History 

Esbjerg Petroleum Club now EnergiESbjerg was founded in 1983 by members of the local Oil and Gas industry. The idea of the foundation came from other similar clubs from among others Houston, Singapore and Aberdeen.

The first board of EnergiESbjerg consisted of Henning Kruse (Esbjerg Oilfield Services), Erik Hansen (Dansk Process Control), Willie Ayres (Halliburton), John Lyng (DNV), Preben Glue (Varde Bank), Mike Maddocks (Jutlandia Oil Consult) and Vagn Mols Poulsen (Mærsk Olie & Gas). The very first chairman was John Lyng, and since then there has been 6 others counting todays chairman within. The first evaluation meeting took place in March 1983, followed by the first board meeting in May 1983. In September 1984 the first general assembly was held, and 145 members from 87 firms anticipated. In the club’s early years, there was rented some space at Smedekroen, which were used as a clubroom for the members for meetings and social events.

In 2017 the club changed its name from Esbjerg Petroleum Club to Esbjerg Petroleum & Renewables Club, because of the increasing interest of renewables. The theme of the club however has basically remained the same since the foundation with main focus on social events and event with technical presentations. However, the social events have varied over the years, and there have thus been many different kinds. Among some of the early events was curry night and dinner with Chinese food.

At the general assembly in March 2023, the club changed its name from Esbjerg Petroleum & Renewables Club to EnergiESbjerg in order to embrace the whole industry working to produce energy from natural resources.
