We began as Statoil in 1972, pioneering Norway’s energy sector. Today we’re Equinor, a global energy company providing energy to people and progress to societies across the world. Here’s a look back at how we got here.
Founded in 1972 by the Norwegian government, our original purpose was to manage the country’s vast oil and gas resources.
Since then, we have played a pivotal role in the development of Norway’s oil and gas sector, fuelling economic growth and providing substantial revenue to the state. Through exploration, development, and production of oil and gas, we have contributed significantly to Norway’s status as a leading oil and gas exporter.
