Dette er en milepæl for Aker BP. Produksjonen fra dette enorme oljefeltet vil
være en viktig bidragsyter til Aker BPs produksjons- og inntjeningsvekst i årene
som kommer, sier Karl Johnny Hersvik, administrerende direktør i Aker BP.

Vi er særdeles fornøyd med arbeidet som operatøren har gjennomført på vegne av
partnerskapet i utviklingen av feltet. Johan Sverdrup representerer enorm
verdiskaping for Aker BP og de andre partnerne, så vel som for det norske
samfunnet, sier Hersvik.

Johan Sverdrup har utvinnbare reserver på 2,7 milliarder fat oljeekvivalenter og
vil på det meste produsere opptil 660 000 fat olje per dag. Feltet drives med
strøm fra land og har rekordlave CO2-utslipp; godt under 1 kg per fat.
Balanseprisen er under 20 dollar per fat, og feltet vil på platå ha
produksjonskostnader under 2 dollar per fat.

Johan Sverdrup-feltet utvikles i to faser. Fase II av Johan Sverdrup-utbyggingen
ble godkjent av norske myndigheter i mai 2019, og har en forventet
produksjonsstart i 4. kvartal 2022.

Johan Sverdrup-partnerskapet består av operatøren Equinor, og partnerne Lundin
Norge, Petoro, Aker BP og Total. Aker BPs eierandel i feltet er på 11,57
prosent.

AKERBP: Update on third quarter 2019 financial results

Aker BP will publish its financial report for the third quarter 2019 on Tuesday
22 October 2019. The company issues this statement to summarise its production
and sales volumes and certain accounting-related topics for the quarter.
…

Vis børsmeldingen

Oil and gas production and sales
Aker BP’s net production in the third quarter 2019 was 146.1 thousand barrels of
oil equivalents per day (“mboepd”). The production volumes were below plan
mainly due to delayed stimulation and consequently start of production from new
wells at Valhall following the planned maintenance shutdown in June. The delay
has no impact on reserves. The start-up of new wells at Valhall, and the ramp-up
of the Johan Sverdrup field which started production in early October, are
expected to contribute to significant production growth over the coming
quarters.

Net sold volumes, which are the basis for revenue recognition in the financial
statement, were 143.3 mboepd, reflecting 2.9 mboepd in underlift. Production
volumes per field are specified below. The volumes are subject to final re
-allocation.

Of which liquids 113.4 112.8 117.6
Of which natural gas 29.8 27.9 30.7

Operating expenses
As described in the second quarter 2019 report, the company in June discovered a
failure in the tether frame connections on one of the Mid Water Assemblies
(“MWA”) at Alvheim. In the third quarter, costs related to repairs amounted to
approximately USD 14 million net to Aker BP. These costs will be recorded as
production costs in the third quarter, with any related insurance recoveries to
be recognised in future periods.

Impairment of technical goodwill
The company expects to make an impairment charge in the third quarter 2019 of
approximately USD 80 million related to technical goodwill. There is no deferred
tax associated with technical goodwill, hence this charge will not be tax
deductible.

Tax
The effective tax rate for the third quarter is expected to be impacted by
impairment of technical goodwill and an increase in deferred tax primarily
driven by currency movements (stronger USD versus NOK). As a result, the
effective tax rate is expected to be well above 100 percent for the quarter. The
tax payments during the quarter were USD 106 million, in line with previous
guidance.

Disclaimer
The information in this statement is based on a preliminary assessment of the
company’s third quarter 2019 financial results. The company has not completed
its financial reporting and related review and control procedures. The estimates
provided may therefore be subject to change and the financial statements finally
approved and released by the company may deviate materially from the information
herein.

Third quarter 2019 results

Aker BP delivered strong operational performance and exploration success during
the third quarter. The company’s field developments progressed as planned,
paving the way for a significant increase in production in the coming months.
…

Vis børsmeldingen

Johan Sverdrup was brought on stream early October, and Valhall Flank West
remains on track for first oil later this year. The company paid a dividend of
USD 187.5 million (USD 0.52 per share) in the quarter.

