TitlePresident and chief executive officer

Anders Opedal (born 1968) is a Norwegian business executive and petroleum engineer who has been president and chief executive officer of Equinor, the majority state-owned Norwegian energy company formerly known as Statoil, since November 2, 2020.[1][2] He spent his whole career in the oil and gas industry, starting in 1992 with the oilfield service companies Schlumberger and Baker Hughes before joining Statoil as a petroleum engineer in 1997.[3]

Inside the company Opedal worked in drilling and wells, served as chief procurement officer from 2007 to 2010, ran a project portfolio of about NOK 300 billion from 2011, and was chief operating officer from 2015 to 2016. He then led the Brazilian business and, from 2018 to 2020, the Technology, Projects and Drilling business area.[4] When the board appointed him, it described him as the first engineer to become chief executive of the company.[1]

Opedal took over from Eldar Sætre during the COVID-19 pandemic, with oil prices low and the company under political criticism for losses on its earlier onshore investments in the United States.[5] Early in his tenure he committed the company to a net zero ambition for 2050. At a capital markets day in June 2021 he set a target of raising the renewables and low-carbon share of gross capital expenditure to about 50 percent by 2030.[6] In February 2022, after Russia invaded Ukraine, he announced that Equinor would leave its Russian joint ventures, and the exit was completed in September 2022.[7][8]

Opedal's later years in office have been marked by a turn back towards oil and gas. In October 2024 Equinor bought a 10 percent stake in the Danish wind developer Ørsted. Then, in February 2025, Opedal cut planned renewables and low-carbon spending to 2027 by half compared with the previous year's outlook, dropped the gross capital expenditure ambition for renewables and lowered the company's 2030 renewables capacity target.[9][10] In the same period the company's Empire Wind project off New York was stopped twice by orders from the United States government, in April and December 2025.[11] At a capital markets day in June 2026 he said Equinor would put 90 percent of its capital expenditure into oil and gas. As of November 2026 he remains president and chief executive.[12][13][14]

Early life and education

Opedal was born in 1968.[15] He was born and grew up in Sauda, a smelting town in Rogaland county in western Norway, where his father was a teacher and inspector at the local upper secondary school, Sauda videregående skole.[3] As a young man Opedal spent six summers working for two to three months at a time at the Sauda smelting plant. He later said this gave him respect for how Norway's process industry had kept improving under intense international competition, and he cited that industry as a model for making the oil and gas business more efficient.[3]

He studied engineering at the Norwegian Institute of Technology (Norges tekniske høgskole, NTH) in Trondheim, now part of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and graduated with a master's degree in engineering (sivilingeniør).[4][1] He later earned a Master of Business Administration from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland.[1][3]

Career

Schlumberger and Baker Hughes (1992 to 1997)

Opedal began his career in 1992 with the oilfield service companies Schlumberger and Baker Hughes (then operating its drilling services business as Baker Hughes Inteq). He worked there as an analyst and well engineer.[3] Equinor's filings confirm that he worked for both companies before joining Statoil.[4]

Statoil: drilling, procurement and projects (1997 to 2015)

Opedal joined Statoil in 1997 as a petroleum engineer in the operations organisation for the Statfjord field in the North Sea.[16] He spent many years in the drilling and well area and rose to sector manager. He held various management posts from 2003 to 2007.[3] From 2007 to 2010 he was Statoil's chief procurement officer.[4]

In 2011 Opedal became senior vice president for projects in the Technology, Projects and Drilling (TPD) business area. He was responsible for the company's project portfolio, valued at about NOK 300 billion.[16][4] In 2013 and 2014, under chief executive Helge Lund, he sat on a group of senior managers that advised the corporate executive committee on how climate change should affect the company's organisation, targets and strategy. Opedal told Dagens Næringsliv in 2020 that this work led him to read technical material on the evidence that climate change is man-made, and that it shaped his later work on wind and electrification projects.[3]

From 2012 to 2016 Opedal was also a director of Statoil Global Employment Limited, a London-registered Statoil subsidiary that has since been dissolved. He was appointed on June 18, 2012 and resigned on July 25, 2016.[17]

Chief operating officer (2015 to 2016)

On March 24, 2015, Statoil announced that Opedal would become executive vice president and the company's first chief operating officer, a new post on the corporate executive committee, from April 1, 2015. He reported to chief executive Eldar Sætre and was responsible for the company's improvement programmes and for driving operational efficiency across the business areas. Line responsibility for the assets themselves stayed where it was.[18] Sætre said he wanted Opedal "to lead the process of reviewing the corporate operating model with emphasis on simplification and efficiency". At the time Opedal lived in Sandnes.[18]

