TotalEnergies has announced the discovery of additional gas condensate resources in the Harald field in the Danish North Sea.

The company said on Harald East Middle Jurassic nearby exploration well (HEMJ-1X) was drilled in the Eastern part of Harald field and encountered 48 meters of net gas condensate pay in a good quality reservoir.

Located in shallow waters, 250 km off the west coast of Denmark, the HEMJ-1X well will be immediately connected to the Harald platform and is anticipated to start producing by year end 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”, said Kevin McLachlan, Senior Vice President Exploration at TotalEnergies.

Notably, TotalEnergies is the operator of the Danish Underground Consortium with a 43,2% working interest, alongside Joint Venture partners BlueNord holding 36,8% interest and Nordsøfonden  holding the remaining 20%.
