

evaluation of the response of the trainees by a 

commander. 

- The new legislation and the cooperation 

amongst national and international companies 

and institutions is a good illustration of 

the attention and focus given to safety and 

environment within the offshore industry. The 

internationalization of this effort is important, 

so that the offshore industry can demonstrate 

that we do not only consider the safety and 

environmental requirements set up by national 

authorities, but also take international approach 

to reduce the risks, Peter Blach, director 

of Offshore Center Danmark, states.

POWER 

During the past 3 years Offshore Center 

Danmark has been participating in the 

POWER (Pushing Offshore Wind Energy 

Regions) project. The project is supported 

by the EU Interreg IIIB programme and 

was completed mid 2007. 

The POWER project team is made up of 37 

organizations from 5 different countries. 

Through the project, a joint approach to 

push the development of offshore wind in 

the North Sea region has been taken. Together, 

the POWER countries form a strong 

network currently holding 95% of all 

installed offshore wind power in the world. 

In total, the participating organizations are 

estimated to represent 500 companies in 

the POWER countries. 

POWER pursues the following objectives: 

• To unify offshore wind competence 

regions around the North Sea 

• To exchange experience and to learn 

from each other 

• To set up common strategies and real 

business to business contacts overcoming 

economic changes 

• To respond to new educational needs

CMS2: Crisis 

Management 

Simulator 2 

Leonardo da Vinci Training 

in Crisis Management 

Offshore Center Danmark has been given 

the administrative lead in the European 

Union sponsored project to develop an oil 

spill management training system. Other 

main partners are RKK Rogaland from 

Norway, the Sasemar Centro Jovellanos 

Integral Maritime Safety Training Centre 

from Spain, the Estonian Maritime 

Academy, the Admiral Danish Fleet and the 

Danish IT partner Antilope IT. 

A unique way of training in oil spill 

management using a web-based communication 

package, including chat windows, 

live training instructors placed remotely and 

easily adjustable training scenarios has been 

developed. 

Pre-defi ned training exercises are built on 

actual training scenarios and simulated in 

advance using oil simulation tools. Exercises 

provide graphical maps – satellite shots 

– with oil spill locations and their development 

in time. 


Yearbook 2008

The training exercises may be conducted together 

with the national navies and the other 

country institutions, using their experience 

in the actual national oil spill exercises, and 

meeting their concrete training requirements. 

The prerequisite work could also include participation 

in oil spill exercises together with 

national authorities for oil spill management 

and watching both operational communication 

and sailing offshore together with the 

rescue teams. 

The training is conducted as a role play, 

where the trainee can get instructions and act 

together with various institutions involved 

in oil spill accident handling. The actual 

roles can easily be adjusted to the countries’ 

national oil spill contingency plans; therefore 

this training system is expected to be used by 

the entire EU and could easily be adjusted for 

Pacifi c or American conditions. 

This training system allows a training to 

be conducted remotely for a wide audience, 

in relatively short (2-3 h) time and allows a 

detailed analysis and evaluation providing 

logging of the entire training course. 

The system is very easy to use and does not 

require any particular IT knowledge. A user 

CMS 

Crisis Management System 

manual is incorporated into the website and 

can easily be accessed at the time of training. 

Much additional information, like countries’ 

national contingency plans, contingency 

management guidelines, or engagement in 

international oil spill prevention agreements 

can be found at the countries’ pages and used 

at the time of training, providing additional 

help to the trainee. 

The course offers an opportunity to train 

responsible personnel in how to react to the 

oil spill accident, focusing on interinstitutional 

communication. 

The training solution developed is dedicated 

for a wide range of institutions, including: 

• Educational institutions and maritime 

training centres 

• National and local environmental 

authorities 

• Coast guard authorities 

• Shipping companies 

• Harbour authorities 

• Police and offshore operators, etc. 

• Press, media, etc.

Increased Oil Recovery 

from the Chalk Fields in the 

Danish North Sea Sector 

Oil in the Danish part of the North Sea is 

mainly found in chalk reservoirs. Chalk is 

characterized by having high porosity but 

low permeability – in other words: it can 

contain a lot of oil, but the oil is hard to extract. 

Due to the poor permeability it is only 

possible to extract a certain amount of the 

oil – currently the average rate of extraction 

is around 23%. If it was possible to increase 

that rate by only 1%, the extra production 

over a one year period would supply Denmark 

with enough oil to cover the national 

oil based energy demand for approximately 2 

years. This Offshore Center Danmark project 

looked into the challenges connected with 

increasing the extraction rate. 

