always safe annual wheel for activities

Safety is a top priority

Our ambition is to be the safest operator on the NCS, with the aim of reducing injury totals to near-zero levels.

Vår Energi collaborates with Equinor, ConocoPhillips and Aker BP on the Always Safe annual wheel. The purpose of Always Safe is to strengthen the industry’s safety behaviour and culture. Through this joint effort we utilise the strengths of standardisation, increasing the impact in the industry with partners, suppliers and contractors.

Driving production growth

Vår Energi’s development pipeline and exploration track record has positioned the company for growth in the coming years.

The production target by the end of 2025 is supported by eight sanctioned development projects, well into execution with committed investments. In addition, there is a number of opportunities within existing production base to add reserves and extend field life.

Vår Energi ensures efficiency in growth plans and capital expenditures by taking a disciplined approach to field development, with the ambition to achieve project break-evens of around USD 35 per barrel.

The company’s exploration strategy is focused on identifying additional near-field drilling prospects at established assets and core hubs.
