More renewable focus by European majors

The oil price ended last week down 3% on the outlook for quicker Saudi Arabian returns, US inventory build, and demand worries, while the gas price remained depressed at USD3.2/mmbtu. Key events last week were our downgrade of Equinor to HOLD ahead of its Q3 results after disappointing NCS production numbers, Vår Energi’s acquisition of ExxonMobil’s non-operated Norwegian portfolio, DNO’s buybacks, and more renewable focus by Total, ENI, and Equinor.
