Every day Equinor
delivers oil, gas and renewable power to more than 170 million people. For fifty years, Equinor has been pushing the
boundaries of imagination and technology, taking the company to deeper waters
and new frontiers. Today, we are the largest operator in Norway, one of the
world’s largest offshore operators, and a growing force in renewables and low
carbon projects.
The energy industry
is experiencing fundamental challenges. In Equinor, the approach is to turn these
into opportunities, seeking new ways to utilise its expertise to the growing new
energy arena as well as driving innovation in oil and gas around the world.
Equinor
supports the Paris Agreement, and the ambition is to become a net zero energy
company by 2050. Guided by its strategy - always safe, high value, low carbon -
it will create value as a leader in the energy transition, in renewables,
carbon capture and storage, and hydrogen. It is also a leader in sustainable
development, receiving a number of recognitions for its sustainability
performance.
To reach its
ambitious goals Equinor seeks to remain at the forefront of digitalisation,
implementing and creating value from new digital tools which enable
improvements and optimisations in day to day operations, in combination with
remotely controlled and automated designs.
In
renewables Equinor has successfully applied its oil and gas expertise to Dogger
Bank, the world’s largest offshore wind farm, and Hywind Tampen, the world’s
largest floating offshore wind farm.
Equinor is
developing the world's first carbon capture and storage network (Northern
Lights), and is progressing with several low carbon hydrogen projects. Carbon
capture enables near-term, large-scale emissions abatement while preserving
reliable energy, high-value industries and highly skilled jobs.
Equinor
believes societies will continue to need oil and gas in the future. That is why
it continues to look for and produce oil and gas at industry-leading emissions
levels, less than half the global industry average, using electrification,
energy efficiency and digital technologies.
Ahmed Osman,
Middle East Business Development Manager in Equinor, emphasized that the
company is glad to be working with local entities in both the gas sector as
well as in the renewable arena. “Oman has great ambitions for the energy
transition and Equinor is hoping to be part of this journey.”
