Johan Sverdrup - phase 4 maturation

15 Jun 2026 09:37 CEST

Aker BP notes today's announcement by Equinor, operator of Johan Sverdrup,
regarding the maturation of a potential phase 4 development in the northern part
of the field.

Appraisal wells and sidetracks in the Tonjer and Geitungen areas have identified
additional resources, with a preliminary resource estimate of 20-30 million
barrels of oil equivalent. The resource base will be further clarified through
ongoing analysis.

The development concept under consideration is a subsea tie-back to existing
Johan Sverdrup infrastructure. This enables efficient development with low unit
costs, low emissions and a short lead time from investment decision to first
production.

The project is being further matured towards an investment decision, with a
potential production start in 2029.

The development is aligned with the partners' strategy to maximise value
creation from existing fields through increased utilisation of installed
capacity and phased development of adjacent resources.

Aker BP holds a 31.7 percent interest in Johan Sverdrup. The partnership
consists of Equinor (operator), Aker BP, Petoro and TotalEnergies.
