Operating primarily on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, Equinor produces oil, gas, wind, and solar power, with operations also including offshore wind, solar, oil refineries and natural gas processing, marketing, and trading. Strategic priorities for 2026–2027 include maximizing shareholder value, reducing CapEx by $4 billion, and adapting to slower-than-expected energy transition markets by scaling back renewables and low-carbon CapEx while focusing on core oil and gas assets.
