What this does not establish
Parent total 2025 value and subcase numbers use different periods; don’t sum or treat as additive. No independent value audit or model architecture.

Disclosure history
AI saved Equinor $130M in 2025
Equinor said AI created $130M in value and savings in 2025 and more than $330M since 2020. Predictive maintenance on 700+ rotating machines with 24,000 sensors accounts for $120M since 2020; AI interpreted 2 million km2 of seismic in 2025 at 10x capacity; and a well-planning tool saved $12M on Johan Sverdrup Phase 3.
Industrial AI portfolio value
Reports value creation and savings for Equinor and partners.
These are company-defined benefits, including partners. The component examples overlap the portfolio total, so adding them again would double-count value.
