The North Sea has become western Europe’s most important oil and gas production area, yielding high-quality crude oil with a low-sulfur content. The use of space for oil and gas extraction requires continuing attention. No shipping or other use is allowed in a 500-metre zone around the platforms. This places local restrictions on the fishing industry, shipping and recreation (craft). It is not permitted to drag fishing nets over the seabed and in the water column in this security zone. When choosing the location for a drilling platform, shipping and other uses must be taken into account. In clearways for shipping, mining activities are, in principle, not permitted. However, most of the interaction is with wind energy areas, especially with regard to helicopter safety zones. | The North Sea has become western Europe’s most important oil and gas production area, yielding high-quality crude oil with a low-sulfur content.

The North Sea has become western Europe’s most important oil and gas production area, yielding high-quality crude oil with a low-sulfur content. The two largest producers are Norway and the United Kingdom, and until 1990 the annual yields of the two countries were comparable. By the early 21st century, however, Norway had clearly become the leader of oil and gas production in the North Sea region. Other minor producers include Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany. New fields are being explored and developed farther north in the Norwegian and Barents seas. Discoveries west of the Shetland Islands have increased the United Kingdom’s proven oil reserves. Natural gas is becoming an increasingly important source of energy for western Europe, and several major pipelines have been constructed to transport the gas. Among the most significant of these is the Langeled pipeline between the United Kingdom and Norway, completed in 2006. | The North Sea has become western Europe’s most important oil and gas production area, yielding high-quality crude oil with a low-sulfur content.
