Creating value the OKEA way
The Brage story
Unlocfiing value through a disciplined, opportunity-led field strategy
-
Extending field life through drilling
Disciplined well planning and rapid execution supporting production growth
New production wells brought on stream during OKEA operatorship have increased production nearly four times
-
Challenging status quo
Increasing oil export capacity on Brage to handle expected production increase
Pushing boundaries to expand catchment area and access to new resources; drilling of longest wells on the NCS directly from Brage platform
-
Maturing profitable volumes
Systematic evaluation of the Brage catchment area, focusing on low break-even boe
Unlocking Bestla and Talisker West resources for first oil in 2027 (e.g. Talisker West < 10 USD/boe)
-
Empowered and competent organisation
Delivering strong drilling execution and high production efficiency over time

Tax instalments due in the second half of 2026:

Dividends
The company is still in a period of relatively high spending on value accretive organic investments. In line with the company's first capital allocation principle of maintaining a healthy balance sheet, dividend payments have been temporarily put on hold during this period. High prices realised in the second quarter combined with good progress on the Bestla project and closing of the Mistral divestment, are positives in the company's dividend assessments. The company will revert with a dividend plan when it considers to be in a position to distribute.
*Capex guidance excludes capitalised interest and exploration spending
Summary
- Talisker West progressing with first production to Brage expected in the second half of 2027
- Production from Garn West South to Draugen expected in the third quarter
- Bestla and Draugen Power from Shore development projects on plan
- Solid balance sheet with a net cash positive position of USD 59 million