The project ran from 2005 to 2007. The 

preliminary results were presented at an open 

Sub-soil Technology conference in Esbjerg in 

February 2007. 

Two research institutions – Aalborg University 

Esbjerg (AUE) and Geological Survey 

of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) – have 

been working on two technologies for the 

Increased Oil Recovery 


Yearbook 2008 

(IOR) with the subsequent laboratory experiments 

and/or numerical modelling. 

AUE has focused on Microbial Permeability 

Profi le Modifi cation (MPPM), which encompasses 

in situ injection of nutrients to the 

reservoir micro-organisms, whereas GEUS 

has worked on CO2 injection. 

AUE was investigating possibilities for 

MEOR (Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery) 

implementation in the Danish chalk fi elds. 

Microbe adaptation to salinity, formation 

water, reaction with molasses, reaction of 

microbial fl uid with chalk and gas leakage 

has been tested. 

GEUS has made a laboratory installation of 

reservoir rig for simulation of water fl ooding 

and the CO2-enriched fl ooding experiments. 

The experiments were made to determine 

the saturation evolution of a sample during 

a predetermined and precisely controlled 

sequence of events. 

The project was co-funded by Danish 

Ministry of Science, Technology and 

Innovation, and was coordinated by Offshore 

Center Danmark, with partners 

including Ramboll Oil and Gas, GEUS 

and Aalborg University (Esbjerg 

Institute). 

The companies supporting the 

project included Noreco, Hess Denmark, 

and Baker Oil Tools. 

The results of the project were described 

in two reports, which can 

be obtained at Offshore Center 

Danmark. ■

LNG Transport 

A growing market for the future energy supply 

is Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) transport. 

Currently, natural gas provides 25% of all 

energy consumption in the world, and the 

International Energy Agency has forecast 

that gas demand will grow at a faster rate 

than oil in the coming years. LNG is natural 

gas, which has been refrigerated to a cryogenic 

liquid at a temperature of under -161° 

Celsius. 

Douglas-Westwood, an international energy 

analyst, has stated that the growth of LNG 

in the period 2005-2009 will increase by

Focus on Danish 

Offshore - FDO 

Focus on Danish Offshore is a new Region 

of Southern Denmark project, started in 

Offshore Center Danmark in August 2007. 

The project has an objective to identify the 

special Danish core competences within the 

offshore industry, to continue development 

of these competences and making the 

industry more visible both nationally and 

internationally. 

The Danish offshore cluster is geographically 

located around Esbjerg. The Danish offshore 

industry is represented with over 350 

small and medium-size companies in the 

region. The cluster has a yearly turnover of 

7 billion DKK and today employs more than 

6,000 people. The cluster is well-organised, 

but is currently facing some problems for 

its further development: the lack of human 

resources and need for upgrade of existing 

competences. 

The project is divided into different steps. 

Rambøll Management and Oxford Research 

are used as the external consultants in the 

project to help with some particular tasks. 

Rambøll Management is responsible for an 

analysis of the offshore sector with a goal to 

identify the core competences in the Danish 

offshore sector. This is done using a questionnaire 

for the relevant offshore companies 

and the expert-interviews with selected 

offshore professionals. Oxford Research is 

an expert within cluster developments and 

assists the project with concrete recommendations 

for the future projects based on the 

workshops with Offshore Center Danmark 

member companies. ■

Competences and Resources 

for the Oil Sectors - CROSS 

A lack of manning resources is seen as one 

of the biggest obstacles for Danish offshore 

internationalization and further growth. 

The Danish offshore industry is experiencing 

a declining number of qualifi ed job 

seekers. It was therefore decided to initiate 

untraditional ways to attract resources, 

among others, looking at countries with 

no or very few oil and gas related activities 

and attract people from there. 

Offshore Center Danmark has asked its 

members to participate in a questionnaire 

to defi ne a need of qualifi ed human 

resources and offshore competences. The 

results of the questionnaire have shown 

that companies in the offshore industry are 

currently missing 180 new employees and a 

total of 320 new employees for the coming 

year. 2/3 of all companies feels that it is 

diffi cult to recruit the new employees. 

Germany, Scandinavia and the Baltic 

countries were mentioned among the potential 

sources for new human resources. 


Yearbook 2008 

In this regard Offshore Center Danmark 

has participated in a job fair in Kolding 

where focus was on the potential employees 

from Germany. Additionally, Offshore 

Center Danmark was present at job fairs 

in Hamburg and Berlin. All the attempts 

have resulted in an increased interest in 

opportunities within the Danish offshore 

industry and have helped participating 

companies in recruiting new employees. 

