Equinor ASA is an integrated energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production, transportation, refining, and marketing of petroleum and petroleum products, as well as in renewable energy activities. The company operates globally with a strong focus on offshore oil and gas fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and international projects in the Americas, Africa, Eurasia, and the United States. Equinor ASA also develops and operates offshore wind farms and other renewable energy projects to support its energy transition strategy.
Equinor ASA generates revenue primarily from the sale of crude oil, natural gas, and petroleum products, as well as from the transportation and processing of hydrocarbons. The company earns income through long-term contracts and spot market sales to utilities, industrial users, and refiners across Europe, North America, and other regions. Revenue is also derived from renewable energy operations, including offshore wind farms that sell electricity under power purchase agreements or through government-subsidized schemes.
The company operates through the following segments: Exploration & Production Norway, Exploration & Production International, and Exploration & Production USA.
• Exploration & Production Norway: This segment focuses on oil and gas activities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, including the operation of major fields such as Johan Sverdrup, Troll, Oseberg, and Gullfaks. The segment is responsible for field development, production, and maintenance of offshore platforms and subsea infrastructure. Equinor ASA holds significant equity interests in these fields and collaborates with partners through joint ventures governed by unitization agreements.
• Exploration & Production International: This segment encompasses upstream operations outside Norway and the United States, including assets in Brazil, Angola, Algeria, Canada, Argentina, the United Kingdom, and other international locations. Key fields include Peregrino in Brazil, In Salah in Algeria, Roncador in Brazil, and Mariner and Buzzard in the UK (prior to divestment). The segment also includes interests in the Adura joint venture with Shell for UK North Sea assets. Production is conducted through operated and non-operated interests under various contractual arrangements such as concessions and production sharing agreements.
• Exploration & Production USA: This segment covers Equinor ASA’s onshore and offshore activities in the United States, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico and the Appalachian basin. Major offshore fields include Caesar Tonga, Vito, Tahiti, St. Malo, Julia, Jack, Big Foot, Stampede, and Titan. Onshore activities involve partnerships with various operators in shale formations such as Marcellus and Utica. The segment also includes the Heidelberg field in the Gulf of Mexico, where Equinor ASA holds a non-operated interest.
Equinor ASA holds a strong position in the global energy industry as one of the largest offshore operators in the world, particularly known for its technological leadership in deepwater and harsh-environment drilling. The company competes with major integrated energy firms such as Shell, BP, TotalEnergies, Chevron, and ExxonMobil. Its competitive advantages include extensive experience in offshore operations, a robust project portfolio, and a strategic focus on low-carbon energy solutions, including carbon capture and storage projects like Northern Lights and offshore wind developments.
Equinor ASA serves a diverse customer base that includes national oil companies, international energy traders, utility providers, industrial manufacturers, and government entities. Specific customers mentioned in the filing include Petoro AS, which manages the Norwegian State’s direct financial interest, and various joint venture partners such as Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, TotalEnergies, Eni, and Petrobras. The company also sells natural gas to customers in the UK and mainland Europe through the Gassled transportation system and liquefied natural gas to global markets.