As chief operating officer, Opedal ran the efficiency drive that Statoil launched after the 2014 fall in oil prices. In a 2016 interview, quoted again by Dagens Næringsliv when he was named chief executive, he said the industry would have to do "the same type of activity as we do today, with fewer people". He also argued that, in the long term, base pay in the oil industry would have to come closer to that of other industries. In 2020 he declined to comment on wages, saying they were set by agreement between employees and unions. He said his earlier remarks had partly concerned the heavy use of consultants before 2014.[3] At the end of 2015 he held 14,511 Statoil shares.[16]

Brazil (2017 to 2018)

On November 4, 2016, Statoil announced that Jannicke Nilsson would succeed Opedal as chief operating officer from December 1, 2016. Opedal would become country manager for Brazil, as senior vice president for Development and Production International, from January 15, 2017.[19][20] He succeeded Pål Eitrheim, who became chief procurement officer. In Brazil Opedal reported to Lars Christian Bacher, executive vice president for Development and Production International, and was based in Rio de Janeiro.[19] Sætre said Opedal had been "instrumental in establishing the COO function" and that, after Statoil bought the Carcará prospect, Brazil would be "a very important future growth area".[19][21] Statoil was facing criticism over safety at the time, and Norwegian reports on the move described Nilsson's appointment in that context.[22]

From August to October 2018 Opedal was executive vice president for Development and Production Brazil, a business area that was merged into Development and Production International in January 2021.[4]

Technology, Projects and Drilling (2018 to 2020)

Later in 2018 Opedal was promoted to executive vice president for Technology, Projects and Drilling, the business area responsible for the company's field development projects, drilling and procurement. He held the post until he became chief executive in 2020.[4][1]

Appointment as chief executive (2020)

On August 10, 2020, Equinor's board announced that Opedal would succeed Eldar Sætre as president and chief executive from November 2, 2020. Sætre would stay on as an adviser until he retired on March 1, 2021.[1] Board chair Jon Erik Reinhardsen said the board's mandate to Opedal was "to accelerate our development as a broad energy company and to increase value creation for our shareholders through the energy transition". He added that the board had looked at "a diverse set of male and female candidates" and that the decision was unanimous.[1] Danish trade publication EnergyWatch called him an unexpected choice.[23] According to Dagens Næringsliv, he was the second chief executive of the company recruited from inside, after Sætre.[3] His employment agreement is dated August 9, 2020.[4]

On the day of his appointment Opedal told Dagens Næringsliv that he wanted to "strengthen the ambitions" and make Equinor the leading company in the green shift. He said he was willing to reallocate capital to grow renewable output tenfold by 2026 and thirtyfold by 2035.[3] Asked whether Equinor, then with about 21,000 employees, would be larger or smaller in ten years, he said the company would "gradually become fewer" through departures and retirements, while it continued to recruit.[3]

He took over during a difficult period. In the weeks before he started, Equinor booked further large impairments, many of them on its United States business. A parliamentary hearing on the company's earlier American losses was scheduled for the week he took office, and in October 2020 Sætre and Opedal met Prime Minister Erna Solberg.[5]

Chief executive of Equinor (2020 to present)

First year: reorganisation and new strategy (2020 to 2021)

On November 16, 2020, two weeks after taking office, Opedal announced a new corporate structure and executive committee. From January 1, 2021, Kjetil Hove led Development and Production Norway, Al Cook led a merged Development and Production International business that absorbed the Brazil and Global Strategy units, and Arne Sigve Nylund took over Technology, Projects and Drilling. Margareth Øvrum retired at the end of 2020.[24] In December 2020 he announced further changes, effective June 1, 2021, that made the corporate executive committee 50 percent female.[24] Equinor began reporting renewables as a separate segment from the first quarter of 2021.[24] On his first day in office the company announced its ambition to become a net zero company by 2050.[6][24]

In his first letter to shareholders, for 2020, Opedal described a cost programme set up at the start of the pandemic. It targeted US$3 billion in savings and delivered more than US$3.7 billion. He also acknowledged that "serious incidents at our onshore plants are a stark reminder that we need to further improve our safety performance".[24]

