Danish Energy Agency gets new application for new oil and gas licence in the Danish North Sea

[NNadir]

The Danish Energy Agency (DEA) has received an application regarding a licence for oil and gas exploration covering an open acreage of the Danish North Sea from the Licensee of Licence 2/05, see map. The area applied for is adjoining Licence 2/05. The Licensee of Licence 2/05 is Altinex Oil Denmark (Noreco), Elko Energy and The Danish North Sea Fund.

The application signals the oil companies’ sustained interest in exploring for oil and gas in the Danish North Sea. The application area is positioned in a part of the North Sea where only minor oil and gas exploration activities have been performed over the last few years and Licence 2/05 is the only licence neighbouring the area.

The Danish Minister for Climate and Energy has decided to initiate a so-called adjoining area procedure in order to issue a licence for exploration for and production of hydrocarbons covering the area. The Danish Subsoil Act gives opportunity for granting a licence for exploration for and production of hydrocarbons to holders of an adjoining licence in cases where a prospect or discovery extents into open area. Given that the before mentioned conditions are fulfilled all licence holders to adjoining areas, if any, are invited to submit an application.

Um...um...um...whatever happened to "the world can run on renewable energy?"

Denmark and Norway are the only countries in Western Europe that remain net exporters of dangerous natural gas and dangerous oil, most of which is converted into dangerous fossil fuel waste and dumped into Earth's atmosphere.

The Danes run a great red herring scam however, by putting chunks of greasy whirling metal on platforms near their oil wells, none of which will last very long, but will serve well enough to distract attention from their real energy agenda.
