Comments from Karl Johnny Hersvik, CEO of Aker BP:

"Third quarter 2022 was the first quarter of the enlarged Aker BP, following the

completion of the Lundin transaction at the end of June. During the quarter we

have successfully integrated the two organisations. At the same time, we

maintained momentum in our operations and project development activities. Aker

BP is well underway towards our goal of becoming an industry-leading low cost,

low emissions company, positioned to deliver profitable growth into the next

decade."

"Aker BP has a unique resource base, and over the last couple of years we have

been working systematically to mature field development projects with combined

resources of around 900 mmboe net to Aker BP. This work is now nearing

completion, and we are currently aiming to submit PDOs for these projects by the

end of 2022, and hence qualify for the temporary tax rules which were introduced

in 2020."

"The world is characterised by geopolitical instability, inflation and

increasing interest rates, supply chain constraints and high volatility in

energy and commodity prices. In addition, the Norwegian government has proposed

a tightening of the temporary tax rules. Aker BP will take all these factors

into account before making final investment decisions."
