Sandnes, Norway, 22 December 2025: Vår Energi (OSE: VAR, “the Company”) is providing an update on production guidance for full year 2025, which is updated to be in the range 330 to 335 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (kboepd) at the lower end of the previous guidance, due to recent operational challenges at the Johan Castberg and the Balder fields.
At Johan Castberg, some issues with the offloading hose have led to periods of reduced production in November and again now in December. In the Balder area, there is recently experienced reduced production at the Jotun FPSO caused by operational interruptions following the just started up Balder Phase V project tied-in to the FPSO. Both the Johan Castberg and Balder fields are expected back at plateau production by the end of December.
Vår Energi has started up nine growth projects during 2025, delivering transformational production growth. The Company’s production potential when all assets are producing is in the range of 440 to 460 kboepd. Full year 2026 production guidance of around 400 kboepd remains unchanged.
