“2025 was a transformational year for Vår Energi. While having delivered significant production growth, we are pleased to also continue to increase our reserves and resource base. Total reserves plus resources stand at 2.2 billion boe, with a 2P reserve replacement ratio(1) of 185% for the year and 174% on a 3 year average basis. The reserves and resource life(2) stands at around 17 years, this represents a strong foundation for delivering higher production and value for longer, and we are working at pace to deliver a pipeline of attractive projects to realise this opportunity.” says CEO, Nick Walker.
In 2025, Vår Energi commenced production from nine new projects in accordance with plan, and sanctioned ten new development projects. The Company continues to deliver on initiatives to increase recovery from producing fields by drilling additional infill wells. The sanction of new development projects and life-time extensions of existing fields are the main reasons for the increased net reserves estimates. Total 2P reserves as of 31 December 2025 are 1,294 million boe (mmboe).
In addition, the significant volume of 2C resources represent a major part of Vår Energi’s strategy to create future value. As of 31 December 2025, total 2C resources are 865 mmboe, a slight reduction from 2024 as projects are moved into execution. Exploration successes and technical revisions are positively contributing, as the Company is actively de-risking and progressing discovered resources into new development projects. On a combined 2P reserve and 2C resource basis, the resource replacement ratio³ is 136% for the year and 279% on a 3 year average basis.
The year-end 2025 2P reserves and 2C resources comply with the Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS). International petroleum consultants DeGolyer and MacNaughton have carried out an independent assessment of Vår Energi’s portfolio containing reserves according to PRMS as of 31 December 2025.