At the capital markets day on June 15, 2021, Opedal presented a strategy to "accelerate our transition while growing cash flow and returns". It set a goal of raising the renewables and low-carbon share of gross capital expenditure from below 5 percent in 2020 to about 50 percent in 2030, with more than US$50 billion gross invested in those areas by 2030. Installed renewable capacity was to reach 12 to 16 gigawatts by 2030, and net carbon intensity was to fall by 40 percent by 2035.[6] He told investors that "the winners of oil and gas will be the competitive barrels with low break-evens, low emissions and with short pay-back time". He also said the company expected to produce less oil and gas from around 2030.[6] He described the Johan Sverdrup field as "the gift that keeps on giving" and announced a full-field breakeven of US$15 per barrel. He also said that "without CCS and hydrogen, there is no viable path to net zero".[6] In 2021 the company took final investment decisions on the Bacalhau field in Brazil and on electrifying Troll West, and left several international assets and countries.[25]

Russia and the European energy crisis (2022)

On February 28, 2022, four days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Equinor's board decided to stop new investment in Russia and to begin leaving its Russian joint ventures. "In the current situation, we regard our position as untenable," Opedal said, adding that the company's first priority was the safety and security of its people.[7] The company had been in Russia for more than 30 years and had a cooperation agreement with Rosneft from 2012. It held US$1.2 billion in non-current assets there at the end of 2021.[7] It booked net impairments of US$1,083 million on its Russian assets in the first quarter of 2022.[4] Equinor also stopped trading Russian oil and oil products.[25] On May 25, 2022 it announced its exit from four joint ventures with Rosneft and an agreement to leave the Kharyaga project. On September 2, 2022 it confirmed that it had no remaining assets or projects in Russia.[8]

In his letter for 2021, written after the invasion, Opedal said that the safety of the company's people and "ensuring stable deliveries of energy to Europe" were its top priorities.[25] High gas prices lifted results in 2022, to net operating income of about US$78.8 billion and net income of about US$28.7 billion.[4]

Executive changes (2022 to 2025)

Opedal made several changes to the executive committee. In May 2022 he hired Hege Skryseth, head of Kongsberg Digital, to lead Technology, Digital and Innovation.[26] In December 2022 he named Philippe François Mathieu head of Exploration and Production International. Mathieu replaced Al Cook, who left to become a chief executive elsewhere.[27] In December 2024 Pål Eitrheim, head of renewables, left for a post outside the company, and Opedal named Jens Økland acting head "at short notice, in a period of record-high activity level within Renewables".[28] Økland was succeeded in September 2025 by Helge Haugane, who became executive vice president of a new Power business area in November 2025.[29] In November 2025 he appointed Camilla Salthe head of Safety, Security and Sustainability from January 1, 2026, succeeding Jannicke Nilsson, his successor as chief operating officer in 2016.[30]

Recalibration of the transition strategy (2024 to 2025)

At the capital markets update on February 7, 2024, Opedal said the company remained "firm on our direction". He reported that renewables and low-carbon solutions made up 20 percent of gross capital expenditure in 2023, on track for about 30 percent in 2025 and above 50 percent in 2030. For the first time, he gave an outlook to 2035.[31]

A year later, on February 5, 2025, he changed course. He said the energy transition was "moving slower than expected" and that "even the massive renewable growth is currently energy addition, not energy transition". Equinor would "retire the gross CapEx ambition", cut investment in renewables and low-carbon solutions to 2027 by 50 percent compared with the previous year's outlook, and lower its 2030 installed renewables target from 12 to 16 gigawatts to 10 to 12 gigawatts, a figure that included its shares in Ørsted and Scatec.[9] He also said that "a competitive, predictable and growing cash dividend has the highest priority when I allocate capital", announced US$9 billion in capital distribution for 2025, and forecast more than 10 percent growth in oil and gas production from 2024 to 2027.[9]

In March 2026 Opedal and Reinhardsen wrote that Equinor had cut its planned capital allocation to low-carbon and renewables investments for 2026 and 2027, "reflecting fewer attractive opportunities at this stage of the market". The company also cut its 2030 net carbon intensity reduction ambition from 15 to 20 percent to 5 to 15 percent, while keeping its target of halving operated scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030.[11]

