Our activities in Norway
Oil and gas
Oil and gas production is central to our business in Norway. We explore for new resources, develop fields and operate existing installations on the Norwegian continental shelf. Onshore, oil and gas from the shelf are received at our facilities, where they are processed and prepared for onward transport.
Through an extensive infrastructure network, including one of the world’s largest subsea pipeline systems, we transport energy from the Norwegian continental shelf to Europe.
Renewable energy and low-carbon solutions
We are developing new energy solutions in Norway, particularly in offshore wind and low-carbon technologies. The waters off Norway have strong wind resources, and offshore wind could become an important part of the country’s future energy system and industrial development.
We also operate Northern Lights, the world’s first cross-border CO2 transport and storage facility.
Safe and responsible operations
Safety is our top priority. We work to operate safely, efficiently and responsibly, while reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency across our business.
Our role in Norway
Equinor contributes energy, jobs, technology development and value creation across Norway. Our activity on the Norwegian continental shelf matters both to Norway and to Europe’s energy supply.
We will continue to develop the Norwegian continental shelf to provide reliable energy and create value for society in the years ahead.
Energy for Europe
Norway and Equinor play an important role in Europe’s energy supply. We are one of the continent’s largest energy suppliers, and energy from the Norwegian continental shelf helps meet demand and strengthen energy security in an uncertain world.
Value creation and jobs across Norway
