Kjetil Hove, executive vice president for Exploration and Production Norway said, "We have a strategy to continue the development and the value creation on the Norwegian continental shelf and expect to maintain a high production with lower emissions towards 2035. Alignment of ownership around the larger production hubs are important enablers for long-term value creation."
探索和生產挪威執行副總裁Kjetil Hove表示：“我們有一個策略，繼續在挪威大陸架上進行開發和價值創造，並希望在2035年前保持高產量和低排放。在大型產量樞紐附近實現所有權的對齊是長期價值創造的重要推動因素。"
"Although this is a value-neutral swap, this alignment of ownership will add more value to all parties from the Halten-area over time. Balanced partnerships will simplify commercial agreements, lower operating costs, and accelerate new developments with added production at a lower cost."
"儘管這是一項價值中立的交換，但這種所有權的對齊將隨着時間的推移爲所有Halten地區的當事方增加更多的價值。平衡的合作伙伴關係將簡化商業協議，降低運營成本，加速新項目的開發並增加產量並降低成本。"
