Aker BP (AKRBP · Oslo)

Large independent — HQ Norway. Oil & gas valuation, proved reserves, production, break-even, net-asset-value and jurisdiction-risk screen.
Category Large independentRegion EuropeCEO Karl Johnny Hersvik (2016)Jurisdiction risk Low (3)

Overview

NCS pure-play upstream: Johan Sverdrup (~31.6% non-op, Equinor-operated) plus operated hubs Alvheim, Valhall/Hod, Skarv, Ivar Aasen and Edvard Grieg; the large operated Yggdrasil (NOAKA) development targets first oil ~2027.

Strong balance sheet (~0.3x net debt/EBITDA) funds a high, growing dividend (~9% yield); Norway's 78% special petroleum tax compresses net income vs pre-tax cash generation. Flags: single-basin concentration, decommissioning liabilities, Yggdrasil execution, and no SEC disclosure.

Its EV/EBITDA of 2.9x is below the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of -1.3% is lower than the 6.5% median, and at $25.42/boe of proved reserves it is richer than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, Aker BP scores 58/100, strongest on safety (66/100). Sub-scores: value 43, quality 65, growth 65, risk 34 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

Aker BP holds approximately 1.03 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 420 thousand boe/d (87% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 6.7 years. Break-even: ~$35-40 (NCS breakeven (Brent)) — Low-cost operator; production cost ~$7/boe; Johan Sverdrup partner (lifting ~$2-3/boe); Yggdrasil hub breakeven <$40/bbl.

Net asset value (public-source)

For Aker BP, no SEC standardized measure is disclosed (non-US filer or listed NOC), so a public-source proved-NAV floor is not computable from US filings. See the interactive screener's NAV tab for peers where an SEC figure exists.

How this is scored. Each country's risk (0–100) is anchored to two named public indices — the OECD Country Risk Classification (0–7 official export-credit country risk) and the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (Political Stability & Absence of Violence percentile) — blended 55/45 and rescaled to 0–100. A company's jurisdiction risk is the production-weighted average across the countries where it operates. This is a pure country measure, kept separate from company & financial risk (leverage, governance). Source: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC) as of 24 July 2025, sourced via the German Federal Export Credit Guarantees (exportkreditgarantien.de) which applies the OECD consensus country risk category directly (values 0-7; 0 = lowest risk). High-income OECD members are not individually rated by the OECD and are set to crc=0 per the model spec (US, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ, and most of Europe incl. OECD members Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Ireland). 'ps' = World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) 'Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism' percentile rank, latest available (2023 vintage), 0-100 with higher = more stable; ps values are best sourced estimates rounded to the WGI percentile scale. Yemen not on OECD list ('./.') so crc estimated at 7. Iraq-Kurdistan and Falklands are non-standard model rows using judgment, not official OECD entries..
