(Trondheim, 20 April 2026) OKEA ASA (OSE: OKEA or "the company") has entered
into a sale and purchase agreement with Japex Norge AS for a 20% WI in PL1119
(Mistral) for a fixed consideration of USD 30 million. Effective date for the
transaction is 1 January 2026.
OKEA is selling its 20% WI in PL1119 to Japex Norge AS for a fixed consideration
of USD 30 million. In addition, a contingent consideration ensures that OKEA
retains an upside given a commercial Mistral Nord discovery. The transaction is
subject to customary governmental approvals.
Located outside the company's core areas, the divestment of PL1119 strengthens
OKEA's balance sheet and maintains focus on core assets and high-grading of the
portfolio.
As a post-tax consideration, the positive net profit after tax impact of the
transaction is estimated to USD 25 million. The gain will be recognised upon
closing, which is expected by the end of Q3 2026.
PL1119 was an original OKEA idea where a missed discovery in the license was
suspected in a prolific legacy area in the Southern Norwegian Sea. Mistral has
been in OKEA's portfolio since APA2018, and Mistral Sør was discovered in Q1
2025 with recoverable resources of 38 mmboe (P50 estimate). The additional
exploration prospect, Mistral Nord, is planned to be drilled in the first
quarter of 2027.
Licence partners (post transaction) are: Equinor Energy AS (operator, 60% WI),
Inpex Idemitsu Norge AS (20% WI), and Japex Norge AS (20% WI).
