Aker BP raises stake in Johan Sverdrup oil field after ownership review

Aker BP ASA has increased its ownership interest in the Johan Sverdrup oil field to 31.7163% from 31.5733% following a redetermination process based on updated technical and production data. This change will be reflected in Aker BP's accounts starting Q3 2026. The company will receive an additional 2.2 million barrels of oil equivalent over the next two years and will pay approximately NOK 300 million before tax due to the reallocation of historic investments. Operations at Johan Sverdrup, operated by Equinor, continue strongly without disruption.