Capital markets day 2026

At the capital markets day on June 16, 2026, Opedal said that "demand continues to grow and Equinor is uniquely positioned to provide reliable energy". The company would put about 90 percent of capital expenditure into oil and gas and 10 percent into building "an integrated power business", and aimed to grow oil and gas output by 150,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day to 2.3 million by 2030.[12][13] It doubled the 2026 share buyback to US$3 billion and promised annual buybacks of US$2 to 4 billion from 2027, together with annual growth of more than 5 percent in the quarterly cash dividend per share. Opedal said that over 25 years as a listed company Equinor had delivered a total shareholder return "of almost 1,800%".[12]

In the third quarter of 2026 the company raised its production growth guidance for the year to about 4 percent. In the results statement Opedal pointed to record results at the Mongstad refinery, a stake in a gas-fired power plant in the United States, new exploration acreage in Namibia, and progress on the Bay du Nord project in Canada with a new partner.[14]

Leadership and management style

Opedal's background is in engineering and operations, and he often refers to it. Announcing his appointment, the board said that "as the first engineer to become CEO he is passionate about technology, digitalisation and industrial development".[1] At the February 2025 capital markets update he began an example with "as an engineer, I could, of course, talk a lot more about it". He described how artificial intelligence had generated more than one million alternative field layouts and well paths for Johan Sverdrup phase three and added US$12 million in value to the project. He noted that the real gain would come from applying the method across more than 50 Norwegian projects.[9]

His approach to cost and efficiency comes from his time running Statoil's improvement programme. In 2020 he said the main gains had come from working with suppliers to undo work processes, requirements and ways of putting projects together that had added cost during the 2004 to 2014 boom. In his account, this had lowered project break-evens and drilling costs and raised production efficiency.[3] He has repeatedly put safety first in his public remarks. At the February 2025 update he said: "Safety is my first priority and a clear commitment for all leaders and colleagues."[9] The company's annual reports under his leadership record falling serious incident frequency, which reached 0.21 per million hours worked in 2025, the lowest in its history. They also record fatalities, including a supplier's employee killed in a lifting operation at Mongstad in September 2025.[32][11]

Opedal has shown he is willing to reverse strategic targets. In 2020 he spoke of reallocating capital to renewables and of making Equinor "the leading company in the green shift".[3] By 2025 he described the transition as "uneven", said it "must be balanced and financially sustainable", and dropped the gross capital expenditure target he had set.[9] His first executive committee was the company's first with an equal number of women and men.[24]

He has also spoken out on Norwegian politics. In November 2025 he told Dagens Næringsliv that he was "worried that oil and gas policy is being discussed at the budget negotiations". He said that "policy should be discussed in the Parliament, in the usual manner", rather than "behind closed doors". At the company's autumn conference in Oslo he argued that "high interest rates and security have replaced sustainability as the highest political priorities".[33]

Major deals and strategic decisions

  • Russia exit (2022). Equinor stopped new investment and decided to leave its Russian joint ventures on February 28, 2022, and booked US$1,083 million of net impairments. The exit was completed on September 2, 2022.[7][4][8]
  • Ørsted stake (2024 and 2025). On October 7, 2024, Equinor announced it had built a 9.8 percent stake in Ørsted, worth about US$2.5 billion, which made it the second-largest shareholder after the Danish state. Opedal called it "a counter-cyclical investment in a leading developer". The company did not seek a board seat.[10] It later raised the holding to 10 percent, at a cost of US$2.5 billion. In October 2025 it put a further US$0.9 billion into Ørsted's DKK 60 billion rights issue to keep its 10 percent stake.[15]
  • Empire Wind (2024 to 2026). Equinor took 100 percent ownership of the Empire Wind project off New York and reached financial close in 2024.[31][34] On April 16, 2025 the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management ordered all offshore work halted. At that point the project had a gross book value of about US$2.5 billion and had drawn about US$1.5 billion of project finance.[35] When the order was lifted in May 2025, Opedal thanked President Donald Trump "for finding a solution that saves thousands of American jobs", as well as New York governor Kathy Hochul and Norway's prime minister and finance minister.[34] A second suspension order followed on December 22, 2025. A federal court granted a preliminary injunction on January 15, 2026 that allowed construction to resume.[36] Equinor's 2025 annual report records US$1.4 billion of impairment losses in its renewables business, mainly related to Empire Wind and the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, together with early-phase onshore project rights.[15]
  • Peregrino sale (2025). On May 2, 2025, Equinor agreed to sell its 60 percent operated interest in the Peregrino field in Brazil to PRIO for US$3.35 billion plus up to US$150 million in interest.[37]
  • Adura (2024 to 2025). In December 2024 Equinor and Shell agreed to combine their British offshore oil and gas assets in a 50:50 joint venture, named Adura in June 2025. The venture was expected to produce more than 140,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day and was presented as the largest independent producer in the UK North Sea.[38] Opedal said that "after 40 years here in UK, we write the next chapter, creating the largest operator together with Shell".[9]
  • Projects started and sanctioned. The Johan Castberg field in the Barents Sea and the Bacalhau field in Brazil both came on stream in 2025. That year the company also took the investment decision for phase two of the Northern Lights carbon storage project.[32]

