Aker BP produced an average of 374.3 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (mboepd) in the third quarter of 2026, down from 383.6 mboepd in the second quarter. The company sold more than it produced. Because of overlift, net volume sold came to 395.7 mboepd.
The figures are preliminary. Aker BP will publish its full third-quarter report on 29 October 2026.
Production and sales
Equity production fell by 9.3 mboepd from the previous quarter. Overlift was 21.4 mboepd in the third quarter, against an underlift of 8.0 mboepd in the second. That swing is why net volume sold rose by 20.0 mboepd, from 375.7 to 395.7, while production fell.
Liquids made up 343.3 mboepd of the volume sold, up from 322.1 mboepd. Natural gas accounted for 52.4 mboepd, down slightly from 53.5.
Realized prices
The liquids price moved down and the gas price moved up sharply. Realized liquids prices averaged $100.6 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe), compared with $107.9 in the second quarter. Realized gas prices averaged $123.3 per boe, compared with $88.4.
