History and Founding of Equinor ASA

Equinor ASA was founded in 1972 in Norway as a state-owned company tasked with developing the country’s vast North Sea oil and gas reserves.
From its inception, Equinor played a pivotal role in building a sustainable and efficient national oil industry, earning global recognition for its operational excellence and technological innovation.

In its early years, the company was instrumental in driving Norway’s economic growth, overseeing exploration and production in key fields such as Ekofisk, which helped establish Norway as one of the world’s leading oil exporters.

Over the following decades, Equinor expanded internationally, investing in major projects across North America, Brazil, and other strategic energy markets.
In 2001, the company completed its initial public offering (IPO) and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker EQNR, strengthening its capital base to support global expansion.

In 2018, the company rebranded from Statoil to Equinor, reflecting its broader strategy to transition toward renewable energy and sustainability, particularly through offshore wind development and carbon emission reduction initiatives.

Between 2020 and 2024, Equinor faced significant challenges stemming from oil price volatility, regulatory shifts, and accelerating pressures for energy transition.
During this period, the company increased its investments in renewable energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, and other low-carbon innovations to align with global climate goals.

Today, Equinor ASA remains a key global player in the energy industry, strategically balancing its oil and gas operations with the development of cleaner energy solutions, reinforcing its position as a leader in the global shift toward a low-carbon economy.
