OSLO, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Aker BP's oil and gasproduction fell 4.6 percent in the third quarter to 150,600barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) due to maintenance attwo of its fields, it said on Friday.
The company, 30 percent owned by BP, however,maintained its full-year production guidance of 155,000-160,000boed.
It said production in the third quarter was affected byplanned maintenance activities at the Skarv and Alvheim fields,as well as reduced exports from Skarv.
Production from its Valhall field, which it acquired fromHess a year ago, also rose less than it expected due toa longer than planned well testing program.
"As a result, some of the production growth that wasexpected from Valhall in the third quarter has been moved tocoming quarters," it added.
Valhall output stood at 35,100 boed in the third quarter.
Aker BP shares were 1.2 percent down by 0827 GMT,underperforming European oil and gas index which wasdown 0.2 percent.
Analysts at Sparebank 1 Markets said the overallthird-quarter production was disappointing and may trigger somediscussion around downside risk to the company's overall 2018guidance.(Reporting by Nerijus Adomaitis; editing by EmeliaSithole-Matarise)
