Report summary
Aker BP has agreed to acquire Lundin Energy's upstream business. At US$15 billion, this is the biggest deal globally in 2021 and Norway's biggest since Statoil's merger with Norsk Hydro in 2006. Consolidation among E&Ps is a megatrend and there is logic to this tie-up. Already a low cost and low carbon producer, the added scale sets Aker BP up for success as one of the industry's most resilient E&Ps. Aker BP will now produce over 400,000 boe/d in 2022, increasing to over 500,000 boe/d in 2028, making it comfortably the second biggest producer in Europe behind only Equinor. The portfolio is underpinned by a joint 31.6% stake in Johan Sverdrup, which makes up over 50% of the value of the combined business.
