    Report overview

    Equinor has a history of using its core operations as a way to fuel its growth ambitions. This year, Equinor’s investments in oil and gas will increase slightly to $10 billion, with a relatively even increase in both exploration expenditure (expex) and capital expenditure (capex). An additional $3 billion will also be invested in renewables and low-carbon solutions, primarily solar, onshore and offshore wind and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). This report reviews Equinor's expected investment through to 2030.

    Equinor’s cross-border CO2 pipeline project, CO2 Highway Europe, has the potential to become one of the most complex pipeline networks in the coming decade. If the project comes to fruition, it will be a milestone on the path to industrialization of the European CCS sector. However, challenges remain, including the long time to recoup investments, lower returns, complexities associated with handling CO2 from dozens of point sources, and intensifying competition on available CO2 storage sites in Europe from 2030.

        Supermajor Transformation Report

        The six supermajors BP, Shell, TotalEnergies, ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Eni set the trend for the rest of the industry. The report series examines in depth each major’s transition strategy, financial performance, corporate targets, emissions performance and reduction plans, and value at risk, as well as their forward-looking portfolio investments and diversification into CCUS, hydrogen, and renewable energy. This analysis will help other oil and gas companies to better understand the range of pathways that could put them at the forefront of the market, and will provide financial institutions and regulators with a better understanding of how the majors’ transition strategies affect their performance within a range of key performance indicators.

        Corporate Benchmarking Report

        This report series focuses on benchmarking peer group transition strategies. These reports allow readers to compare and contrast companies’ performance along the following dimensions: financial performance, cost and carbon competitiveness, exploration strategies, portfolio investments, mergers and acquisitions, value at risk, portfolio transformation targets, and expansion plans within low-carbon sectors.

        Energy Transition Risk Report

        This regular report is delivered to clients twice a year, providing a long-term outlook for the upstream industry based on various demand scenarios. In this report we conceptualize, examine, and quantify the energy transition risk for various stakeholders involved in upstream value creation: oil and gas companies, service companies, investors/banks, and governments. We look at the upstream industry through the lens of Rystad Energy’s various energy transition scenarios, and also use industry benchmark scenarios such as the International Energy Agency’s Announced Pledges scenario (APS) and Net Zero Emissions (NZE) scenario and the OPEC demand scenario to illustrate the key factors propelling change in the upstream oil and gas sector and shed light on the obstacles ahead.
