Production start-up in the Norwegian Sea! 😀 Today, we are celebrating start-up from the Lavrans well in the Kristin South project. Thank you Equinor (operator), Petoro and TotalEnergies for the strong alignment, commitment, and collaboration in the partnership! 🙌 🤝     This is indeed a brilliant example of how we create value by developing existing infrastructure on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. A new subsea template has been installed and tied into the Kristin platform in the Norwegian Sea – a cost efficient way to add production and extend the lifespan of fields in operations.     Expected production volumes are 58 million barrels of oil equivalent – adding more high value, low carbon barrels supporting our target to deliver between 350-400 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day from 2025 and beyond.      #energy #energysupply #oilandgas #vårenergi #preferredpartner #oneteam

How can artificial reefs at offshore wind farms help promote biodiversity? That is the very question we are looking to answer through testing artificial reefs in the Swedish Baltic Sea. We have installed artificial reefs in the form of eco-friendly reef cubes® at our Swedish Kårehamm offshore wind farm. Working together with our partners, these artificial structures will enable us to investigate how they can affect the marine ecosystem and can help create an attractive marine habitat, particularly for blue mussels, algae and fish species. After months of preparation, I am very excited to have reached this practical stage. This marks a significant step forward and is also a clear sign of our sustainability commitment. We understand our responsibility for operating offshore wind farms in harmony with nature and are committed to expanding our portfolio in an environmentally friendly way, having set ourselves ambitious sustainability goals. This pilot study is another marker on our way towards reaching them. I am now very much looking forward to seeing the results and how we can help take long-term sustainability for offshore wind farms to the next level.

📢Upstream International News 💯 Equinor Begins Production from Kristin South! Exciting news from Equinor and partners Petoro, Vår Energi , and TotalEnergies EP Norge! Production has commenced from the first Lavrans well in the Kristin South area as of 7 July, marking the first phase of the Kristin South project. The partnership submitted the development plan for Lavrans and Kristin Q as satellites to the Kristin field in 2021, with approval in 2022. A new subsea template has been installed and tied into the Kristin platform, now processing oil and gas from Lavrans. Gas will be exported to Europe, while oil will be transported via the Åsgard C storage vessel. Expected production for phase one is 6.2 GSm³ of gas and 1.9 MSm³ of oil, totaling 58.2 million barrels of oil equivalent. Impressively, the CO2 intensity is less than 1 kg of CO2 per barrel of oil equivalent.

Money may make the world go round – but its absence stamps the brakes on the energy transformation. Tuesday evening I had the opportunity to go and meet my friend professor Viktor Elliot at the #alumni event arranged by the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg and hosted at the London headquarters of Swedish 🇸🇪 banking giant Handelsbanken. Even the most conservative banker knows that the diesel engine is not the future. But without data on residual values, economic reuse of components such as batteries/motors/steel etc, they find it hard to make competitive financing packages today. This is true not just for buying the machines themselves, but also providing #venturecapital to fund the #innovative #startups that are required to fill the many gaps in the new ecosystem needed to make electric machines a success in practice. If we are going to accelerate our transition to a low carbon #electric future we need to start making sustainable financing a reality. #NetZero #SustainableFinance #Construction #VolvoCE

We are celebrating a new PPA: Alcoa’s aluminium smelter Lista in Farsund municipality will receive a total of 2.600 GWh from Statkraft over three years, starting in 2025. Why is this a reason to celebrate?   📈 High energy prices make it difficult for industrial companies to produce at competitive prices. ↕️ Fluctuating prices, as we have seen over the last years, increase uncertainty in the calculation of final product prices. ✅ Through our power purchase agreement, we fix a price at a competitive level and support Norwegian industry in their ability to plan and offer their products at competitive terms in the market – now and in the future.   This agreement is made possible, among other things, through a tax change that came into force this year in Norway. We as a producer are now able to offer shorter PPAs to power-intensive industry, where the resource rent tax is not based on the spot price, but on the contract price entered into.   I thank the team who made this possible: At Statkraft, Originators, Portfolio Managers, Risk Managers and many other front- and back-office functions work together to make these contracts become reality for our clients, and I am proud to be working with such innovative colleagues. You always put the customer first.   Now go and enjoy your summer holiday! 😊   Link to the press release (in Norwegian): https://lnkd.in/dyrpJRWu

What keeps you awake at nights? 💡For me it’s the increasing complexity of energy system and electricity markets and the uncertainity of their interdependencies. Once again it was refreshing and inspiring to meet up with energy-peers, old and new friends, in Stockholm at Forum organized by Optimeering ⚡️ I must say, there is something special in the Nordic co-operation🫶🏼 #greentransition #flexibility #powermarkets #automatedtrading

As we turn the page of the first quarter 2024, I’m pleased to share the key figures and strategic decisions that are shaping Aker in the long term. By the numbers in short term, Aker’s Net Asset Value stood at NOK 60.4 billion at the end of the quarter, a decrease from NOK 63.2 billion in the previous quarter. Despite this, Aker maintained robust operations and high activity across the portfolio. Important strategic initiatives are progressing as part of our active ownership agenda for long-term value creation. Two of the main events during the first quarter, were the completion of the refinancing of Solstad, and the agreement between Aker Carbon Capture and SLB to combine their respective carbon capture businesses in a new and stronger joint venture. Our commitment to long-term industrial development and shareholder value creation remains firm. However, moving forward our approach will be even more focused, concentrated on larger portfolio companies, prioritizing cash-yielding investments that contribute to increased and diversified upstream cash. The aim is both to increase our ability to seize value-adding investment opportunities and to ensure continued predictable dividends to shareholders in the years to come. For more insight and reflections on important issues and events in Aker, I invite you to read my shareholder letter, which is available on www.akerasa.com.

The focus on energy transition is growing, driven by large positive steps forward in global climate discussions and rapid technology development. At the same time we must remember that changing our huge and complex global energy system will inevitably take time and oil and gas will have a very important part to play in the energy mix for decades to come. To be competitive in an uncertain future, our industry's ability to increase efficiency, innovate, develop and make use of new technology is ever important.  Formerly known as the #PETROAFRICAEXPO & CONFERENCE  JUNE 25-28 EL KRAM EXPO CENTER , this major event main focus is sustainable energy #SOTULUB #sonalgaz #sonalgaz #agilenergy#stir #transfret #ETAP #NOC #Sonatrach#TotalEnergies #ExxonMobilMobil #BP #BG

Erős iparági álláspont: a status quo-t is újragondolva, határozottan kell lépni a hálózati rugalmassági piacok bevezetése érdekében! --- It shall be made sure that the new Network Code on Demand Response (and actually all distributed grid flexibility): • Does not protect the status quo, as it risks failing to achieve a lower cost energy system   • Recognises the urgency: Europe cannot afford to wait until 2029 for national terms and conditions.  • Firmly promotes market-based flexibility procurement first  • Is harmonised, interoperable and forward-looking Key industry associations of traders, storage, power exchanges, smart systems and large utilities are asking ENTSO-E, EDSO and ACER to act in timely manner to ensure realization of flexible grid operation all through the power system.
