COPENHAGEN, July 6 (Reuters) - The Danish Energy Agency
has launched a tender for the exploration and production of oil
and gas at a new concession in the North Sea, it said in a
statement on Thursday.
    The agency initiated the tender process following an
unsolicited application from Norwegian energy company BlueNord
 BNOR.OL  to the Danish energy ministry in April, it said.
    Companies will be able to apply for a permit for new oil and
gas concessions under the tender until October 15, the energy
agency said.
    It estimates the gas volume for the two fields included in
the mini-tender, Elly and Luke, to be about 5.2 billion cubic
metres.
