Aker BP reports second quarter 2025 results

15 Jul 2025 06:00 CEST

Aker BP delivered strong operational performance in the second quarter of 2025,
marked by high production efficiency, low costs, and industry-leading low
emissions intensity. While production declined compared to the previous quarter
due to planned maintenance activities, the company's field development projects
remain firmly on track to support production growth from 2027. In addition, a
new oil discovery has been made in the Yggdrasil area. Backed by solid operating
cash flow and a robust balance sheet, Aker BP is well positioned to navigate
market volatility and continue delivering resilient dividends to its
shareholders.

Highlights

· Strong operational performance: Oil and gas production averaged 415 mboepd
(441 mboepd in Q1), impacted by planned maintenance. Full-year production
guidance has been revised upwards to 400-420 mboepd (from 390-420).
· Low cost: Production cost amounted to USD 7.3 per boe (USD 6.5 in Q1).
· Low emissions intensity: Greenhouse gas emission intensity remained at 2.8
kg CO2e per boe (scope 1 & 2), among the lowest in the global oil and gas
industry.
· Projects on track: Field development projects are progressing on schedule -
investment estimates revised upwards by approximately six percent reflecting
updated assumptions for inflation, labour costs, and currency effects.
· Exploration success: Oil discovery confirmed in the ongoing Omega Alfa well
in the Yggdrasil area.
· Financial results: Total income of USD 2.6 billion (USD 3.2 billion in Q1)
and cash flow from operations of USD 1.2 billion (USD 2.1 billion in Q1).
· Resilient dividends: Dividends of USD 0.63 per share paid in the quarter -
on track to deliver USD 2.52 per share for the full year.

resilience of our operations."

market volatility with confidence - while continuing to deliver attractive and
resilient dividends to our shareholders."
