Consequences for Aker's oil and gas companies

Development of Norwegian jobs

  • The Government's proposal has little impact The Goverment's proposal has no impact

Large new developments have the greatest ripple effects

Example: Aker BP project portfolio

  • Some small-scale projects will benefit from the government's tax proposal
  • …while larger-scale projects see no upside as the government's proposal does not provide sufficient profitability improvement or realistic timelines due to limited tax changes and short deadlines compared to NorOg's proposal

Typical projects and suppliers expected with the Government's proposal: Production drilling, in-field drilling and smaller tie-ins performed by international drilling and service companies

• **One billion NOK invested creates about 1,000 full-time equivalents in the supplier industry and subcontractors

Typical projects and suppliers that can only be implemented with NorOg's proposal: Engineering services, project management, fabrication and installation performed by Norwegian and international companies and yards

  • The Government's proposal increases profitability by approx. USD 1 per barrel of oil, while NorOg's proposal increases profitability by an average of approx. USD 10 per barrel
  • May 2020 • NorOg's proposal gives a time effect to the oil companies by covering the state's share of the investments continuously. The time advantage is offset by interest. NorOg's proposal increases fiscal revenue for the state

Deadlines in the Government's proposal make larger developments impossible

  • Nearly all development work on new forward-looking solutions has been halted
  • Nearly all traning activity has been halted

  • Already reduced staffing in Norway from approx. 10,000 to approx. 6,000 as a result of COVID-19 and decline in oil price

  • Workforce in Norway will have to be significantly reduced by July 2021 without new projects
  • Subsea valve tree production is shut down in Norway, Tranby is scaled down from 2021
  • Production in Sandnessjøen will be closed from autumn 2020
  • Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen (Sandsli and Ågotnes), Kristiansund, Moss and Trondheim are downscaled due to reduced demand
