Aker BP's board has approved that the operator Aker BP will vote in favour of
submitting Plans for Development and Operation (PDO) for the NOAKA field
development project, the Valhall PWP-Fenris project, the Skarv Satellite Project
and the Utsira High projects.
The final approvals to submit the PDOs are expected to take place in the
respective licences during the first half of December, after which the PDOs will
be submitted to Norwegian authorities.
Net to Aker BP, the oil and gas resources in the projects are estimated to
approximately 730 million barrels of oil equivalent, in line with the company's
July strategy update when adjusting for the previously announced postponement of
the Wisting project.
Aker BP's share of the investments in the projects are estimated to
approximately USD 19 billion (nominal) in the period 2023-2028, and the
corresponding average break-even oil price is estimated to USD 35-40 per barrel
(calculated with 10 percent discount rate and accounting for the announced
changes to the Norwegian Petroleum Tax adding on average USD 5-6/bbl to the
break-even of the projects).
