In our notified the Danish oil company Mærsk Oil that Tyra field had problems.
It has been difficult to find a profitable solution to produce the remainder of the gas in the field, since they are over 30 years old plattformenes life soon is there.
In addition, the sink reservoir, so that the distance from the sea surface to the platform decreases. It is a security risk, which tragically was demonstrated one year ago, when a wave led to the death on a platform at the Troll field in the north Sea.
Now, the oil company provided information to the Danish gas market is that it is not possible to find a profitable solution to the challenges of Denmark’s largest gas field.
– Tyra field will thus close 1. October 2018, says Mærsk Oil in a press release.
Statoil: This need to add Norwegian pipeline to the Eastern Europe
Want Norwegian gas
no Matter about the Tyra-field, the rods or not, is Denmark’s production falling. It can contribute to new business opportunities for Norway.
Denmark and Poland considering namely to associate gassnettene their together with the Norwegian gas system with a gas pipe with a capacity of up to 10 billion cubic meters per year.
Norwegian Gassco has together with the Danish and the Polish authorities made a comprehensive study of the potential rørutvidelsen, which is called “Baltic Pipe”.
the Project to be finished already in 2022, according to the Danish gas operator energinet.dk and Poland’s gas operator Gaz-System S. A.
the Study, which was completed this month, is partly funded by the EUROPEAN union.
According to Gassco start the concept phase in the project up after the new year.
theNORWEGIAN TUBES: To see the operator of the Danish gassnettet that Denmark and Poland can associate themselves with the Norwegian gas system.
Central to the project
Rørprosjektet between Norway, Poland and Denmark are also on a list of 195 major infrastructure projects that are considered to be of common interest for the union, as part of a strategy to strengthen the long-term energy security.
How the tubes should be funded is not known. According to the Engineer should the cost be between 10 and 16 billion Danish kroner.
two years ago said Statoil to E24 that it can be interesting to deliver piped gas to Eastern Europe if a big country such as Poland is.
Danish production falls
the Reason that a Norwegian gas pipe to be considered are, among other things, that Poland and Eastern Europe want to access energy from multiple sources.
The two largest gassleverandørene to Europe are Russia and Norway. Several countries in Eastern Europe have only access to deliveries from the Russian Gazprom, and have therefore little chance to be able to negotiate down the prices.
Denmark is transittinntektene important. Income on the shipping of gas from Norway through Denmark to Poland will be able to reduce transport costs for Danish gasskunder, according to energinet.dk.
Important hub
Tyra is a hub for a variety of other fields, and it handles around 90 per cent of Danish gas production.
Thus, the removal of the installations also cut much of Denmark’s own production.
MORE IMPORTS: When Mærsk Oil closes Tyra field and much of the Danish gas production will, in the short term be a need for more gassimport via Germany, according to the operator of the gassnettet.
Gas production in Denmark has fallen since the mid 2000s and was at 4.5 billion cubic metres in 2014. For comparison, annual Norwegian gas production is about 115 billion cubic meters.
The IEA predicts full throttle – but not in Norway
Want new Tyra
Danish authorities wish that Tyra field will be built on and start the production again in the 2020′s, but it is a project that probably will cost around 30 billion. Mærsk has therefore asked the state to contribute, according to JydskeVestkysten.
this measure from the Mærsk can be clean forhandlingstaktikk, says an analyst, according to Ritzau.
at the same time, Denmark plan in order that the country may import more gas to come. A possible steps to ensure the future supply of gas, it is to associate themselves with the Norwegian gas system, said energinet.dk in april of this year.
Mærsk Oil says that the company will continue the dialogue with the Danish authorities to find out what that one should be able to rebuild the Tyra field.
the Case continues below the advertisement.
The last few years, the partners in the Tyra field, including Shell and Chevron, spent more than a billion Danish kroner to enhance installations and extend the production.
More vulnerable
Energinet.dk has assessed what happens if Tyra closes after 2018, and say that, in the short term will increase the need to import gas from Germany.
Gassnettet are also more vulnerable to interference. It increases the risk that one must declare the emergency, type energinet.dk in a report.
It is particularly if it gets very long and cold winters that this will be a challenge, although this has not happened in the life of the Danish gassnettet, according to energinet.dk.
– We consider, therefore, whether there is a need for further measures, said director of system development Søren Dupont Kristensen in energinet.dk earlier this month, when he presented a report on the security of the country’s gas supply.
