Fields we operate in Norway
We’re responsible for 70% of oil and gas production in Norway, and we believe this region still has a bright future. We’re developing the Johan Sverdrup, Aasta Hansteen and Johan Castberg fields, aiming to maintain sustainable and profitable production at today’s levels until 2030 and beyond.

The oil from each field is unique. To learn more about the characteristics of all the oil types we sell, please see our Crude Oil Assays available from the link below.
Fields around the world
About half of our business now takes place outside Norway, and we are present in several of the most important oil and gas provinces in the world.
In 2014, we were engaged in production in 11 countries outside Norway: Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Canada, Libya, Nigeria, Russia, the UK, the US and Venezuela. Our international operations accounted for some 39% of our total equity production of oil and gas in 2014. We also hold exploration licences in Alaska, Canada, the Gulf of Mexico, South America, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
Partner-operated fields in Norway
Partner-operated fields account for approximately 13% of our total oil and gas production on the NCS. The main producing fields are Ormen Lange, Skarv and Ekofisk, operated by Shell, BP and ConocoPhillips respectively. We have a 25.35% interest in Ormen Lange, 36.17% in Skarv and approximately 7% in Ekofisk (2014 figures).
