Equinor´s projects

Equinor, Norway’s state-owned oil and gas company, is continuing to aggressively extract oil and gas. It is also rapidly exploring new oil and gas fields all over the world. Instead of committing to the energy transition and moving towards renewable energy, Equinor is developing new oil and gas fields in Africa, Europe, North and South America. Explore Equinor’s reach and see for yourself the damages of their new and existing fossil fuel projects.

Algeria

Since 2003, Equinor has developed two of the largest gas fields in the Algeria.

The Peterhead Power Station

Equinor is working with Scottish energy company SSE to build the Peterhead Power Station, a new gas burning power station in Peterhead, in the North East of Scotland.

Canada

The Bay du Nord oil field

Bay du Nord is a project led by Equinor to develop a massive deep-sea offshore oil field outside the Eastern coast of Canada. Even though Equinor has paused the Bay du Nord project, it has no intention of stopping the search for oil and gas reserves in the area.

Norway

Oil fields in Norway

Norway – and Equinor – are accelerating the climate crisis and blocking green solutions by continuing to explore and invest in fossil fuels. Norway has ramped up its exploration licensing, despite presenting itself as a global leader against climate change. Between 2012 and 2021 the Norwegian government has issued licences equivalent to the potential extraction of 2.8 billion barrels of new oil and gas resources. This makes Norway the most aggressive explorer of new oil and gas fields in Europe.

Argentina

Equinor in Argentina

Equinor is at the forefront of new offshore oil and gas exploration in Argentina. Future oil production in Argentina can easily be dominated by Equinor, since the Norwegian state-owned company has obtained the most exploration permits in Argentina since 2018. Equinor is currently exploring a total area of 46,000 m2 in Argentina, while taking advantage of its experience in the North Sea to position itself in the South Atlantic as well. While doing this, it is acting in complete disregard for the unique biodiversity in the Argentine Sea, which has set fire to climate protests across the country.

Brazil

The Bacalhau oil field

The Bacalhau oil field, previously Carcará, is one of the largest discoveries in Brazil, located 200 kilometres off the Sao Paulo coast. Equinor estimates it to have a capacity of a daily production of up to 200,000 barrels of oil. It is the largest oil field in Equinor’s Brazilian portfolio, which Equinor is developing regardless of cries from local communities and organisations about the huge threats to biodiversity. Equinor has been active in Brazil for more than 20 years, but Bacalhau will be the first pre-salt project to be developed by an international operator in Brazil. It is set to start production in 2025.

The Rosebank oil field

The Rosebank oil field is a planned oil field 130 kilometres (80 miles) off the Shetland coast in the British North Sea. The UK government has approved Equinor’s application to develop the oil field, with an estimated daily oil production of 70,000 barrels of oil between 2026 and 2028. Equinor owns an 80% stake in Rosebank, while Ithaca Energy, a subsidiary of Israeli Delek Group, owns the remaining 20%. Equinor estimates that there will be oil production from Rosebank until 2051.
