In Norway, we have an 18.40% interest in the Snøhvit field, located in the Barents Sea. The gas produced is transported via a 160-kilometer pipeline to the Snøhvit LNG liquefaction plant (18.40%) with a capacity of 4.2 Mt/year in Melkøya, near Hammerfest. The gas is then shipped by LNG carrier to its consumer markets.

As part of this project, we source liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Snøhvit LNG under a long-term purchase agreement.

The Company is currently examining plans to switch the plant over to electricity in an effort to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. 

In Norway, we hold interests in several production licenses on the Norwegian continental shelf. The licenses are divided among four major hubs:

• The Greater Ekofisk area in the Southern North Sea, most of which is not operated. Four fields are in production, the largest of which are Ekofisk (39.90%) and Eldfisk (39.90%), as well as the Tommeliten Alpha discovery (20.2%).
• The Oseberg area, in the Central and Northern North Sea, which includes the following fields: Oseberg (14.70%), Troll (3.69%), and Kvitebjørn (5.00%). A number of satellite fields are tied back to the hubs, such as Atla (40.00%, operator), and Skirne (40.00%, operator).
• The Norwegian Sea (Haltenbanken area), which has several fields in production, including Tyrihans (23.15%), Kristinv (6.00%) and Åsgard (7.68%).
• On the continental shelf, we own an 8.44% interest in the Johan Sverdrup field, one of the area's largest oil fields.

We also hold interests in several exploration licenses:

• PL1127 (30%).
• PL1039B (50%).
• PL785SB (50%).

Lastly, at our research center in Stavanger, we are highly involved in subsurface research, sink technology, CO2 capture and storage, and carbon emissions reduction.

In Norway, we are working alongside our partners in developing a CO₂ storage project, for which we have just received the green light from the Norwegian authorities. The first phase, which is expected to be operational in 2024, aims to achieve a capacity of around 1.5 million tons a year. It has the potential to be the first storage site in the world to receive CO₂ from industrial sources in several countries.

In Norway, we market to our business customers:

• Automotive and marine lubricants.
• Special fluids.
• Bitumen.
• Petrochemicals.
• High-tech batteries to the defense industry through our wholly-owned affiliate Saft.