Aker BP reported total income of USD 723 (785) million and operating profit of
USD 196 (354) million for the third quarter 2019. Net loss was USD 43 million,
compared to a net profit of USD 62 million in the previous quarter.

The company’s net production in the third quarter was 146.1 (127.3) thousand
barrels of oil equivalents per day (“mboepd”). Net sold volume was 143.3 (140.7)
mboepd. The production volumes were below plan mainly due to delays in the
stimulation program at Valhall following the planned maintenance shutdown in
June. Average realized liquids price was USD 62.0 (69.3) per barrel, while the
realized price for natural gas averaged USD 0.16 (0.16) per standard cubic metre
(“scm”).

Production costs for the oil and gas sold in the quarter amounted to USD 167
(198) million. Production cost per produced unit in the quarter amounted to USD
13.2 (15.4) per boe, negatively impacted by the costs of approximately USD 14
million related to an incident with the Mid Water Arch (MWA) at Alvheim. Any
related insurance recoveries will be recognized in future periods.

Exploration expenses amounted to USD 70 (60) million. Total cash spend on
exploration was USD 144 (119) million. The company completed six exploration
wells in the quarter, of which the Liatårnet and Ørn wells were classified as
discoveries. The Shrek well was completed and classified as a discovery after
the end of the quarter.

Depreciation amounted to USD 206 (168) million, equivalent to USD 15.3 (14.5)
per produced boe. Impairments amounted to USD 78 (0) million related to
technical goodwill on Ula/Tambar, mainly triggered by decreased near-term oil
and gas prices and updated cost and production profiles.

Profit before taxes amounted to USD 143 (268) million. Tax expense was USD 186
(206) million, representing an effective tax rate of 130 (77) percent. The tax
rate was negatively impacted by impairment of technical goodwill with no tax
impact, and an increase in deferred tax primarily driven by currency movements.
Overall, the company reported a net loss of USD 43 million for the quarter.

Investments in fixed assets amounted to USD 435 (414) million in the third
quarter. All field development projects, including Johan Sverdrup, Valhall Flank
West and Ærfugl progressed according to plan. Abandonment expenditures in the
quarter were USD 35 (40) million.

Net interest-bearing debt was USD 3.3 (2.9) billion at the end of the quarter,
including USD 0.3 billion in lease debt. Total available liquidity at the end of
the quarter was USD 2.9 (3.3) billion.

In August, the company paid a quarterly dividend of USD 0.5207 (NOK 4.44) per
share. The Board has resolved to pay a quarterly dividend of USD 187.5 million
(USD 0.5207 per share) in November 2019, implying total annual dividends of USD
750 million.

DETNOR02: Distribution event notice

To the bondholders in the Det norske oljeselskap ASA 13/20 FRN (ISIN NO 001068414.5) (the “Bond Issue”) issued by Aker BP ASA (the “Issuer”) pursuant to the bond agreement originally dated 1 July 2013 and as amended and restated from time to time (the “Bond Agreement”).

All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Bond Agreement.

On 8 November 2019 (the “Distribution Event Date”), the Issuer made a distribution to its shareholders in the aggregate amount of NOK 1,705,648,826. This notice constitutes a Distribution Event Notice as defined in the loan agreement.

The maximum aggregated number of Bonds to be repurchased by the Issuer is equal to 1,705,648,826 divided by the Face Value, being 1,705,648,826 (the “Distribution Put Bonds”).

As a consequence of this dividend payment, each Bondholder may require the Issuer to acquire Bonds at a price of 107% of par plus accrued interest, up to its pro rata share of 1,705,648,826 based on the proportion that such Bondholder’s holding of Bonds as of the Distribution Event Date (less Bonds owned directly by the Issuer) bear to the Distribution Put Bonds. The Issuer holds NOK 7,690,568 nominal worth of DETNOR02.

The Leverage Ratio as shown in the latest Compliance Certificate is 1.18x.

