OSLO, April 13 (Reuters) - Norwegian oil company Aker BP
 AKRBP.OL  produced 208,200 barrels of oil equivalents per day
(boepd) in the first quarter, up from 207,000 boepd in the
previous three months, the company said on Wednesday.
    However, output remains below the company's guidance of
210,000-220,000 boepd for the whole of 2022.    
    Aker BP in December announced a deal to buy the oil and gas
business of Sweden's Lundin Energy  LUNE.ST , forming the
second-largest listed petroleum company on the Norwegian
continental shelf.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N2T63VQ
    Combined production for the two businesses was about 400,000
boepd in 2021 and expected to increase to 475,000 boepd in 2023,
the companies said at the time.
    Aker BP reports full first-quarter earnings on April 28.
