'Triggered lightning' has left staff unable to leave platforms near Denmark since November.
Hundreds of offshore workers could spend Christmas in the North Sea after weather conditions cancelled more than 50 helicopter flights.
A spokeswoman said: "Helicopter transports during wintertime around the North Sea are always challenging due to ice, fog, wind speeds and other factors. "Unfortunately, the phenomenon cannot be eliminated with de-icing systems, as has been mentioned in the media."The company, which runs the Tyra Redevelopment Project, said manned offshore installations were normally serviced by helicopters.
"We never compromise with the safety of our employees, neither on the platforms offshore nor during the transport back and forth between Esbjerg [Denmark] and the fields 250km out in the North Sea.
