The story of Vår Energi
The company’s heritage is built on over 50 years of operations on the NCS, including the very first license issued on the NCS in 1965 (PL001). Vår Energi AS was established in 2018 through the merger of Eni Norge AS and Point Resources AS.
Eni Norge AS was founded in 1965, while Point Resources was created through the merger of the HitecVision portfolio companies in 2016, which then acquired the Norwegian operated business of ExxonMobil in 2017.
In 2019, Vår Energi further proved its ability to execute complex transactions, with the acquisition of substantially all of ExxonMobil’s partner-operated assets on the NCS Vår Energi’s strengths, competencies and best practices have been developed over time, combining the strength of two supermajors to harness ExxonMobil’s and Eni’s operational resources and technical expertise.
In February 2022, Vår Energi was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, at the time the third largest listing measured in market capitalisation on the day of listing.
In 2024 we completed the acquisition of Neptune Energy Norge AS with 100% of the shares in Neptune Energy Norge transferred to Vår Energi. The transaction added scale, diversification, and further longevity to Vår Energi’s portfolio.
As a result, Vår Energi is now the third largest independent E&P company on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and the second largest supplier of gas from Norway to Europe.
