Geographic Spotlight: Denmark
Friday, July 31, 2026. DENMARK ENERGY PROFILE. CRUDE OIL PRODUCTION: Denmark crude oil production approximately 74,000 barrels per day (March 2026); December 2025 71,641 barrels per day; long-term declining trend. Annual crude oil 2024 4.1 million barrels, up 6% year-over-year. Solsort offshore field came online March 2024, contributing approximately 10% of output. NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION: Natural gas output 2024 2.5 terawatt-hours, up 25% year-over-year, driven by Tyra II redevelopment and Solsort field contributions. Domestic natural gas production increased 64% year-over-year (+1 billion cubic meters) due to Tyra field redevelopment. EUROPEAN NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION: 2026 forecast approximately 38 billion cubic meters for select EU countries, including Denmark contributions. WIND ENERGY: Denmark global leader in wind energy. Ongoing policy focus on renewables to support energy transition. LONG-TERM TREND: Oil and gas production declining amid North Sea maturation. Shift to renewables underway. OIL AND GAS FUNDING: Activities via Nordsøfonden support short-term output while funding shift to renewables.
