Danish police have over the weekend received reports of drone activity near the Roar gas field in the North Sea, a police spokesperson said on Oct. 4.

The Roar Field is next to Denmark’s largest gas field, Tyra, both of which are operated by TotalEnergies SE.

Denmark has, like some other countries in the region, raised its emergency preparedness level for its power and gas sector after several countries said two Russian pipelines to Europe leaking gas into the Baltic Sea had been subject to sabotage.

The French energy company said last week it had observed “unauthorized drone activity” near one of its other offshore oil and gas installations in the North Sea, the Halfdan B field.

Asked about drone activity spotted close to one of its gas fields in the North Sea, TotalEnergies on Oct. 4 told Reuters it was in touch with Danish police and military as well as the country’s energy agency on the matter.
