Oslo, 7 June 2023: BlueNord ASA ("BlueNord" or the "Company") today announced
preliminary production for April and May 2023 of 22.6 thousand barrels of oil
equivalent per day (mboepd) including a revised quarterly production guidance
for 2023 as described below.
The planned Halfdan re-route was completed ahead of schedule, with more limited
impact on Dan and Halfdan production than expected. In addition, the underlying
well potential has increased with both a higher than expected effect from the
Gorm restimulation campaign and additional restimulation campaigns on Dan. As a
result of this, combined with the continued strong performance across the
portfolio, the Company has revised and increased its quarterly production
guidance for 2023, and based on current assumptions expects production for Q2 -
Q4 2023 as follows:
+--------+----------------+-----------------+
|(mboepd)|Current Guidance|Previous Guidance|
+--------+----------------+-----------------+
|Q2 2023 |22.5 - 23.5 |20.0 - 21.5 |
+--------+----------------+-----------------+
|Q3 2023 |24.0 - 25.0 |22.5 - 24.0 |
+--------+----------------+-----------------+
|Q4 2023 |26.0 - 27.0 |24.5 - 26.0 |
+--------+----------------+-----------------+
"I am delighted to confirm that the high level of well intervention and
stimulation activity during 2022 and 2023 has delivered higher than expected
production gains and we are seeing increased longer term well potential on both
the Dan and Gorm fields. Combined with the efficient execution of the Halfdan re
-route project and high production uptime we have increased our current
expectation of 2023 production," said Marianne Eide, Chief Operating Officer in
BlueNord.
BlueNord will announce its second quarter 2023 results on 12 July 2023.
