Equinor ASA

What they do

Equinor explores for, produces, and sells crude oil and natural gas, primarily on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and internationally. It also operates refining, processing, and trading activities, and is developing renewable energy projects including offshore wind and low-carbon solutions such as carbon capture and storage. The company reports segments including Exploration & Production Norway, Exploration & Production International, Renewables, and Low Carbon Solutions.

Revenue drivers

• Exploration & Production Norway — Produces and sells crude oil and natural gas from Norwegian assets, a core contributor to revenue and cash flow.
• Exploration & Production International — Produces and sells oil and gas from international assets, with revenue sensitive to commodity prices and production volumes.
• Renewables and Low Carbon Solutions — Develops and operates wind farms (e.g., Empire Wind, Lyngsåsa, Baltyk 2/3) and invests in carbon capture and storage and electrification projects; currently a smaller share of overall revenue.

Risks

• Commodity price risk — Equinor is exposed to fluctuations in crude oil, refined products, natural gas, and electricity prices, which can significantly impact revenue and profitability.
• Currency risk — As a multinational with significant operations in Norway, the company is affected by changes in exchange rates, particularly NOK, EUR, and GBP against the USD, impacting equity and profit/loss.
• Decommissioning and restoration obligations — Equinor has provisions for decommissioning, restoration, and rehabilitation costs related to its oil and gas assets, requiring future cash outflows.
• Exploration and development uncertainty — The company capitalizes exploration costs and holds oil and gas prospects, which may not result in commercially viable reserves, potentially leading to write-offs.
