About Maersk Oil
Maersk Oil was established in 1962, when
Mr A.P. Moller was awarded the concession
for oil and gas exploration and production in
Denmark.
Today, Maersk Oil is a midsize international oil
and gas company operating an oil production
of some 650,000 barrels per day and a sales
gas production of up to some 1,000 million
cubic feet per day. The company has an
equity production exceeding 550,000 barrels
of oil equivalents per day from fields in the
Danish and British part of the North Sea,
offshore Qatar, in Algeria and in Kazakhstan.
Activities are ongoing in the Danish, British,
German and Norwegian sectors of the North
Sea, Qatar, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Angola,
US Gulf of Mexico, Turkmenistan, Oman,
Morocco and Brazil.
Innovative application of advanced seismic
processing techniques combined with ultra
long horizontal drilling and Maersk Oil's
completion and stimulation technology, has
been key to Maersk Oil's continued success.
In addition, attention to health and safety, a
strong respect for the environment and a cost
conscious operation has made Maersk Oil
grow to become one of the world's top 25
independent oil and gas producing companies.
It is Maersk Oil's strategic intent to continue
this growth. The company believes that
this can be achieved by fully utilizing the
potential of existing core production areas and
establishing and growing material business in
new desired core areas.
Maersk Oil and its subsidiary companies
are owned by A.P. Moller - Maersk A/S
and are part of the A.P. Moller - Maersk
Group. Maersk Oil has its headquarters in
