BP Norge AS was a subsidiary of BP (British Petroleum), one of the world's largest oil and gas companies. Based in Norway, BP Norge AS was involved in the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas resources on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

In 2016, BP Norge merged with Det Norske Oljeselskap ASA to form Aker BP ASA. This strategic merger was aimed at combining resources and expertise from both companies to create a more competitive and robust player in the Norwegian oil and gas industry.

Key Points Post-Merger:

Aker BP ASA: The newly formed company continues to focus on the exploration and production of oil and gas on the NCS, building on the legacy and assets of both BP Norge and Det Norske Oljeselskap.
Expanded Portfolio: The merger resulted in an expanded portfolio of assets, providing greater operational synergies and enhanced growth prospects.
Focus on Innovation: Aker BP ASA places a strong emphasis on leveraging the latest technology and innovation to maximize resource recovery and operational efficiency while maintaining high standards of safety and environmental stewardship.

In summary, BP Norge AS was an important player in Norway's oil and gas industry, and its legacy continues through Aker BP ASA, which operates as a leading independent exploration and production company on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
