The canteen and the reception area were full of guests when DONG Energy’s new premises centrally located at the port of Esbjerg were officially inaugurated on Thursday 25 August. Flemming Horn Nielsen, newly appointed country manager of E&P Denmark in the business unit Exploration & Production which explores and produces oil and gas, held the official inauguration speech:

“ When we hear Danish politicians say that the Danish oil adventure in the North Sea is on the decline, they are certainly not talking about DONG Energy’s fields. On the contrary, in the coming five to six years, we face a quadrupling of the oil and gas production in the Danish sector of the North Sea and naturally, this will result in more activities and will require more employees here in Esbjerg.”
