Financial position

In June, OKEA distributed cash dividends of NOK 104 million to its shareholders (NOK 1.00 per share). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter amounted to NOK 2,335 (1,634) million and interest-bearing bonds debt amounted to NOK 1,293 (1,255) million.

Realised prices

The average realised liquids price was USD 70.1 per boe and the average realised price for gas was USD 81.2 per boe. A value equivalent to USD 23.3 per boe of the realised gas price in the quarter was attributable to gain on fixed price contracts.

Impairment of the Yme asset

As Yme is carried at fair value, any adjustments to asset performance and/or macro assumptions results in impairments or reversal of previous impairments. Mainly due to adverse developments in expected realised prices during the quarter, estimated impairment charge on the Yme asset amounted to NOK 250 – 350 million (NOK 55 – 75 million after tax).

2023 guiding

Production and capex guidance for 2023 remain unchanged with production at 22,000-25,000 boepd and capex at NOK 1,700-2,100 million. Capex guidance excludes capitalised interest and exploration capex and both production and capex guiding exclude effects relating to the Statfjord transaction.

Expected additional production to OKEA from Statfjord for 2023 has been adjusted to 11,000 – 13,000 boepd from 13,000 – 15,000 boepd. The adjustment mainly relates to reduced production efficiency and unforeseen events such as prolonged turn-around at Statfjord C and unplanned shutdown at Statfjord A. The operator continues efforts to improve the production efficiency and the production forecast from Statfjord for 2024 remains unchanged at 16,000 – 20,000 boepd net to OKEA.
