Harbour is one of the largest oil and gas producers in Germany with a significant operated position. Production is both oil and gas and diversified across three production hubs: Mittelplate, Germany’s largest oil producing field, Langwedel-Holtebüttel which includes the major Völkersen gas field, and the Emlichheim heavy oil field.

Harbour also has a Technology & Service Centre in Barnstorf with a global core storage facility and apprentice training centre. Here we develop and optimise production techniques, curate drilling and simulate CO₂ injection in potential deposits. In addition, the decommissioning department in Barnstorf is dedicated to the plugging of former production wells and the abandonment and recultivation of former production facilities throughout Germany.

Production averaged 29 kboepd over the period from 3 September 2024 to 31 December 2024, contributing 10 kboepd to the Group’s full year production (2023: N/A). This reflects strong production efficiency from the three hubs compensating for delays to new wells and projects coming on-stream.

Most of Harbour’s operations in Germany are electrified and, as a result, the Business Unit has the lowest GHG emissions intensity, on a gross operated basis, in Harbour, largely reflecting development activities across the three production hubs.
