Equinor

Equinor ASA is a Norwegian multinational energy company headquartered in Stavanger. It traces its roots to Statoil (Den norske stats oljeselskap), established in 1972. The current company was formed in 2007 through the merger of Statoil with the oil and gas division of Norsk Hydro (as StatoilHydro) and adopted the name Equinor in 2018. The Norwegian state remains the majority shareholder (about 67%), and the shares are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker EQNR. The company operates in dozens of countries, covering exploration, extraction and production of crude oil and natural gas, as well as investments in renewable energy, including offshore wind. In its operations, particularly on offshore platforms, it deploys inspection robotics and autonomous systems.
