Sandnes, Norway 30 August 2024: Vår Energi ASA (OSE: VAR) completes the sale of
its Norne area field interests to DNO Norge AS for a fixed after-tax
consideration of USD 51 million. The Norne area is located in the Norwegian Sea
and the transaction include interests in the Norne (6.9%), Urd (11.5%), Skuld
(11.5%) and Marulk (20%) fields and the Verdande (10.49%) development project.
As part of the transaction DNO Norge has assigned to Vår Energi their 22.62%
interest in the Ringhorne East unit, taking Vår Energi's interest to 92.6%.
The transaction with DNO Norge is in line with Vår Energi's stated strategy to
dispose of non-core assets to high grade the portfolio, supporting further
growth and long-term value creation in the Company's core hub areas. The
assigned assets are late life, and the transaction will improve Vår Energi's
unit operating costs and emissions intensity outlook. DNO will assume the
associated decommissioning liabilities for the Norne area field interests.
Vår Energi's net production from the Norne area fields was approximately three
thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day the first half of 2024. Net remaining
proved plus probable (2P) reserves for the fields is 7 million barrels of oil
equivalent at year end 2023.
