Equinor ASA (formerly Statoil) is a Norwegian state‑majority‑owned energy company headquartered in Stavanger. It explores for, develops, and produces oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, with core operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and additional activities in the North Sea, North America, Brazil, and other basins. The company is known for offshore and subsea project execution and operates through exploration and production, and marketing, midstream and processing segments, alongside a growing renewables portfolio.
For the chemical industry, Equinor is a major supplier of natural gas and NGLs (including ethane, propane, and butanes) to European markets, supporting petrochemical feedstocks and power. It markets and trades crude, gas, and liquids; holds interests across processing, terminal, and pipeline infrastructure on the Norwegian Continental Shelf; and pursues low‑carbon solutions such as carbon capture and storage and hydrogen, together with large‑scale offshore wind projects—developments increasingly linked to decarbonizing energy and feedstock chains.
Also known as Statoil and Equinor Energy AS.

Partial electrification cuts ~330,000 tonnes CO₂/yr; TWEL will finish after commissioning the first electric export compressor on Troll C and omit the second to avoid up to 21 months outage, freeing ~2.3 bcm gas in 2027–28.
Awarded by Subsea7 to supply key subsea spools and structures for Northern Lights Phase II, driving CO2 storage capacity above 5 Mtpa by 2028.
Transaction supports maturation toward an early‑2027 investment decision; operator retains 70% and FPSO-based development in the Flemish Pass continues.
Gas found at Gullfaks South: 0.5–1.6 million standard cubic metres of recoverable oil equivalents (3.3–10.3 million boe), drilled as a sidetrack to a production well.
Cost estimate raised to NOK 26.5bn (2026 value); onshore compression set for 2029, electrification 2030; project ~60% complete and will cut CO₂ by 850,000 t/yr.
Near‑field discovery to be fast‑tracked to production, adding 6,000 bpd; operator stakes in two nearby exploration blocks and a Benguela Basin farm‑in HoA.
First complete cross-border CCS value chain; captures 800,000 tCO₂/yr from ammonia, shipped to Norway for permanent seabed storage, ~12 Mt over 15 years.
Adds ~30 million boe (mostly gas) and >4 billion m³ of gas; tied to Skarv FPSO with 4.5 kg CO2/boe intensity; lifts Skarv output toward 9 million boe by 2027.
