Aker BP and Equinor Announce New Discovery Aker BP and operator Equinor have made a significant gas and condensate discovery in the Lofn and Langemann wells in the Sleipner area of the North Sea. Gross recoverable volumes are estimated at 30 to 110 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe). Lofn and Langem Ann - significant discovery near existing infrastructure. The wells 15/5-8 S (Lofn) and 15/5-8 A (Langemann) were drilled by the Deepsea Atlantic rig in production license PL1140, approx. 40 km northwest of Sleipner A and between the Gudrun and Eirin fields. Both wells encountered gas and condensate in the Hugin formation, which consists of high-quality sandstone reservoirs. The wells are classified as HPHT (high pressure, high temperature) and have been permanently plugged and abandoned after extensive data collection. License PL1140 was awarded in 2022 through the APA (Awards in Predefined Areas) licensing round. Aker BP holds 40% interest in the licence, which is operated by Equinor. The partnership will now evaluate development options that leverage existing infrastructure for efficient and low-emission production. In August, Aker BP successfully completed the Omega Alfa exploration campaign in the Norwegian North Sea, resulting in a large oil discovery with recoverable volumes estimated at 96 to 134 mmboe. Aker BP has between 38 and 48% ownership in the three licenses. Omega Alfa is among the commercial discoveries in Norway in a decade. Building on the momentum from East Frigg in 2023, Omega Alfa underscores how innovative exploration methods deliver results and push boundaries. The discoveries mark a major step toward Aker BP's ambition of producing more than one billion barrels from the Yggdrasil area. In the first quarter, the partnership made an oil and gas discovery at Kjottkake in licence PL1182S in the Northern North Sea. The reservoir shows good quality, with recoverable volumes estimated at 39 to 75 mmboe located near existing infrastructure in the Troll-Gjoa area. Through a transaction with Japex announced in July this year, Aker BP increased its ownership in Kjottkake to 45%. In November, Aker BP and DNO entered into an agreement to transfer the operatorship to Aker BP in the development phase. This will enable the company to leverage on its fast-track development capabilities for efficient project execution. Aker BP and the partnership are already evaluating development solutions with first oil now targeted in 2028. お知らせ • Nov 27

Equinor ASA Unveils New Power Business Area, a Strategic Realignment to Merge its Broad Renewables Portfolio with Flexible Power Assets Equinor ASA is set to launch a new Power business area, a strategic realignment designed to seamlessly merge its broad Renewables portfolio with flexible power assets previously housed under Marketing, Midstream and Processing (MMP). This initiative comes as a direct response to the growing electricity demand driven by the electrification of society, the expansion of artificial intelligence, and increased data center operations. Over the past two decades, Equinor has built a robust renewables business with extensive offshore and onshore wind and solar projects, while also investing in gas-to-power plants and energy storage assets to counter the variability of renewable energy. With enhanced trading capabilities, the combined portfolio is expected to support higher value creation and ensure reliable power generation in an increasingly dynamic market. Under this new organizational structure, the existing Renewables (REN) division will be integrated with select flexible power assets from MMP into the newly formed Power (PWR) business area, providing a holistic approach to energy supply and market efficiency. Meanwhile, the gas and power trading operations will remain within the MMP division, with adjustments in segment reporting to be evaluated during the transition. This comprehensive restructuring is set to fortify Equinor’s position in the power markets, ensuring the company meets rising global demand for reliable and sustainable energy while continuing to drive innovation and profitable growth. お知らせ • Mar 19

Exxon Mobil, Shell Reportedly to Weigh Bids for Galp Namibia Stake Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) and Shell plc (LSE:SHEL) are among energy giants evaluating bids for a stake in Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. (ENXTLS:GALP)’s major oil field offshore Namibia, according to people familiar with the matter. TotalEnergies SE (ENXTPA:TTE) and Equinor ASA (OB:EQNR) are also among those considering acquiring the 40% stake Galp is seeking to sell in the Mopane discovery, said the people, asking not to be identified as the matter is private. Based on Galp’s recent “in place” estimates for 10 billion barrels of oil equivalent in the Mopane complex, the entire discovery could be worth around USD 20 billion, or potentially more, some of the people said. The Portuguese firm said in an April filing that the oil estimate is before drilling additional exploration and appraisal wells. Galp, which is working with a financial adviser to sell half of its 80% holding in the asset, has called for first round bids in mid-June, according to the people. Shares of Galp were up 2.8% at 3:14 p.m. May 21, 2024 in Lisbon, putting it on track for the biggest daily gain in about a month and giving the company a market value of €15.2 billion ($16.5 billion). Deliberations are in the early stages and other bidders could emerge, while the Lisbon-based company could also decide to retain the stake if it cannot reach a final agreement with any of the parties, the people said. Representatives for Galp, Shell, Exxon, Equinor and TotalEnergies declined to comment. Galp shares jumped 21% after the company said in April that a well test “potentially” indicated Mopane could be an important commercial find in Namibia following the completion of the first phase of its exploration. The “in place” estimates for 10 billion barrels of oil equivalent are the first in a series of tests to determine how much oil the discovery contains and is recoverable. Declared Dividend • May 16

Equinor, RWE Reportedly to Place Joint Bid in Norwegian Offshore Tender Norwegian oil and gas group Equinor ASA (OB:EQNR) intends to take part in the bidding for Norway's Sorlige Nordsjo II area that could host up to 1.5 GW of offshore wind turbine capacity, according to a Reuters report. The bid will come from a partnership between Equinor and German energy major RWE AG (XTRA:RWE), the Norwegian group's CEO Anders Opedal has said on the sidelines of its third-quarter earnings presentation. Potentially, Soerlige Nordsjoe II could become home to wind farms with a combined capacity of between 1.4 GW and 1.5 GW. Bidding for the zone was initiated in March together with a tender for the Utsira Nord offshore wind area, which is temporarily on hold. Once completed, the two tenders will pave the way for the construction of the first large offshore wind parks in Norwegian waters. State support for the development of Soerlige Nordsjoe II stands at NOK 23 billion (USD 2.05 billion /EUR 1.94 billion). The level of financing was extended this summer in order to mitigate the effects of rising inflation and increased supply chain costs. The competition will be open for submissions by November 15, 2023 following a recent revision of the bidding deadline. お知らせ • Oct 28
