OKEA ASA - Annual reports 2019

OKEA ASA ("OKEA" or the "company") has today published the Annual Report for
2019, the 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report and the
Annual Statement of Reserves and Resources for 2019.

During 2019, the company firmly established itself as a prudent operator on the
Norwegian Continental Shelf. In OKEA, safety always comes first, and the company
successfully transferred the operatorship on Draugen and operated the asset
throughout 2019 with no serious incidents and no harm. Production availability
at Draugen was achieved at record levels and several integrity maintenance
projects were successfully executed ahead of time and below budget. OKEA's first
operated drilling campaign was executed efficiently and safely below budget and
with no reportable incidents. The wells provided important data which will be
fully integrated with the current reservoir models to further understand the
hydrocarbon potential of the greater Draugen area and maximise the economic
recovery of resources.

Production from Draugen, together with the non-operated production from Gjøa and
Ivar Aasen, resulted in a net production of 18,633 boepd during 2019, which
generated a substantial cashflow from operations of NOK 2,111 million.

The company also publishes a separate report on Corporate Social Responsibility
and Sustainability for the first time for 2019. OKEA's work on ESG-topics is
structured around three main pillars in the company's business; prudent
operator, safe and efficient operations and commitment to our people.

At the end of 2019 OKEA had 2P reserves of 49.5 mmboe and proven reserves (1P)
of 40.6 mmboe. Increased reserves from sanctioning of the Gjøa P1 project and
other revisions were offset by the company's oil and gas production during the
year. The 2C contingent resources of 32.6 mmboe are the net result of increased
resources on Draugen and reductions through sanctioning of the Gjøa P1 project
and changes in working interest on the Grevling and Storskrymten licences.
