Aker BP sticks to its plan as it cheers record profits

Aker BP has reported a record net profit of $537 million for the first quarter of 2022, up from $364 million in the corresponding quarter last year.

“We have never before had a better result than this quarter. The main driver is high oil prices and high gas prices and stable production,” Aker BP’s chief executive Karl Johnny Hersvik told journalists during a webcast on Thursday.
