Use of artificial intelligence saved Equinor USD 130 million in 2025

AI Contributions: In 2025 alone, artificial intelligence (AI) contributed USD 130 million in value creation and savings to Equinor and its partners by solving industrial tasks on an offshore and onshore basis.
AI in Operational Efficiency: AI’s application within Equinor includes predictive maintenance of machines, which has resulted in a safer, more stable operation, reducing sudden shutdowns and flaring, and has generated USD 120 million in value since 2020.
AI Planning and Exploration: AI-driven planning has saved USD 12 million in phase 3 of the Johan Sverdrup project by identifying a previously unconsidered solution, and it increases seismic data interpretation tenfold, facilitating new discoveries on the Norwegian continental shelf.
Future Ambitions: Equinor aims to maintain its production at 2020 levels through 2035 (1.2 million barrels of oil equivalents per day) with AI-driven interpretations of seismic data, efficient well planning and drilling, and cost reductions, emphasizing AI’s key role in contributing to energy security and value creation.
Ongoing and Future Initiatives: Equinor has actively utilized AI for industrial processes such as seismic data interpretation and well planning, has identified over a hundred new AI use cases, and is leveraging AI to enhance operational efficiency and optimize CO2 emissions.
