The realised liquids price for the quarter includes an NGL discount of USD 6.6
(4.7) per boe. This is higher than usual due to larger volumes of NGL sold in
the quarter and NGL trading at a discount to crude. USD 10.4 (10.4) per boe of
the realised gas price was attributable to gain on fixed price contracts.
Impairments
A net impairment income in the range of NOK 850 - 900 million is expected to be
recognised in the quarter.
The agreed terms of the announced sale of 15% WI in the Yme licence trigger a
reversal of previous impairments in the range of NOK 1,150 - 1,250 million. The
related post-tax effect is in the range of NOK 250 - 275 million.
The reversal relating to Yme was partly offset by technical goodwill impairments
of the Statfjord area and Ivar Aasen in the range of NOK 300 - 350 million. The
technical goodwill impairment was mainly a result of lower forward prices for
crude oil at balance sheet date. Technical goodwill arises as an offset to the
deferred tax recognised in business combinations and is not tax deductible.
