Weekly news, topics & discussion

This week, Equinor announced a joint venture with Shell for its UK assets. We consider this a sensible move for Equinor, reducing its exposure to Rosebank (and likely cutting near-term organic capex by ~3–4%), while boosting near-term production by ~1.5% and accelerating the use of its significant UK tax loss position through increased production. In other news, Pål Eitrheim, EVP Renewables at Equinor, is leaving the company after 26 years. Finally, for Panoro Energy, we expect increased dividends and see potential for M&A following the recent refinancing.
