Equinor said artificial intelligence generated $130 million in value and savings in 2025 as the new technology helped it process more data, operate facilities more profitably and optimize energy consumption.

The Norwegian energy major said Wednesday that AI is now utilized on offshore platforms and land facilities to solve industrial tasks on a large scale, and that to maintain production on the Norwegian continental shelf at 2020 levels through 2035, AI is crucial.

The company said it is using the technology to predict maintenance needs, plan more efficient wells and field development, and analyze seismic data--which can be done ten times faster.

"We use AI to interpret more seismic data, plan and drill more wells, and operate our facilities safely and profitably, while also using the technology to optimize energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions," said Hege Skryseth, Equinor's executive vice president for technology, digital, and innovation.

Equinor currently has a range of AI solutions in use, and more than a hundred new use cases have been identified.

It said that since 2020, the company has realized value of more than $330 million with AI in industrial processes, of which $130 million came in 2025.
