Vår Energi announces reserves plus resources of approximately 2 billion boe

Sandnes, Norway, 8 February 2024: Vår Energi ASA (OSE: VAR) releases the

Company's Annual Statement of Reserves for 2023 with proved plus probable (2P)

reserves plus contingent resources (2C) for the combined Vår Energi ASA and

Neptune Energy Norge AS (renamed to Vår Energi Norge AS) portfolio of

approximately 2 billion barrels¹ of oil equivalent (boe).

"We are pleased to have completed the acquisition of Neptune Energy Norge on 31

January 2024. The deal adds scale, diversification, and longevity to Vår

Energi's portfolio while strengthening the Company's position in existing hub

areas. Vår Energi is the second largest independent E&P on the Norwegian

Continental Shelf and as a combined Company we have around 2 billion boe of

reserves plus resources, which is a strong foundation for long-term growth and

sustained value creation" says CEO, Nick Walker.

2023 was characterised by solid production within the guided range, with several

projects coming on-stream, portfolio optimisation, and continuous initiatives to

increase recovery from producing fields by drilling additional infill wells.

Total 2P reserves as of 31 December 2023 are 1,241 million boe (mmboe)¹.

In addition, a significant volume of 2C resources represents a major part of Vår

Energi's future strategy to sustain production and create value. As of 31

December 2023, total 2C resources are approximately 745 mmboe¹. The Company is

actively de-risking and progressing these resources into new development

projects.

The year-end 2023 pro-forma 2P reserves and 2C resources represent an

approximate measure of the performance of the combined Vår Energi ASA and Vår

Energi Norge AS. The evaluation of Vår Energi's developed and undeveloped

reserves comply with the Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS).

International petroleum consultants DeGolyer and MacNaughton carried out the

PRMS assessment as of 31 December 2023 for Vår Energi's assets. The Vår Energi

Norge AS PRMS assessment was performed by ERC Equipoise Limited.
