About the company:
Maersk Oil Mærsk Olie og Gas AS (Maersk Oil) is a company owned by A.P. Møller – Mærsk A/S, and is part of the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group. Maersk Oil was established in 1962, when Mr A. P. Møller was awarded the concession for oil and gas exploration and production in Denmark. In 2003, the concession period was extended from 2012 until 2042 and terms and conditions were adjusted as of 1 January 2004. Today, Maersk Oil is an oil company operating an oil production of some 650,000 barrels per day and a sales gas production of up to some 1,000 million cubic feet per day. The company has an equity production exceeding 550,000 barrels of oil equivalents per day from fields in the Danish and British part of the North Sea, offshore Qatar, in Algeria and in Kazakhstan. Activities are ongoing in the Danish, British, German and Norwegian sectors of the North Sea, Qatar, Algeria, Angola, Kazakhstan, Oman, Us Gulf of Mexico and Brazil. The main part of Maersk Oil’s operated production is from low permeability, high porosity chalk and limestone reservoirs, which prior to the 1980’s were deemed unattractive due to low production rates. Innovative application of advanced seismic processing techniques combined with ultra long horizontal drilling and Maersk Oil’s completion and stimulation technology, has been key to Maersk Oil’s continued success. In addition, attention to health and safety, a strong respect for the environment and a cost conscious operation has made Maersk Oil grow to become one of the larger independent oil and gas producing companies. It is Maersk Oil’s strategic intent to continue this growth. The company believes that this can be achieved by fully utilizing the potential of existing core production areas and establishing and growing material business in new desired core areas.
