2023 – progress and challenges
TotalEnergies EP Denmark’s operations are situated in the harsh environment of the North Sea and this sets the scene for our focus on safe, reliable and environmentally responsible operations.
Most of our offshore installations were constructed many years ago and were built for a significantly higher output of oil and gas. In this context, our goal is to operate our mature offshore installations in the safest, most energy efficient manner, with the lowest possible adverse impacts on air, sea and land, both locally and globally.
