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.

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.
Portfolio concentrated into fewer countries, expected ~USD 20bn free cash flow 2026–2030; US, Brazil and Angola to drive growth; higher margins from high-grading and stepped-up exploration.
Stage 2 began production on 22 August, accelerating 55 billion scm from Troll West, coming online early and several hundred million NOK below the original cost estimate.
A joint programme will target high‑impact prospects to find standalone field candidates by testing 20–25 opportunities and drilling about five wells per year.
15‑year contract secures over 30 TWh/year from 2027–2041 to bolster Germany's gas security and develop lower‑emissions natural gas.
Three-year agreement from September to deliver 5–9+ Mt/year of Johan Sverdrup crude to Central European refineries, with scope to add other NCS grades.
