The UK Exploration and Production activities are focussed in the Atlantic Margin, an area between the Shetland Isles and the Faeroe Islands. Significant oil and gas reserves have been confirmed in this region, which is often referred to as West of Shetland.

DONG Energy is one of the most active explorers and developers of oil and gas in the West of Shetland and helped seed the growth of gas production in the region. This is not just about prospects – many fields in the area are now being developed. There’s also new infrastructure  which DONG Energy invested in and owns, that will deliver more indigenous supplies of gas and oil from the West of Shetlands to the UK for years to come.

DONG Energy was instrumental in the West of Shetlands evolution for producing gas and we continue to be a partner in many of the fields.

That includes the Laggan Tormore development which was approved in early 2010 and is now under construction.
