AKER BP ASA There is an ongoing strike on the Norwegian continental shelf, and the union Lederne has taken out 43 members at the Johan Sverdrup field, whereAker BP is a partner with 11.6 percent working interest. So far, production from the Johan Sverdrup field has not been affected by the strike.Equinor , the operator ofJohan Sverdrup , has today announced that this situation would change if the strike continues into 14 October. This is due to the scheduled rotation of personnel as there would not be sufficient capacity and competence in key operational functions at Johan Sverdrup.Aker BP hopes that in the intervening period a solution may be found to avoid this outcome. None ofAker BP's other producing fields have been affected by the ongoing strike.
