Investor relations

Aker BP is an independent E&P company with exploration, development and production activities on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). 

The world will continue to need oil and gas for the foreseeable future. We believe the winners in the oil and gas market will be the companies that succeed in lowering emissions while reducing costs. As a pure play E&P company, Aker BP aims to continue creating value for its stakeholders through efficient production, reduced emissions, and sharing data, know-how and technology with other industries.

It is the company’s goal that over time, Aker BP’s shareholders will receive a competitive return on their investment through an increased share price and cash dividends.

The company is a Norwegian public limited liability company (ASA), established under Norwegian law and with tax domicile in Norway. Aker BP is listed on Oslo Børs with ticker code AKRBP. Aker BP complies with the Oslo Børs code of practice for reporting investor information.
