Aker BP Notes Maturation Of Potential Phase 4 Development In Johan Sverdrup Field Aker BP noted the 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. Declared Dividend • May 10
First quarter dividend of kr6.13 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of kr6.13. Ex-date: 12th May 2026 Payment date: 21st May 2026 Dividend yield will be 7.6%, which is higher than the industry average of 6.7%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (281% earnings payout ratio) and the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has increased by an average of 14% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 212% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 62% over the next 3 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Reported Earnings • May 07

Aker BP Starts Oil Production from Symra Field in North Sea Aker BP has started oil production from the Symra field in the North Sea. The project has been delivered nine months ahead of original schedule, generating significant value and accelerating production start into 2026. The field is estimated to contribute approximately 63 million barrels of oil equivalent to the Eiga area. Symra is located approximately 7 km north-east of the Ivar Aasen platform and has been developed as the second subsea tie-back to Ivar Aasen. Production will be partially processed at Ivar Aasen before final processing at Edvard Grieg. The development comprises four wells tied back via a subsea template. Modifications have been carried out on both platforms to enable tie-in of the subsea infrastructure to Ivar Aasen and to increase processing capacity at Edvard Grieg. The development has been carried out in close collaboration with several leading suppliers. TechnipFMC has delivered the subsea systems. Moreld Apply has carried out modifications on the Edvard Grieg platform, while Aibel has performed the modifications on the Ivar Aasen platform. Drilling operations have been undertaken by Odfjell Drilling and Halliburton through Aker BP's drilling and wells alliance. Together, these suppliers have contributed to the safe, efficient and high-quality execution of the project. Symra is the sixth Aker BP-operated project sanctioned in 2022 to come on stream. Aker BP is the operator of Symra (PL167/167B/167C) with partners Equinor (30 percent) and DNO Norge (20 percent). Reported Earnings • Mar 29

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. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Oct 26

New minor risk - Financial position The company has a high level of debt. Net debt to equity ratio: 43% This is considered a minor risk. Having a high level of debt increases the company's balance sheet risk. The company has a higher interest repayment burden, leading to the need to allocate a greater amount of its earnings towards servicing the debt, potentially limiting growth options or shareholder distributions. It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 187% Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Minor Risks High level of debt (43% net debt to equity).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.0% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns.

Aker BP ASA Announces Production Start from Hanz in the North Sea Aker BP announced that production has started from Hanz in the North Sea. Hanz is operated by Aker BP, with Equinor and Sval Energy as partners. Hanz is a subsea field development tied into the Ivar Aasen platform about fifteen kilometres further south. Total investments are estimated at close to NOK 5 billion and total reserves are around 20 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe). Unique re-use of infrastructure and use of a cross-flow well: Hanz was discovered in 1997. After the delivery of the Plan for development and operation (PDO) for the Ivar Aasen area, which included the Hanz development, the project matured an optimised development solution by re-using subsea production systems (SPS) from the Jette field. It is the first time that production equipment has been re-used in a new field development on the NCS. In addition, the strategy for how the oil and gas is to be recovered was changed to include use of a cross-flow well for water injection. This results in a substantial reduction of power consumption, less use of chemicals and less equipment on the seabed. The change in the development solution for Hanz since the original PDO was submitted led the partnership to send a formal statement regarding the investment decision and the selected concept to the authorities in December 2021. Minimised CO2 emissions: The Ivar Aasen field is located on the Utsira High in the northern part of the North Sea, around 175 km west of Karmøy.
