Success in fighting decline - Hasselmus on-stream in Q4'23; Power from Shore facilitating longer-term value creation

1) Brage and Draugen production efficiency under previous operator calculated as average of last four years prior to transfer of operatorship. OKEA calculated as average from year of assumed operatorship through 2024

2) 2P/2C year-end 2024 (source: ASR 2024) + production in 2023-2024 for Brage, and 2019-2024 for Draugen

3) Expected lifetime based on reserves (2P) as assessed by the respective operators

Development projects

  • > Positioning Draugen for the future: low CO2 emissions and reduced cost extend economic lifetime

  • > Offshore construction currently ramping up to full capacity, expected ongoing into 2027
  • > Construction of onshore facilities progressing according to plan

  • > Tie-back to Brage with substantial volumes and attractive economics
  • > Facilitating lifetime extension; enabling potential value from future projects
  • > Progressing according to plan. Installation of subsea template and deck modules scheduled to commence in Q2 2025
  • > Preparations for drilling in Q3 2025 on track
