History[]
The first company named Det Norske Oljeselskap (now DNO International) was founded in 1971.
An oil company named Pertra was created when the oil exploration and production division of Petroleum Geo-Services was demerged in 2001.
In 2007, the new Det Norske Oljeselskap was created by merger of a Norwegian oil company Pertra and the Norwegian interests of DNO.[3] In 2009, a Norwegian oil company Aker Exploration merged with Det Norske Oljeselskap.
On May 21, 2013, the company announced it had produced its first oil as an operator from the Jette field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.[4]
In 2014, Det Norske Oljeselskap bought Marathon Oil's Norwegian subsidiary Marathon Oil Norway.
In 2016, Det Norske Oljeselskap and BP's subsidiary BP Norge merged. The name of the company was changed to Aker BP ASA.
As of January 2019, Aker holds 40% of the company’s shares, BP 30% and the remaining 30% is freely traded on the Oslo Børs.
