What type of company is Equinor?
Is Equinor an oil company?
Equinor is an international energy company present in almost 30 countries worldwide, including several of the world's most important oil and gas provinces. Founded in 1972 under the name Den Norske Stats Oljeselskap AS—Statoil (the Norwegian State Oil company), we changed our name to Equinor in 2018.
Who did Equinor used to be?
Equinor, formerly Statoil, has grown up along with the emergence of the Norwegian oil and gas industry, and dating back to the late 1960s. Today, we are evolving into a broad energy major, with a significant and growing renewables business.
Why did Statoil change its name to Equinor?
Looking towards the next 50 years, reflecting on the global energy transition and how we are developing as a broad energy company, it has become natural to change our name. The name Equinor captures our heritage and values, and what we aim to be in the future,” says former Statoil's President and CEO Eldar Sætre.
Is Equinor state owned?
Equinor ASA (formerly Statoil and StatoilHydro) is a Norwegian state-owned multinational energy company headquartered in Stavanger.
