Denmark Approves New Offshore Oil and Gas Field.

[NNadir]

Denmark, of course, has no interest whatsoever in phasing out dangerous fossil fuels.

None.

Zip.

Zero.

STAVANGER, Norway -- The Danish Energy Agency has approved Hess’ plan for further development of the South Arne field, according to partner Noreco.

Phase III of the Danish North Sea project will involve drilling two infill wells this year, conducting screening studies into the potential in the field’s northern segments, and the possibility of further infill drilling in the Tor and Ekofisk formations in the main producing area. Based on this new work, a revised development plan will be submitted in the second half of 2010.

Last year, Noreco participated in the Maersk-operated Middle Jurassic Gita discovery, which may extend into three Danish North Sea licenses. Noreco estimates the field’s potential resources at 250 MMboe with substantial upside, following a recent review by its subsurface team.

The company says further drilling is needed to define the accumulation’s vertical and lateral extent, both of which may be significant. This year a seismic processing program is planned involving four different surveys, aimed at pre-stack depth migration to improve depth imaging. Reducing the depth uncertainty should optimize subsequent placement of appraisal wells, one of which Noreco hopes to drill in 2011.

Drill! Baby! Drill! (...and then claim to be a renewable paradise.)

Of course, the number of anti-nukes on this website who would criticize their favorite oil and gas greenwashing country, Denmark, for using the same technology - the same technology which killed 167 people in the Piper Alpha disaster - is, as usual, zero.

2. There are ZERO anti-nukes here who can SHOW ONE nuclear energy related death in this country

in the last 40 years.

If they had one, they would bitch and moan about that death indefinitely, because in their morally vapid asshole universe, one nuclear energy related death is worth millions of deaths from other forms of energy each year.

That's pretty fucking clear, given the number of anti-nukes who give a rat's ass about what's happening in the Gulf of Mexico this evening, or give a fuck about the thousands of Ukrainian coal miners who died in the last two decades, or the 1.6 million people who die every year from soot.

The number of anti-science anti-nukes who understand chemistry, toxicology, or any other science is ZERO.

They are all moral Lilliputians, scientific Lilliputians, every last one.

Nuclear energy need not be perfect to be vastly superior to all the stuff dogmatic, unthinking, and uninformed anti-nukes don't care about. It merely needs to be better than everything else, which it very clearly is to anyone with a mind.

3. What a sociopathically stupid post - ever heard of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Program?

N0? - is that because the number of anti-science pro-nukes who understand chemistry, toxicology, or any other science is ZERO.

Are are all moral Lilliputians, scientific Lilliputians, every last one?

yup and yup

Oh yeah - there are probabaly 600,000 uranium workers that are eligiblle fot this and tens of thousands of claims have been paid.

nuclear power kills

yup!

4. Thanks for documenting the attention span of anti-nukes, and their data analysis abilites, which

are ZERO.

ALL anti-nukes are dangerous fossil fuel apologists, every last one, all denialists, all uninformed, and all are irredeemably connected to maintaining the dangerous fossil fuel status quo until the last cap rock is shattered.

The figures from the Danish Energy Agency are what they are, and all the moaning apologetic bullshit in the world will not change them.

5. This from the guy that tells us he's invented an molten salt breeder reactor the eats CO2

:rofl:

6. Nnad's position is: Don't drink the fossil fuel aresenic!

Have the nuclear cyanide instead; it's good for you!!!
