Background Note Contd...
|
In 1974, a giant discovery was made in the North Sea's Statfjord field, and
Statoil was given a 50% stake. A year later, Statoil began exploring for oil and
gas, exporting oil, and commissioning its first subsea oil pipeline, the Norpipe,
which extended to the UK.
In 1986, Statoil's gas pipeline system, the Statpipe, began transporting gas
from the North Sea to the mainland.
Moving into retailing, Statoil acquired Esso's service stations and other
downstream operations in Sweden and Denmark in 1985 and 1986.

In 1990, Statoil and BP teamed up to develop international operations. In 1992,
Statoil acquired BP's service stations in Ireland. Statoil and Neste Chemicals
(later part of Industri Kapital) formed the Borealis petrochemicals group in
1994.
In 1995, Statoil acquired Aran Energy, moving into exploration offshore Ireland
and the UK. Statoil's projects in China and Azerbaijan went onstream in 1997.
That year, Statoil spun off its shipping operations as Navion, partly owned by
Norway's Rasmussen group.
It also contracted with Kvaerner to build a giant offshore gas platform for
Aasgard field in the Norwegian Sea. The Aasgard field project resulted in cost
overruns in 1999, again leading to a top management shakeup. CEO Harald Norvik,
who had advocated partial privatization of Statoil, was replaced by Olav Fjell,
former head of Norway's Postbanken.

As part of a major restructuring in 2000, Statoil sold most assets of US unit
Statoil Energy. Political opposition postponed Statoil's plans for partial
privatization, but the government proceeded with an IPO in 2001. In the process,
it raised about $3 billion.
Risks in Capacity Expansion
Statoil's future production was heavily dependent upon its success in finding or
acquiring and developing additional reserves. If it was unsuccessful, Statoil
might not meet its production targets, and total proven reserves and production
would decline and adversely affect the company. |
Exploratory drilling involved numerous risks including the possibility that
there would be no commercially productive oil or natural gas reservoirs. Statoil
was exploring in various regions, including the Norwegian Sea, the Barents Sea
and deepwater offshore Angola, where environmental conditions were challenging
and costs were high...