The essential focus in the project is on 

upgrading the existing educational level 

of the new employees required to be able 

to work in the offshore sector and to 

match the particular Danish standards. An 

analysis of the existing education for the 

industry has been made taking interviews 

with the representative companies in the 

industry to investigate their judgement of 

the existing offshore education. Companies 

are in general satisfi ed with the 

education offered, although they require a 

better adjustment to offshore.

institutions and industry should

African Offshore Studies 

An introduction to the magnitude, structure 

and workings of the oil and gas industry 

in West Africa 

Offshore Center Danmark continues the 

collaboration with the Industrialization 

Fund for the Developing Countries with an 

objective of helping the Danish investors 

fi nding new potential growth markets. A 

seminar was held in February 2007 with focus 

on Angola after a detailed investigation 

of the Angolan oil and gas industry. 

Proven oil reserves in Angola have tripled in 

the last seven years and comprise 8.0 billion 

barrels as of January 2007. The majority of 

the reserves are located in Angola’s offshore 

blocks. Angola is sub-Saharan Africa’s second 

largest oil producer behind Nigeria. 

Oil production in 2006 averaged 1.4 million 

bbl/d and will reach 2 million bbl/d by 2008, 

when new deep-water production sites are 

expected to coming online. 

The Study has also presented a brief introduction 

to the magnitude, structure and 

workings of the Angolan oil and gas industry, 

a market analysis in relation to offshore 

services in Angola and an identifi cation of 

relevant gaps in the market. The practical 

matters, like setting up the business in 

Angola, local partner requirement, investment 

possibilities have also been described along 

with the political and economical overviews. 

A corresponding study is currently being 

made for another West African oil producer

Market Requirements and Competence 

Developments of Newcomers to the 

Danish Offshore Oil and Gas Market 

To an increasing extent Small and Mediumsized 

Enterprises (SME) approach the 

offshore oil and gas industry as a new and 

interesting market. 

The market is considered as having a good 

growth and a reasonable return on investment. 

The offshore sector is however highly 

technical and complex, which often can be 

seen as a high entrance barrier by a new SME. 

A consequence of the above is that small and 

medium-sized companies frequently contact 

Offshore Center Danmark to get assistance 

and knowledge in connection with market 

penetration on the offshore oil and gas area. 

This new project will identify the entrance 

barriers for new SME’s and lower them for 

the newcomers to the Danish offshore oil and 

gas market. 


Yearbook 2008 

The following industrial sectors are represented 

in the offshore oil and gas sector: 

operators, offshore service and component 

providers, logistic and transport providers, 

HR, IT, materials providers of steel, aluminiums, 

composites etc. 

The project shall identify the opportunities 

for the companies, and focus will be directed 

to small and medium-sized enterprises in 

Denmark. The project ends up with a conference 

and course learning interested SME’s 

about possibilities and challenges within the 

offshore industry, and how to handle them. 

Project started 1st of June 2006 and will 

be completed 31st of December 2008. The 

project is co-sponsored by the Danish Ministry 

of Science & Technology.

based in Esbjerg (2007) 

• 80% of activities in the Danish part of the 

North Sea concentrates on Maersk Oil and 

Gas 

• Danish offshore market goes international. 

In 2002 40% of the Danish offshore market 

was international orientated. In 2006 

this had grown to 50%. 

On management when new SME’s approach 

the offshore oil and gas market: 

• Approach on the offshore market is an 

important strategic decision 

• Does the offshore market suit the SME’s 

existing core business? 

• Offshore knowledge is wanted by the 

manufacturers 

• Developed management systems required 

on HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environment, 

Quality). 

• With an advantage the SME might start as 

a 2nd or 3rd link supplier on the offshore 

market. 

• Offshore market has no place for “TRIAL 

AND ERROR”. Entering the market is to 

be done carefully. ■

Electronic Chips for 

offshore Drilling Pipes 

Electronic chips, which are activated upon 

activation of electronic power, have proven 

useful in many connections. This chip 

technology has been used innovatively in a 

project of development which Offshore Center 

Danmark has been project manager on for 4 

years now. 

