The new field is the fourth exploration well the operator has drilled offshore Norway in the past 16 months.

The Italian oil and gas major has taken on a 20% stake in the first two phases of the project, which ultimately will be run by Equinor.

Wind energy sources located offshore present challenges in transporting large amounts of energy. Energy transport through hydrogen molecules may be a solution. The PosHYdon project is intended to build experience with offshore H2 production and test power-to-gas technologies and integrated systems.

The EPCI contract for the Breidablikk development includes provision of flexible jumpers and rigid pipelines as well as pipeline installation work. About 70% of the value creation in the Breidablikk development phase is expected to go to Norwegian companies.

The merger will effectively end the 86-year run of UK independent oil producer Premier Oil and give rise to one of the largest companies operating in the North Sea region.

Equinor awarded multimillion-dollar contracts to Aker Solutions and Wood for work on the oil field in the Norwegian Continental Shelf. It said about 70% of the contracts for the development phase is expected to go to Norwegian companies.

Winning innovators focused on environment, safety, and operational efficiency.

The Norwegian company completed what it describes as the world’s first logistics operation with a drone to an offshore installation.

Equinor said drones could reinforce safety, boost production efficiency and contribute to lower CO2 emissions from Norwegian oil and gas

Using an underwater remotely operated vehicle, activists on board the Greenpeace ship Esperanza documented a large methane leak in the North Sea caused by a major blowout during an oil drilling operation 30 years ago.
