North Sea oil fields

North Sea oil fields are underwater reservoirs located beneath the North Sea, primarily between the UK, Norway, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands. They contain crude oil and natural gas trapped in underground rock formations. Special drilling platforms and technology are used to extract these resources from beneath the seabed, often through offshore rigs. The oil and gas produced are major energy sources, fueling industries and generating revenue for the countries involved. The development of North Sea fields has been crucial since the 1960s, but their extraction now faces challenges like declining reserves and environmental concerns.