The project develops an electronic chip for 

drilling pipes, so-called RF/ID tags, which 

are able to handle extreme long-term mechanical 

stress under HP/HT drilling conditions 

in the North Sea. In an incubator-style 

set up, alarms technology specialist Laybourn 

Trading & Technology - a one-man operation 

- teamed up with Maersk Contractors 

through Offshore Center Danmark to advance 

development of a chip that could stand 300 

bar/178°C conditions, while sending out an ‘I 


Yearbook 2008 

am chip number’ signal for use in identifying 

age, use, and service record of individual 

drilling pipes. 

The company Laybourn Trading from Gilleleje 

was an expert in the use of modern chip 

technology, and is now also operating in the 

offshore oil/gas industry. Following the fi rst 

2 years of project research and development, 

Laybourn Trading together with Offshore 

Center Danmark and Maersk Contractors 

during the past 2 years have tested the use 

of chips to unambiguously register thousands 

of drilling pipes, which are used 

when drilling for oil and gas. Every single 

drilling pipe is provided with an electronic 

chip, which is automatically read 

when the pipe is taken in use. That means 

that the drilling pipe now unambiguously 

can be identifi ed, where after all the data 

of the pipe are getting available for the 

drilling operator. In that way use, wear, 

servicing and maintenance of the drilling 

pipes can be optimized, with considerable 

savings as result. 

The road towards this innovative use of 

the chip technology was long and challenging. 

A large number of in-situ tests

were performed on the Danish part of the 

North-Sea, using a test matrix covering 

many different types of materials, RFID 

chips, and coating. Theory went hand-inhand 

with live tests during extreme physical 

live conditions, with vibrations and chemicals 

being just some of the challenges. The 

Offshore Center Danmark knowledge of 

offshore companies and project management 

was really put to use here. As always 

with offshore development projects, safety 

and quality went fi rst. Better safe than sorry 

has been the mantra of the project, but the 

road ahead now looks bright for the small 

and innovative Laybourn Trading. Actual 

commercialization will take place within 

the next year.■

Decommissioning 

Development Project 

For more than 10 years a group of companies, 

consultants, educational institutions and 

politicians in Esbjerg has made sincere efforts 

to enable the Port of Esbjerg to take part in the 

interesting decommissioning market (abandoning 

of used offshore constructions). 

These efforts culminated October 11th 2007, 

where an international conference on the 

issues was held at Musikhuset in Esbjerg. The 

conference Decom 2007 placed focus on the 

environmental areas concerning techniques 

and economy. Find the conference presentations 

at www.decom2007.dk. 

Focus areas in the Decommissioning 

Development project were: 

• Economy – cheapest and best technical 

solution 

• Health 

• Safety 

• Environment 

• Quality 

Valuable lessons have been learned through 

the Decommissioning Development project: 

• Inverse installation techniques using crane 

and barge is the best removal technique 

• Decommissioning of offshore constructions 

are high-technology projects and includes 

an extreme amount of engineering 

hours on: 

– Planning and design of the technique 

– Planning and design of the environ- 

mental and health matters 

– Control and inspection of technique as 

well as environmental and health matters 

• Subcontracting on large foreign decommissioning 

projects is an interesting option 

• Removal of steel and large constructions in 

the operation phase of offshore production 

is an interesting option. 

This includes Rig Repair where tons of 

used steel are removed and recycled 

• The ongoing work on Environmental 

Impact Assessment (EIA/VVM) is an important 

and invaluable step on decommissioning 

in the Port of Esbjerg 

74 


Yearbook 2008 

• Man hours on manual work in decommissioning 

are less than expected 

The Decommissioning Development Project 

is currently in the commercialization phase. 

These efforts are placed in a group of interested 

developers and fi rms. But the project is 

still situated in Esbjerg - Denmark’s Offshore 

City - with its particular advantages. 

Esbjerg advantages 

• Suitable locations and infrastructure 

• Capable and skilled companies 

• Knowledge and experience ■ 

The DECOM 2007 conference was 

attended by close to 100 people.

Offshore Wind Farm 

Access Systems 

The future of wind energy in Europe will 

be a growing offshore market, which gives 

new challenges for the wind industry within 

logistics, manufacturing and maintenance 

strategies. 

Weather conditions reduce the accessibility 

of offshore wind turbines, which additionally 

reduces the technical availability and 

has a direct impact on the energy production. 

Reliable, secure and certifi ed access systems 

to the coming offshore wind farms for 

service technicians is one of the key issues 

of the economic performance of offshore 

wind farms. The focus area for the Offshore 

Access project is the North Sea, the Atlantic 

Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Baltic 

Sea. 