Financial and market performance

Equinor's results under Opedal have followed oil and gas prices closely. Figures from the company's annual reports on Form 20-F:

Year Net income (US$) Average employees
2020 Loss of about 5.5 billion[25] 21,700[4]
2021 About 8.6 billion[25] 21,400[4]
2022 28.7 billion[4] 21,500[4]
2023 11.9 billion[39] 23,000[15]
2024 8.8 billion[39] 24,400[15]
2025 5.06 billion[15] 24,700[15]

In 2021, Opedal's first full year, Equinor reported a total shareholder return of 62 percent, and its adjusted net debt ratio fell from 32 percent to below zero.[25] In 2023 he described adjusted earnings of US$36 billion as "our second-best result ever".[31] In 2025 Equinor reported record equity production of 2,137,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, adjusted operating income of US$27.6 billion and a return on average capital employed of 14.5 percent. It paid US$20.5 billion in corporate income taxes, US$19.7 billion of it in Norway.[32] In the third quarter of 2026 it reported net income of US$2.54 billion and equity production of 2,166,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.[14]

Remuneration and shareholding

Equinor's 2025 remuneration report put Opedal's total remuneration at US$2.213 million for 2025, including a base salary of US$1.242 million, compared with US$2.050 million for 2024.[29] The report said the ratio of chief executive pay to average pay for Equinor ASA employees in Norway had fallen from 18.13 in 2012 and 2013 to 14.90 in 2024 and 2025.[29] His Equinor shareholding rose from 32,525 shares at the end of 2020 to 46,996 at the end of 2022 and 73,759 at the end of 2025.[24][4][15]

Board memberships and outside roles

Equinor's annual reports have listed Opedal as having no external offices throughout his time as chief executive, and also when he was chief operating officer.[24][15][16] The filings state that he has no family relations to other members of the corporate executive committee, the board or the corporate assembly.[15] His only publicly recorded directorship outside the parent company was the Statoil Global Employment Limited subsidiary, from 2012 to 2016.[17]

Controversies

Cost cuts and safety

Opedal had led much of Statoil's cost-cutting before he became chief executive. After he took over, the company faced criticism from regulators and analysts over a series of incidents, including a major fire at the Hammerfest LNG plant on Melkøya and oil leaks at the Mongstad refinery. In April 2021 Opedal said that "if we don't carry out improvements and cost-cutting in a good manner, it can be among the reasons we have incidents". He said management was "humble and listening" and accepted "that there can be situations where we haven't always been good enough".[40] According to the same report, the Norwegian ministry that manages the state's 67 percent stake planned to question Equinor over an accounting practice that analysts said mixed one-time gains from renewables farm-downs with operating results.[40]

Empire Wind

Empire Wind drew criticism in Norway. Dagens Næringsliv called the project Equinor's "new turkey", and Sparebank 1 Markets warned it could become "a new Norwegian industrial scandal" like the company's earlier oil sands and onshore drilling ventures in North America.[41] After the April 2025 stop-work order, Opedal said he could not remember being in such "an extraordinary situation". Norway's finance minister, Jens Stoltenberg, helped arrange a meeting between Opedal and Kevin Hassett, an economic adviser to Trump.[41] In February 2025, before the first order, Opedal had defended continuing the project, saying that "moving forward is the best way to create and protect shareholder value" and that stopping would bring substantial cancellation fees.[9]

Retreat from renewables

The February 2025 cuts to renewables spending and targets, and the later lowering of the company's carbon intensity ambitions, were a reversal of the strategy Opedal had set out in 2020 and 2021. Climate activists demonstrated outside Equinor's November 2025 conference in Oslo, where Opedal argued that security had replaced sustainability as the top political priority.[9][11][33]

Personal life

In 2020 Dagens Næringsliv reported that Opedal was married with three children.[3] In 2015 he lived in Sandnes, near Stavanger.[18] Equinor's filings state that he is a Norwegian citizen resident in Norway.[15]
