Oslo — Norwegian oil group Aker BP on Thursday reported a rise in second-quarter earnings that matched expectations as record output offset weaker prices for oil and gas.
Norway’s second-largest listed oil company, partly owned by BP, said operating profit was $2.26 billion against a year-earlier $1.16 billion and a $2.3 billion analyst consensus forecast published by Aker BP.
