On October 24, Equinor ASA rose 5.44% in Regular Trading, trading at $49.02, with turnover of $187 million.
The clearest catalyst was the UK approval for Shell and Equinor's Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea to begin supplying gas to British homes and businesses as early as the end of October.
According to disclosed details, the project is expected to lift UK domestic gas production by about 6% at peak, operate for up to 11 years, and contribute roughly GBP 2.9 billion to the UK economy. Development consent was granted after regulatory review, allowing production to proceed once development work is completed.
For Equinor ASA, the approval reinforces policy support for monetizing its North Sea gas portfolio and European supply position. Recent supporting developments include two additional well options exercised for Deepsea Atlantic and a five-year gas supply agreement with Eneco, which together strengthen market expectations for its upstream and gas business outlook.
