Equinor is a Norwegian multinational energy company, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Stavanger, Norway. Originally named Statoil, the company was established to manage Norway's oil and gas resources on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. It has since evolved into one of the world's largest oil companies, focusing on both fossil fuels and renewable energy.

Equinor's core activities encompass exploration, development, production, transportation, refining, and marketing of oil and gas. The company operates significant oil fields, including the Statfjord and Johan Sverdrup fields. In addition to its traditional oil and gas operations, Equinor is investing in low-carbon solutions and expanding its portfolio in renewable energy, particularly offshore wind projects. The company aims for a net-zero carbon footprint by 2050, balancing its oil production with a commitment to sustainability. Equinor serves a diverse range of customers, including energy companies, industrial users, and governments, primarily in Europe.
