Abstract

The article focuses on Equinor ASA's plans to expand its US shale-gas business amid a global portfolio reshuffle. The Norwegian oil and natural gas producer aims to grow its presence primarily in the Marcellus Shale region, seeking to extend the longevity of its US operations. Equinor has recently streamlined its international holdings by exiting Azerbaijan, Nigeria, and Argentina, while maintaining the US as its largest development area outside Norway. The company targets increasing its non-Norway production to 900,000 barrels per day by 2030, up from about 700,000 barrels in the previous year. Equinor holds non-operating positions in the Gulf of Mexico and Appalachia, focusing on reallocating capital from mature assets to new opportunities. [Extracted from the article]
