Comment from Karl Johnny Hersvik, CEO of Aker BP

"Aker BP delivered strong operational and financial performance in the first quarter of 2024. Our oil and gas production increased while we maintained low costs and kept emissions in check.

Our field development projects are on track, and construction activity is ramping up at multiple sites in Norway and abroad. The Hanz project has been completed, and production started a few days ago. Meanwhile, the Tyrving development is progressing towards an accelerated start-up in the fourth quarter.

We are pleased to report another quarter marked by robust cash flow and a strong financial position, which further underpins the ongoing investments in our profitable projects and attractive dividends to our shareholders."
