Oslo, 4 March 2026: BlueNord ASA ("BlueNord" or "the Company") is presenting at DNB Carnegie’s Energy & Shipping Conference in Oslo today. The presentation is attached here, and includes an updated hedge portfolio.
BlueNord has increased its base hedging position using swap and collar structures from approximately 60% of expected 2026 production at the end of February 2026 to nearly 70% of expected production today, taking advantage of the significantly higher commodity prices seen during this period.
For the majority of the remaining 30% of its expected 2026 production, volumes that sit above the maximum hedging limits permitted under the Company’s reserve-based lending facility, BlueNord has purchased put options with strike prices of $75/bbl for oil and €40/MWh for gas.
“Following the recent volatility in commodity markets, we have strengthened our hedging position across both oil and gas while continuing to retain meaningful exposure to higher prices. As a result, we now have downside price protection across approximately 100% of our expected 2026 production. By using purchased put options on the volumes above the RBL hedge limits, we retain full upside exposure on that portion of production. With 2026 expected to be a year of strong cash generation, this structure provides a solid foundation for maximising shareholder distributions under our policy of returning 50–70 percent of operating cash flow to shareholders,” said Jacqueline Lindmark Boye, Chief Financial Officer of BlueNord.
