- Crude Oil and Condensate Production refers to the total volume of crude oil and lease condensate extracted from oil and gas reservoirs within a country during a given year.
Denmark Crude Oil and Condensate Production was 60.00 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2023, down 7.7% on 2022. The Crude Oil and Condensate Production dataset of Denmark from 2015 to 2023 provides a clear and consistent view of the country's oil production landscape, highlighting production trends, crude oil output, condensate volumes, and overall supply patterns throughout the review period.
Denmark Crude Oil and Condensate Production moved from 158 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2015 to 60.00 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2023 (−62%), an average of −11.4% a year. The series high was 158 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2015 and the low 60.00 Thousand Barrels Daily in 2023.
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2023) is 98.00 Thousand Barrels Daily. The sharpest single-year move was −30.1% in 2020.
Among the 28 countries in this dataset, Denmark ranks 28 for 2023, behind U.S. (12,927 Thousand Barrels Daily) and Russia (10,554 Thousand Barrels Daily). It accounts for 0.1% of the global total in 2023.

Data definition
Crude Oil and Condensate Production — - Crude Oil and Condensate Production refers to the total volume of crude oil and lease condensate extracted from oil and gas reservoirs within a country during a given year. It is typically measured in thousand barrels per day (kb/d) and represents the production of unrefined liquid hydrocarbons before processing or refining. Crude oil is the naturally occurring liquid petroleum extracted from underground reservoirs, while condensate is a light hydrocarbon liquid that separates from natural gas when pressure and temperature decrease during production. This indicator provides insight into a country's upstream petroleum production capacity, resource availability, and contribution to global oil supply.
The data includes the production of crude oil extracted from conventional and unconventional oil fields, as well as lease condensate recovered at the wellhead or during field processing before refining. It covers both onshore and offshore oil production and includes output from integrated oil and gas operations where condensate is produced alongside natural gas. Production is reported before refining and excludes downstream petroleum processing activities. The dataset is compiled using standardized international energy reporting methodologies based on national production statistics and industry data, enabling consistent comparison of crude oil and condensate production across countries and over time.
The data excludes refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and other products obtained through refinery processing. It also excludes natural gas production, natural gas liquids (NGLs) other than lease condensate, synthetic fuels, biofuels, oil shale products, and petroleum derived from coal-to-liquids or gas-to-liquids processes unless specifically stated in the reporting methodology. The indicator does not measure crude oil reserves, exports, imports, domestic consumption, refinery throughput, or production value. Minor differences may occur due to variations in national reporting standards, condensate classification, and estimation methodologies across countries.

This indicator provides insight into a country's upstream petroleum production capacity, resource availability, and contribution to global oil supply.
Measured in thousand barrels per day, the dataset reflects the volume of crude oil and condensate produced from domestic offshore fields, making it an important indicator of upstream petroleum activity, production capacity, energy security, and resource development.
Denmark produced 158 thousand barrels per day of crude oil and condensate in 2015, declining to 142 thousand barrels per day in 2016 and 138 thousand barrels per day in 2017. Production continued to decrease to 116 thousand barrels per day in 2018 and 103 thousand barrels per day in 2019 as mature oil fields experienced natural production declines. Output fell further to 72 thousand barrels per day in 2020, followed by 66 thousand barrels per day in 2021 and 65 thousand barrels per day in 2022. In 2023, production declined to 60 thousand barrels per day, the lowest level recorded during the review period, reflecting continued reductions in domestic oil production.
Overall, the dataset highlights a consistent long-term decline in Denmark's crude oil and condensate production throughout the review period. The sustained decrease reflects the maturity of offshore reserves, declining field productivity, and limited new production growth. The dataset serves as a valuable resource for monitoring domestic oil supply, evaluating upstream production performance, forecasting future output, and supporting energy market assessments and policy formulation. It also provides important insights for governments, researchers, investors, and industry stakeholders seeking to understand long-term production trends and the evolving role of domestic oil resources within Denmark's energy sector.
