Aker BP delivered another strong quarter in Q3 2025, demonstrating operational
excellence, disciplined cost control, and continued progress on key growth
projects. Production remained stable, supported by high uptime and safe
execution across the portfolio. The company achieved a major milestone with the
Omega Alfa oil discovery in the Yggdrasil area - one of the largest on the
Norwegian Continental Shelf in the past decade. Aker BP's robust financial
position and resilient cash flow underpin its commitment to shareholder returns
while enabling continued investment in future growth.
Highlights

Q2), with high production efficiency and minimal unplanned downtime. Full-year
production guidance has been raised to 410-425 mboepd (previously 400-410
mboepd).
· Cost discipline: Production cost was USD 7.6 per boe (USD 7.3 in Q2),

per boe (scope 1 & 2).
· Project delivery: Major field developments - including Yggdrasil, Valhall
PWP-Fenris, Skarv Satellites, and Utsira High - advanced on schedule, with all
key construction and drilling milestones reached.
· Exploration breakthrough: The Omega Alfa campaign delivered a significant
oil discovery in the Yggdrasil area, estimated at 96-134 mmboe recoverable.
· Solid financials: Total income was USD 2.6 billion (USD 2.6 billion in Q2),
with cash flow from operations of USD 2.0 billion (USD 1.2 billion in Q2).

quarter, keeping Aker BP on track for USD 2.52 per share for the year.
Comment from Karl Johnny Hersvik, CEO of Aker BP:
"In the third quarter, we continued to demonstrate stable and efficient
operations across a diverse portfolio. Our growth projects progressed as
planned, while our teams maintained high uptime, a strong safety record, and
industry-leading low emissions."
"The Omega Alfa discovery was a clear highlight this quarter. As one of the
largest oil finds on the Norwegian Continental Shelf in the past decade, it
underscores the strength of our exploration strategy and our collaborative
approach with partners. The discovery significantly expands the resource base
for Yggdrasil and supports our ambition to grow production well into the next
decade."
"Our financial position remains robust. Strong cash flow and disciplined capital
allocation enable continued investment in future growth, advancement of major
development projects, and delivery of attractive, resilient dividends to our
shareholders."
