    FREDERICIA, Denmark  – DONG Energy has agreed to divest 5% of the UK Edradour field to Total E&P UK Ltd., which, when completed, results in an aligned DONG Energy participation of 20% in the four UK West of Shetland fields: Laggan, Tormore, Edradour, and Glenlivet. Total is the sole co-owner (80%) and operator of the fields.

    DONG Energy and Total have decided on a joint development of the Edradour and Glenlivet fields, by way of tie-in to the Laggan and Tormore infrastructure, with both fields expected to contribute to production in 2018.
