AI-attributed value: USD 130 million (Company-reported); Predictive maintenance value: USD 120 million (Company-reported); Johan Sverdrup phase 3 planning saving: USD 12 million (Company-reported partner saving); Seismic interpretation area: 2 million km² (Company-reported)

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.
