The adjusted operating result for the fourth quarter ended at 15.1 billion dollars, the company states in a stock exchange announcement (external link). That equates to $5.8 billion after tax.

This corresponds to approximately NOK 234 billion. By comparison, the 2021 result came in at $10 billion after tax. – In 2022, we responded to the energy crisis and contributed to energy security. We delivered solid operations with record high results and cash flow. Equinor CEO Anders Opedal writes in the stock exchange announcement. – We stepped up the capital distribution to the shareholders, while at the same time investing in a balanced energy transition and contributing to society with high tax payments. On the basis of strong results, prospects and balance sheet, we are increasing the capital distribution to the expected 17 billion dollars in 2023. CEO Anders Opedal can smile today.

Commentator in Stavanger Aftenblad, Hilde Øvrebekk, said ahead of the announcement of the result that it was expected. – Analysts have submitted results for a survey they usually have every time before the quarterly results. It showed a decline in the record results we have seen in previous quarters. It’s still a lot of money, and historically the numbers are very high.
