- Third-quarter production reached 374 mboepd after planned maintenance.

Aker BP reported strong third-quarter results on Thursday, October 29, 2026, as higher sold volumes and realized prices supported earnings and cash generation. The company said its Yggdrasil and Valhall PWP-Fenris developments remain on track for first production next summer. The results were published in an Aker BP press release.
Strong quarter, mixed operating signals
Net production averaged 374 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day in the quarter, reflecting planned maintenance. Net sold volumes rose five percent from the previous quarter to 396 mboepd, while EBITDA reached USD 3.4 billion and cash flow from operations totaled USD 2.4 billion.
Net profit was USD 986 million, or USD 1.56 per share. The result included a positive after-tax effect of USD 262 million from an impairment reversal, so the reported profit should be read alongside the underlying operating performance rather than as a pure measure of recurring earnings.
Projects set the next milestones
Aker BP reiterated full-year production guidance of 380 to 400 mboepd. The company said the Hugin B, Munin and Valhall PWP topsides had been installed, while all major subsea components at Yggdrasil were in place and offshore hook-up and commissioning were under way.
The Skarv Satellites project started production in late August, almost a year ahead of its original schedule. A quarterly dividend of USD 0.6615 per share is payable on or about November 12, 2026, giving income-focused investors a near-term corporate date to watch.
Norwegian shelf producer
Aker BP explores for, develops and produces oil and gas on the Norwegian continental shelf. Its operated field centers include Valhall, Ula, Edvard Grieg/Ivar Aasen, Alvheim and Skarv, and it is a partner in Johan Sverdrup. The company describes itself as one of Europe's largest independent oil companies by production, with a portfolio concentrated on the Norwegian shelf.
