Maersk Oil, the oil and gas unit of Danish conglomerate AP
Moller-Maersk A/S (MAERSK-A.KO), said Tuesday that production has
started from the new unmanned platform Tyra Southeast-B in the
Danish North Sea.
The platform is expected to add reserves of 50 million barrels
of oil equivalent (BOE) over the next 30 years to Danish
production, it said.
The new platform, located 220 kilometres off Denmark's west
coast, will produce a mixture of oil and gas and is expected to
deliver 20 million barrels of oil and 170 billion standard cubic
feet of gas, combined reserves and resources of 50 million BOE,
with peak production in 2017 of 20,000 BOE a day.
Total investment in the Tyra Southeast expansion is DKK4.5
billion.
