Equinor is a Norwegian energy company that pumps oil and natural gas out of the ground, then sells those fuels to utilities, industrial customers, and energy traders. It is best known for operating in the North Sea, where it is the largest oil and gas producer. The Norwegian government owns roughly 67% of the company, making it partly state-controlled.

Equinor earns most of its revenue by selling crude oil, natural gas, and refined products at market prices, which means its profits rise and fall with global energy prices. It operates in more than 30 countries, with the bulk of production coming from Norway, but it also has growing assets in the U.S., Brazil, and the UK. Equinor has been investing heavily in offshore wind projects as part of a long-term shift toward cleaner energy, but that transition carries execution risk and requires large amounts of capital at a time when oil prices remain unpredictable.
