Event Summary

Aker BP and its partners completed the redetermination process for the Johan Sverdrup Unit, initiated in January 2025. This process, based on updated technical and production data, resulted in an increase of Aker BP's ownership interest from 31.5733 percent to 31.7163 percent. As a consequence, Aker BP will receive an additional 2.2 million barrels of oil equivalent over the next two years due to reallocation of historic production volumes. The company will also pay approximately 300 million Norway — Norwegian krone before tax for reallocated historic investments. The revised ownership interest will be reflected in Aker BP's accounts from the third quarter of 2026. The redetermination does not affect ongoing operations at the Johan Sverdrup field, which is operated by Equinor and is a significant oil field on the Norway — Norwegian continental shelf.
