INNOVATION – CROSS-DISCIPLINE SOLUTIONS – DIGITALISATION

Optimise production Low carbon Discover and Unlock low Develop from existing and near solutions for develop frontier and recovery renewable energy field resources Oil & gas deep water areas reservoirs opportunities

5 | Equinor's technology strategy Open Some examples Optimise production from existing and near Subsurface data integration field resources

Capture value of digitalisation, infrastructure and people Automated drilling control Maximise value from NCS and international operations:

• Unlock existing and near field Remotely hydrocarbon potential operated factories • Prolong infrastructure lifetime • Safe and efficient operations

Autonomous inspection

6 | Equinor's technology strategy Open Some examples Low carbon Energy efficient solutions for Subsea oil & gas processing

Reduce emissions and decarbonise processes and products Maximise power generation efficiency Value chain perspective reducing emissions from reservoir to market:

• Energy efficient field development Optimise and operation electrification • Low carbon power and heat supply

• Value chains with carbon capture, Hydrogen utilisation and storage from natural gas with CCUS

7 | Equinor's technology strategy Open Some examples Discover and develop Exploration frontier and deep regional water areas evaluation

Expand sub-surface competence and competitive new field Seismic development solutions interpretation and analysis

Enable production from frontier and deep-water areas: • Improved exploration evaluation Deep-water methods risers • Improved reservoir predictability • Facilities technology enabling deep-water field developments Environmental • Environmental technology and impact competence to provide license to assessment operate

8 | Equinor's technology strategy Open Some examples Unlock low Fracking with recovery reduced water reservoirs consumption

Utilise multi-discipline competence for new recovery solutions Gather dynamic data Maximise value of low recovery reservoirs: Improved fracking and lift solutions • Maximise • Improved reservoir reservoir characterisation and early exposure production solutions for tight reservoirs • Increase recovery and process solutions for heavy oil fields Polymer flooding Maximise value in an environmentally sustainable way

9 | Equinor's technology strategy Open Some examples Develop renewable energy Resource assessment opportunities

Accelerate competence Installation development to define the future methods for floating offshore wind Build a material renewable energy portfolio:

• Optimise cost and efficiency for Emerging wind parks solar photo voltaics • Build competence and respond rapidly to unlock new opportunities (e.g. solar, geothermal) High- temperature • Managing intermittent power geothermal through energy storage wells

10 | Equinor's technology strategy Open Leverage value from technology opportunities

• Digitalisation and automation will dominate technology development in the foreseeable future.

• Innovation and cross-discipline solutions will be essential to strengthen our competitiveness within oil and gas, and to lower carbon emissions.

• The rapid pace of technology development will reshape the energy landscape. The level of impact remains uncertain, but we know the direction of change.

11 | Equinor's technology strategy Open Innovation Cross-discipline solutions Digitalisation

• Essential to provide new solutions with • Superior to solutions developed by • Drives integration of data, hardware, high impact individual disciplines, avoiding sub- disciplines, value chains, industries, optimisation business models and people • Enabler for our strategy • Share knowledge and deliver as a • Includes big data, cognitive learning • Build on our proud heritage of close interaction between suppliers and team and analytics, augmented reality, smart machines and systems, robotic academia • Strengthen our collaboration with suppliers software and automation • Utilise all types of innovation from incremental to disruptive • Learn from other industries and suppliers ahead of us
