TotalEnergies has just announced that the Harald East Middle Jurassic nearby exploration well (HEMJ-1X) has discovered additional gas condensate resources in the Harald field, in the Danish North Sea.
Located in shallow waters, 250 km off the west coast of Denmark, the HEMJ-1X well was drilled in the Eastern part of Harald field and encountered 48 meters of net gas condensate pay in a good quality reservoir.
Statement from the French oil giant says the HEMJ-1X well will be immediately connected to the Harald platform, and it’s expected to start producing before the end of the year through the existing Harald and Tyra facilities.
“The success of the Harald East Middle Jurassic well, nearby our Harald facilities in Denmark, demonstrates the strength of our Exploration strategy. This additional discovery at the Harald field will contribute to Danish energy supply by boosting our existing production in the North Sea in line with the Danish National Compromise”, says Kevin McLachlan, Senior Vice President Exploration at TotalEnergies.
TotalEnergies is the operator of the Danish Underground Consortium with a 43.2% working interest, alongside Joint Venture partners BlueNord (36.8%) and Nordsøfonden (20%).
TotalEnergies says it is leading other energy companies in Denmark, with operations in oil and gas as well as renewable electricity, employing a diverse and international workforce of around 1,200 people located in Esbjerg, offshore, and in Copenhagen. The company says it operates more than 80% of oil and 90% of gas produced in Denmark, with a strong focus on emissions reductions as “demonstrated by the end of routine flaring on its assets in 2023.” Adding the Company said that it is developing, at the moment, carbon storage projects in the country, which could store up to 5 Mt/y of CO2 by 2030. In Integrated Power, TotalEnergies says it is also developing two offshore wind projects (for a capacity of 405 MW) and that it is working on developing additional activities in wind, solar energy and biogas. Dating back more than half a century, it says its contributions to the Danish energy supply, economy, and employment have been second to none.
