Our ambition is to be an ESG leader through safe, healthy, secure and sustainable operations throughout the value chain, with minimal impact on the environment. This goes hand-in-hand with efficient operations, well-executed projects and strong drilling and well operations.

Vår Energi will achieve this through extensive collaboration and dialogue with highly skilled partners, suppliers, trade unions, and the authorities. To achieve this, Vår Energi has made the commitment to deliver a better future, working towards:

a stable and secure energy supply with lower greenhouse gas emissions
responsible management of natural resources
a solid flow of revenue for owners and the broader Norwegian society – based on increased energy production for customers in Europe.

Sustainable value creation

The NCS exhibits low CO2 emissions from production with an average of 7 kg of CO2 per barrel, compared to the global average of around 17 kg of CO2 per barrel. The region is a global leader in electrification, with 40% of the NCS slated to be electrified mainly with renewable hydropower by 2025.
