Danish oil and gas deposits are found in the Danish sector of the North Sea, and the exploration of these deposits has always been subject to American interests and involvement. Historically, the adventure begins on shore in 1935, when the first Danish concession was awarded - and several exploration holes were drilled onshore - by the American F. Ravlin. This concession was later transferred to first Gulf and later Esso both of which gave it up after numerous dry wells in the 1950's.