There is a strong demand for access systems 

by the wind industry. Several ideas of access 

systems exist and are in use, but none of 

those ideas has established a professional 

state of the art up to now. And none of these 

systems is available as a standard access system 

with internationally accepted health and 

safety procedures at the moment. Offshore 

Access seeks state of the art solutions on 

76 


Yearbook 2008 

access by landing, access by helicopter, access 

by other means and common European 

legislations. 

The fi nal target of the TECHNICAL PART 

OF THE PROJECT is to achieve cost reductions, 

increase reliability and reduce maintenance 

cost of offshore wind farms. The fi nal 

result of the work is to give professional and 

useful inspiration for the wind industry. The 

fi nal target of the LEGISLATION PART 

OF THE PROJECT is to achieve useful 

socio-economic and environmental results. 

This will be achieved by efforts for common 

European procedures on health and safety, 

certifi cation and training programs. 

The total project budget is ¤ 5,050,000 (~ 38 

million DKK) and the requested reimbursement 

from the EU Commissions 7th Frame 

Work Programme are ¤ 2,975,000 (~ DKK 

22 million). Offshore Center Danmark is 

currently in the process of applying for funding 

at the EU Commissions 7th Frame Work 

Programme. The project is expected to start 

mid 2008 and end mid 2010. ■

Offshore Security 

Autumn 2007 a new development project 

carrying the name “Offshore Security” was 

started by Offshore Center Danmark. 

The background for this project is serious: 

Attacks on offshore installations are to be 

prevented. April 2005 a suicide attack was accomplished 

on a British oil tanker in the Gulf 

of Arabia. Saudi Arabia has subsequently allocated 

$ 5 billion to a terror security program 

for the Gulf containing military forces. 

The goal of the development project “Offshore 

Security” is to uncover possibilities and 

limits for securing offshore installations and 

transport systems in the North Sea with a special 

focus on Denmark. The project includes 

the total offshore supply chain: from land over 

the sea or the air to fl oating or fi xed offshore 

installations and back again. 


Yearbook 2008 

3 main activities are described: 

Design Base: analyze on possibilities and 

limits for securing offshore installations and 

transport systems in the North Sea with a 

special focus on Denmark. 

Security program: a proposal for an interconnected 

security program for a selected 

on- and offshore oil and gas installation in the 

North Sea. 

Dissemination of the project results in brochures 

and a conference. 

The project is supported by the Danish Ministry 

of Science by DKK 0,5 million and the 

project period is August 2007 until July 2009.

ERFA Groups 

Since the establishment of OCD in 2003, 

ERFA-groups have been important for the 

centre and its members. The four ERFAgroups 

act as business forums focusing on 

each their sector of the offshore industry. 

Represented in the ERFA-groups are suppliers 

and sub suppliers as well as consultants, 

service providers, training institutions and 

universities. This gives a possibility for the 

different industry partners to network with 

each other and with the academic institutions. 

Each group meets approximately 4 times a 

year to discuss current activities within their 

focus area. Often, an external lecturer is 

invited to give a presentation over relevant 

topics. 

Approximately half of all OCD member companies 

regularly participate in ERFA groups. 

In this section of the Yearbook you can 

read about the four different ERFA groups. 

Members of Offshore Center Danmark can 

freely join the ERFA groups suited for their 

businesses.

Basic Course 


Processing 

11 th. September 2008 

Processing is a central area of oil 

and gas production. Offshore, 

process platforms are host to a 

wide range of equipment and 

control systems that is to ensure 

effi cient operation of the platform 

and maximized production of oil 

and gas. 


Yearbook 2008 

In collaboration with the consulting engineering company 

COWI, Offshore Center Danmark offers a unique 

1-day course presenting the basics of offshore oil and 

gas processing. 

The course gives an overview of the treatment that oil 

and gas from the production wells undergoes, before 

it is ready to be sent to shore via pipelines or tankers. 

The course is a 1-day course and is held 

2 times a year in Esbjerg.

and Maritime Museum is the largest institution of its kind in 

Denmark focusing on Danish fi sheries and marine biology, 

the tidal wetlands (Wadden Sea), west Jutland coastal 

shipping and the North Sea offshore industries. So the 

theme of the museum can truly be said to be “people and 

the sea”. Like any other state museum, the Fisheries- and 

Maritime Museum is committed to collection, registration, 

preservation, research and consultancy within its particular 

fi eld of work. This work consumes the majority of the museum’s 

resources, but all this is not really apparent to the 

museum’s visitors. However, these activities form the basis 

for the museum’s informative work, for the books, articles, 

lectures, videos, fi lms etc.
