Russia is an important area for Statoil’s international expansion.

We have accumulated considerable experience in Russia – trade ties were established already in 1950, and the first representation office in Moscow was opened in 1988.

At present, we work on the Kharyaga and Shtokman projects, while maintaining and further developing a significant presence in north-western Russia through cooperation with authorities, industries, universities and research centers. Statoil is constantly looking for new business development opportunities in oil and gas projects in Russia with a focus on the Arctic.

We believe Statoil will make significant difference in the further development of the oil and gas industry in Russia with our high focus on technology development, complex project execution skills and the highest standards with respect to Health, Security and Environment (HSE)
