Denmark sees oil output down 6.5% at 245,000 b/d

摘要

Copenhagen-Denmark's crude oil output this year is expected to fall 6.5% to 245,000 b/d, while natural gas production is set to drop 4% to 7.385 billion cubic meters, the Danish Energy Agency said December 1. This most recent crude production esti- mate is a 6% rise on the previous 2010 fore- cast of 231,000 b/d from the agency's annu- al report in June, but is down from 2009 crude production of 262,000 b/d. The agency said the upward adjustment in the crude esti- mate for 2010 mainly reflects a shorter shut- down period for maintenance for the main fields than projected in the last estimate.