The Distribution Put Option must be exercised by each Bondholder within 22 November 2019. Detailed information on how to exercise the Distribution Put Option, including each Bondholder’s pro rata proportion of the Distribution Put Bonds, will promptly be forwarded to all Bondholders as registered in the Securities Depository (VPS) through the systems of VPS (the “VPS Notice”).

Full speed ahead for Ærfugl Phase 2

The Ærfugl partners have decided to proceed with Phase 2 of the Ærfugl project
in the Norwegian Sea, three years ahead of the original plan. The Ærfugl field,
which produces via Skarv FPSO, is one of the most profitable development
…

projects on the Norwegian shelf with a break-even price of around USD 15 per
barrel (converted from gas).

Operator Aker BP and partners Equinor, Wintershall DEA and PGNiG approved the
final investment decision (DG3) for Ærfugl Phase 2 in early November. The goal
is to start production from the first Phase 2 well as early as in first half of
2020. This means that production start-up for phase 2 will come before the start
-up of Ærfugl phase 1.

“Acceleration of Ærfugl Phase 2 means earlier production and increased value
creation from the field. This is good news for the Ærfugl joint venture, the
supplier industry and the Norwegian society in the form of increased revenues”,
says Kjetel Digre, SVP Operations & Asset Development in Aker BP.

Accelerated production

The Ærfugl development is a major subsea project in two phases. Both phases are
tied into the existing production vessel (FPSO) on the Skarv field, which is
located approx. 210 km west of Sandnessjøen.

The Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) for both phases of the Ærfugl
development was submitted to the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy in December
2017.

Phase 1, which develops the southern part of the Ærfugl field, consists of three
new wells. Phase 2 consists of an additional three wells in the northern part of
the field. The original plan for start-up of Phase 2 was 2023, due to capacity
restrictions for processing gas on the Skarv FPSO.

“In parallel with development of Ærfugl Phase 1, work has been proceeding to
increase gas processing capacity on Skarv. Modification of the plant will
contribute to an increased capacity by more than 15%,” says VP Operations Skarv,
Ine Dolve.

“We have as well optimized the phase 2 scope and will use existing
infrastructure on Skarv for the first “phase 2 well”. Overall, this means that
we are now ready to proceed with developing Phase 2,” she says and adds that
production from Ærfugl will help extend the lifetime of Skarv FPSO.

Great deliveries from the Alliances

Reorganizing the value chain through strategic partnerships and alliances is an
important part of Aker BP’s strategy. The alliances in subsea installation,
modifications and drilling & wells have contributed to the Ærfugl project.

“The Subsea alliance between Aker BP, Subsea 7 and Aker Solutions has
demonstrated substantial improvements and increased value creation over several
years. Now we see excellent deliveries from the alliances for the Ærfugl
development. This fall, the Phase 1 production system, including three large
subsea structures, was installed. The work has been done according to plan,
without serious incidents. We are well-positioned to start production for phase
1 in the fourth quarter of 2020,” says Bård Atle Hovd, project director for
Skarv.

“Being able to accelerate the development and production start-up of phase 2 is
another manifestation of how these partnerships enable us to increase the value
creation and to deliver in line with our ambitious improvement agenda,” Hovd
adds.

The Ærfugl project is as well characterized by development of new technology, in
line with Aker BP’s ambition to be a technology leader in the industry. The
vertical valve trees and electrically heated pipelines used for the Ærfugl
development are the first of their kind in the world.

Good profitability

The Ærfugl reservoir is mainly a gas reservoir that extends over 60 km and is 2
-3 km wide. The project holds a total of around 300 million barrels of oil
equivalent.

Total investment costs for the Ærfugl project are around NOK 8 billion.

The total ‘life of field’ project has a break-even-price of around USD 15 per
barrel (converted from gas). This makes the field development one of the most
profitable being implemented on the Norwegian shelf.

The Ærfugl project has brought significant local ripple effects, and the Phase 2
project will bring additional opportunities for assignments for local suppliers
in the Helgeland region.
