In June we reported that the Danish 8th oil and gas licensing round had been opened with a deadline for the submission of tenders of 1 February 2019. The exploration and production activities of the oil and gas companies that are awarded licences in the 8th licensing round will be subject to the Danish Subsoil Act (“Undergrundsloven”). The Danish Ministry of Energy, Utilities and Climate has recently issued a new version of the Act, which consolidates the changes to the Act since the most recent consolidation in 2011. We have prepared a briefing note on the Act with a number of references and links that may be of interest to anyone involved in oil and gas on the Danish continental shelf.
