The line item New or increased provisions and other liabilities includes additional provisions incurred in the period, liabilities and contingent considerations related to acquisitions. Due to significantly reduced expected use of a transportation agreement, Equinor provided a liability of USD 166 million in 2020 for an onerous contract. In 2020, Equinor al so recognized a liability for contingent consideration of USD 145 million related to the acquisition of 49% interest in the limited liability company LLC KrasGeoNac (KGN). The timing of cash outflows of asset retirement obligations depends on the expected production cease at the various facilities. In certain production sharing agreements (PSA), Equinor’s estimated share of ARO is paid into an escrow account over the produc ing life of the field. These payments are considered down-payments of the liabilit ies. The C laims and litigations category mainly relate to expected payments for unresolved claims. The timing and amounts of potential settlements in respect of these claims are uncertain and dependent on various factors that are outside management's control. For further information on provisions and contingent liabilities, see n ote 23 Other commitments, contingent liabilities and contingent assets. The line item Reclassifi cation and transfer mainly relate to the classification of Bakken as held for sale. For further information, see note 4 Acquisitions and disposals. For further information about methods applied and estimates required, see note 2 Significant accounting poli cies.
