Through our brand, we wish to position ourselves as a leading company in the energy transition with the industrial strength to make a difference, driven by purpose, people, innovative thinking and not least — collaboration.

Our name

In May 2018, our Annual General Meeting voted to change our company name from Statoil to Equinor to better reflect our evolution and identity as a company for the generations to come.

Our new name derives from two key ideas: the first part denoting equal, equality, and equilibrium, and the second part signalling a company proud of its Norwegian origins that we will use actively in our positioning.

The story of a new name

Our history

In 1972, Statoil was formed by a decision of the Norwegian parliament and owned 100% by the Norwegian State. In 2001, Equinor was listed on the Oslo and New York stock exchanges with a 67% majority stake owned by the Norwegian State. In 2018 we changed our name to Equinor.
