Equinor buys Russian oil fields weeks after setting 2050 net zero target

摘要

Equinor has strengthened its presence in Russia’s hydrocarbon sector by securing a deal with Rosneft to purchase a 49% stake in KrasGeoNaC, which holds 12 conventional exploration and production licences in eastern Siberia. The USD 550 million deal marks Equinor’s largest acquisition of 2020 and confirms the Norwegian firm still has a thirst for oil, after recently wrapping up deals in the offshore wind space and setting a target to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
