Statoil Innovate is our dedicated channel to challenge-driven open innovation. We focus on connecting with institutions and companies large and small that can help us find solutions to concrete business challenges.
We’re looking for ideas and solutions to improve and expand our business along three main opportunity areas, and radical ideas and solutions are especially welcome. Our three focus areas are:
Competitive at all times
Transforming the oil and gas industry
Providing energy for a low carbon future
This page is available in English only
One of the great challenges the oil & gas sector is facing is how to reduce the CO2 emissions from our oil & gas developments offshore. Onsite gas turbines for power and heat production is the main source of emissions. Do you have an idea that can enable power and heat production offshore, with zero or minimal CO2 emissions?
Statoil Innovation Gallery
Statoil is constantly looking for solutions to our business challenges and we recognize our need to collaborate with innovative people and organizations around the world. Selected innovation challenges are posted on Statoil Innovation Gallery on Ninesights, seeking your ideas. Read about them here.
Are you ready for a challenge?
At regular intervals we post challenges that typically run as campaigns for periods of 6 to 12 weeks—and we invite you to submit proposals.
The challenges are connected to a real Statoil project organisation working alongside the challenge campaign. This challenge team includes professionals dedicated to reviewing and exploring potential next steps for working with solvers to develop and implement solutions that improve our operations.
