This NCS asset base isn't just about barrels; it’s about how those barrels are produced - cheaply and cleanly - which is a massive competitive moat.

For the first nine months of 2025, Equinor reported a 7% increase in production, driven by new fields like Johan Castberg, keeping them on track with their overall 2025 production growth guidance.
