Goodwill impairment on Statfjord and reversal of previous impairment on the Yme asset
A goodwill impairment on the Statfjord assets in the range of NOK 220 – 280 million was recognised in the quarter. The goodwill impairment was mainly a result of lower expected production in 2024 due to dry wells drilled in late 2023. Goodwill impairments are not tax deductible.
Partly offsetting the goodwill impairment, was NOK 90-110 million in reversal of previous impairments at the Yme asset following positive market price developments of crude during the quarter combined with a decrease in expected discount for Yme crude.
