The transaction aligns with Var Energi’s strategy to optimise its portfolio by divesting non-core assets, paving the way for growth and value creation in the company’s primary areas of operation.

Operated by Aker BP with an 80% stake, the Boyla field began production in 2015. It features a subsea template connected to the Alvheim floating production storage and offloading unit.

Var Energi’s production from Boyla amounted to approximately 1,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first nine months of 2024.

Concedo will take on all decommissioning liabilities for the Boyla field interests.
