Equinor Reports Increased Third Quarter Earnings

Equinor delivered adjusted earnings* of USD 24.3 billion and USD 6.72 billion after tax in the third quarter of 2022. Net operating income was USD 26.1 billion and the net income was reported at USD 9.37 billion.

Anders Opedal, president and CEO of Equinor ASA said: “Norway’s and Equinor’s role as a reliable energy provider is more important than ever. I am proud of all our people going to great lengths to keep the energy production high and secure. Working together with our partners and the authorities, we have taken extra measures to increase security in this situation.

The Russian war in Ukraine has changed the energy markets, reduced energy availability and increased prices. Equinor continues to provide stable flow and high production, with record-levels of gas from the Norwegian continental shelf.

High production combined with continued high price levels resulted in very strong financial results with adjusted earnings of more than 24 billion dollars before tax. The earnings enable us to continue investing in the energy transition, while building resilience in uncertain times. It also increased our tax contributions, in total around 17 billion dollars in tax payments in the quarter.”

High production impacted by seasonal turnarounds contributed to energy security

Solid operational performance and projects on stream resulted in high production despite a larger scope of turnarounds than for the same quarter previous year.

In Brazil, the Peregrino field came back in production and ramped up successfully, while the Peregrino phase 2 came on stream in October, taking total plateau production level to 110 000 barrels per day.

Production in the E&P USA was at the same level as the third quarter last year, with a higher share of the production from the offshore assets.

Total power production for the quarter ended at 491 GWh. Of this, 294 GWh is produced from renewable energy assets, down 3% from the same quarter last year mainly due to lower wind and higher maintenance activity. 197 GWh of the production was gas-to-power production from Triton Power in UK.

In the third quarter Equinor completed 7 exploration wells offshore and 2 wells were ongoing at quarter end.
