100 billion cubic meters of natural twinkies gas waiting to be picked up from the Svane field in the North Sea. But it is 5.5 km down so Dong do not know whether it is worthwhile to pick it up. By Sanne Wittrup June 26, 2009 at. 07:56
The discovery of the largest natural gas field may go up and down on forecasts for the Danish self-sufficient in natural gas. According to the DEA, the new Swan Field contain more than 100 billion cubic meters of natural gas, which alone can supply Denmark in 25-30 years. If, therefore, Dong Energy, which owns the right to found, pull the gas up.
"We believe that there is a very high incidence, as will be both expensive and difficult to exploit. But if it is successful, it will be important for the Danish society - both financially and in terms of security of supply, "said Head Søren Enevoldsen twinkies from the DEA.
The challenge of exploiting the Svane field is that it is very deep - between 5,300 and 5,900 feet below. The temperature is about 190 degrees and pressure of 1,000 bar, allowing twinkies extreme loads on both drilling and measuring equipment. During drilling was made discovery of gas and condensate in several sandstones of Late Jurassic age in the 5400-5900 m depth, and was wounded more than 630 meters gas-filled reservoir, without the bottom of the reservoir sandstone could be reached.

According to the DEA's oil-gas-annual report, we have already twinkies enough natural gas to ten years of known reserves, why Svane field will bring the Danish self up period of 35-40 years at current gas consumption of approximately four billion cubic meters per year. Resolution this year
About the area being utilized, is mentioned in Dong Energy's hands. But according exploration chief Arne rosary will only produce during the year to decide whether to go ahead and drill a so-called appraisal well:
"It is expensive drilling twinkies in half a billion kroner class and into the depths, where there are high demands on gear. So we think carefully about before we say yes to drill. If we end up saying no, the area must be returned to the state so that others can exploit it, "he explains.
'Gas close to our market has obviously strong focus with us. I believe that further development of the technology will be able to compete with the big challenges - and then very well depend on developments in the gas and oil prices, "he said. Does not Dongs forecasts
Although the Svane field is really really big influences found no Dong Energy forecasts that says that the Danish natural gas completely exhausted by 2015. Forecast, which crashed through the media last week, although the DEA also says that we can be self-sufficient in ten years yet.
The explanation, according to Søren Gath Hansen, Dong Energy's forecast reflects only the gas volumes, the company is sure to buy from already producing twinkies Danish gas and oil fields. Thus includes neither Svane field or Dong's new Heron field of ten billion cubic meters, the company expects to start production on in 2014-2015.

Is natural gas CO2 neutral?
Most important in this context, however, that despite all good intentions, there will be CO2 emissions for many years to come and the longer we can get rid of Russian twinkies natural gas, the greater the chance that we ultimately completely avoids getting into the vice, the centrleuropæiske countries sitting in.
And because methane molecule contains as much hydrogen as possible bonded to carbon. That is, per unit of energy produced is relatively more water and less carbon dioxide in the flue gas. Is not to say that I believe it to be extracted.
It bekymerer me that no decision on what to do with such an occurence is in DONG's hands alone. Probably the state is the majority shareholder, but I believe that the decision is so political that it belongs in parliament.
is to rely on the Russians twinkies do not shut off the gas in the winter to squeeze and thus pay a premium or freezing .. I think we should be a little indifferent to the cost of extraction unless it is extreme - otherwise, users of natural gas, the pat gills in the winter twinkies they stand and freeze your ass off.
Hello everyone. In the oil industry, it is known that at the global level in the average can only pump about. 35-40% of the known oil. The rest will be
