Danish DUC oil output rises in June vs May

COPENHAGEN, July 14 (Reuters) - Denmark's North Sea oil and condensate production in the DUC consortium rose to 231,300 barrels per day in June from 225,700 bpd in May, Maersk Oil & Gas AS said on Tuesday.

June oil and condensate production was down, however, from a year earlier when it totalled 254,500 bpd, Maersk said.

Dansk Undergrunds Consortium, DUC, is a joint venture of A.P. Moller-Maersk (MAERSKb.CO) with 39 percent, Shell (RDSa.L) with 46 percent and Chevron (CVX.N) with 15 percent.

The consortium's gas exports fell to 440 million standard cubic metres in June from 580 million in May and from 710 million in June 2008, Maersk said.
