A goodwill impairment on the Statfjord assets in the range of NOK 220 - 280 million was recognised in the quarter. The goodwill impairment was mainly a result of lower expected production in 2024 due to dry wells drilled in late 2023. Goodwill impairments are not tax deductible.
Partly offsetting the goodwill impairment, was NOK 90-110 million in reversal of previous impairments at the Yme asset following positive market price developments of crude during the quarter combined with a decrease in expected discount for Yme crude.
The information contained in this statement is based on a preliminary assessment of the company's first quarter 2024 financial and operational results and may be subject to change.
OKEA will release its first quarter 2024 results on Thursday 25 April at 06:00 CET. A presentation of the results will be held on the same day through a webcast and audioconference starting 10:00 CET (Link to webcast). The presentation will be held by Svein J. Liknes (CEO) and Birte Norheim (CFO).
