International Exploration & Production (INT) is responsible for exploration, development and production of oil and gas outside the Norwegian continental shelf.

In 2009, the business area was engaged in production in 12 countries: Canada, the USA, Venezuela, Algeria, Angola, Libya, Nigeria, the UK, Azerbaijan, Russia, Iran and China. In 2009, INT produced 26% of Statoil's total equity production of oil and gas, and INT's share is expected to increase significantly in the future.

We have exploration licences in North America (Canada and the USA), Latin America (Brazil, Cuba and Venezuela), Africa (Algeria, Angola, Egypt, Libya, Mozambique, Nigeria and Tanzania), the European and Caspian area (the Faroes, Ireland, the UK and Azerbaijan), and the Middle East and Asia (Iran, India and Indonesia).

The main sanctioned development projects in which we are involved are in Canada, USA, Brazil and Angola, and we believe we are well positioned for further growth through a substantial pre-sanctioned project portfolio including the latest addition, the West Qurna 2 in Iraq. In January 2010 Statoil and Lukoil signed the development and production contract for West Qurna 2 with Iraqi authorities.
