Industry sources reported on 25 September 2018 that Total has agreed to purchase from Chevron all the share capital of Chevron Denmark Inc. The latter holds a 12% interest in the Danish Underground Consortium (DUC) as well as a 12% interest in the 8/06 Area B licence and a 7.5% interest in the Tyra West pipeline. The transaction remains subject to approval of partners and the relevant authorities.  Once the deal approved, Totalâs participation in DUC will increase from 31.2% to 43.2%, the other partners of the consortium are Shell (36.8%) and the Danish North Sea Fund (20%, owned by the Danish State).  Jude 1 was drilled in 2015 in the 8/06 Area B block and is understood to have been an appraisal well for the Bo South discovery made in 2008. The original licence 8/06 was split into area A and area B in March 2013. Area A, which covered the Elly and Luke discoveries, was relinquished in November 2013. As a result of a technical and commercial evaluation of the discoveries Maersk concluded that it could create more value in other projects which have less associated risk (Elly and Luke were HPHT fields with high CO2 content).
