730 million barrels of oil equivalent

Theoil and gas resources of the projects are worth approximately 730 million barrels of oil equivalent. The company’s share of project investments is approximately $19 billion for the period 2023-2028. The average price of oil at the break-even point is $35 to $40 per barrel.

This price is obtained with a discount rate of 10%. This price also takes into account the change in the Norwegian tax. Indeed, the Norwegian tax on petroleum products adds an average of $5 to $6 per barrel to the break-even point.
