OKEA ASA

When work leaves a mark – quite literally!   We value the bonds our employees form with their work. A recent retiree, Kåre Igesund, made a heartfelt (and quite bold) decision to celebrate his time at OKEA by getting a tattoo of Draugen – a symbol of his long career at the installation.   Disclaimer: We DO NOT expect our employees to have work-related tattoos…. But the demonstration of pride is invaluable to us as a company ❤️   And we understand Kåre. Draugen is more than just a field; it represents ambitions, teamwork and shared experiences. A great workplace is about more than results; it's about creating a culture where people achieve goals together 👩🔧 👨🏭 👩🏫 👨🔬 👩🎓   So, whether our colleagues choose to get a tattoo or not… Thank you for contributing to our OKEA culture. And to our recent retiree, Kåre – we wish you all the best and are honoured that your time here meant so much.   #OKEAculture #Operationalexcellence #employerbranding

OKEA is rapidly growing, and our vision is clear: to be the leading mid- to late-life operator on the Norwegian continental shelf.   These are some of the projects that get us excited and that we hope can get you excited: ✔️ Development of Bestla, a 6.3 billion NOK project aimed to unlock estimated reserves of 24 mmboe oil and gas. ✔️ The Draugen life extension. Production was initially planned to cease around 2013. Now, it has been extended until 2040! ✔️ An ambitious exploration strategy with a plan to drill up to four exploration wells per year, and a key focus on building a portfolio of prospects in the Norwegian Sea and North Sea basins. Make no mistake: our ambitions are high, and we do not rest on our laurels.  So, if you want to spend your time contributing to ambitious projects and be part of a fun team, look no further. There's never been a more thrilling time to be part of OKEA.

Highlights: 📊 In 2023, Norwegian oil and gas companies paid NOK 465 billion in corporate tax. OKEA contributed NOK 3 billion, ranking us as Norway’s 26th largest taxpaying corporation in Norway. ⚡ Our two 31-year-old fields, Draugen and Brage, produce enough oil and gas to meet the energy needs of half of Norway’s households. 👷♀️ We employ 500 people, support suppliers across the country, and actively contribute to the communities where we operate. To summarize, we take pride in delivering oil and gas to Europe, supporting Norway’s economy, and strengthening our local communities.

We meet with governmental bodies to discuss challenges, opportunities, and advancements in our industry. ❓ Why? To foster mutual understanding and better decision-making.   That is why our colleagues Ragnhild Aas, Thomas Lerdahl, and Trond Gravem met with the Norwegian Ministry of Energy, Norwegian Offshore Directorate, and Norges forskningsråd (Research Council of Norway). ❓ To talk about what? They discussed how OKEA applies technology to achieve our goals, including solutions for tying marginal discoveries into existing infrastructure and drilling extreme extended-reach wells to increase production in mature fields. ✔️ Our technology strategy focuses on developing and implementing efficient solutions across our facilities and operations. ✔️ Collaboration with technology suppliers is essential to our success, and we must highlight the vital role of research centers in advancing subsurface expertise and emission-reduction technologies.  ✔️ Technology is not just an enabler—it’s a necessity for driving growth and delivering results. In other words, technology is critical to unlocking new opportunities and extending the lifetime of our oil and gas-producing assets. #Operationalexcellence

What does the future of exploration look like on the Norwegian continental shelf? 🌍 This was the topic when our colleague, Ida Ianssen Lundh, SVP Subsurface, joined the panel "The Future of Exploration on the NCS - Increasing Costs, Competitiveness & Policy" at the NCS Exploration Strategy event. Europe faces an energy crunch, and Norway's oil and gas sector is stepping up, with record investments planned for 2024. Ida made the following points: ✔️ Focus on cooperation: ⁃ with our suppliers to enable smart and cost-efficient developments. ⁃ with licence partners to align interests and enable developments, avoiding being stuck in commercial discussions. ✔️ Solving «technical enablers»: ⁃ extended reach drilling from new and existing infrastructure. ⁃ multidisciplinary early-phase engineering to enable lean and cost-efficient subsea tiebacks. ✔️ Continuous optimisation of production and the maturation of new volumes to extend the lifetime of existing infrastructure on the NCS, which again will trigger more area exploration. Let's continue exploring the NCS 🌏 Thank you for having us, GeoPublishing Events #Operationalexcellence
