06:56 AM EDT, 10/26/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Aker BP (AKRBP.OL) and Norwegian energy group Equinor (EQNR.OL) are teaming up to improve the commercial viability of tight oil and gas reservoirs on the Norwegian continental shelf. The companies said Monday their partnership will focus on technology development, standardization, resource maturation and well stimulation to lower development costs and increase recovery from reservoirs where hydrocarbons flow slowly through the rock. The Norwegian Offshore Directorate estimates that mapped tight reservoirs contain recoverable resources of around 2.8 billion barrels of oil equivalent.
