STAVANGER, Norway – Equinor is establishing a temporary corporate project to handle both short-term immediate response and long-term implications of the coronavirus and significant fall in oil prices.
The project will be established and structured over the coming days and will be headed by EVP Pål Eitrheim reporting directly to CEO Eldar Sætre. Eitrheim will in this role still be part of the Corporate Executive Committee. SVP Jens Økland will be acting head of NES while Eitrheim is heading this project.
An already working internal project focusing on immediate response and short-term business continuity issues will be incorporated into the new corporate project.
The company has already reduced and delayed non-critical tasks at fields and plants, implemented procedures for working from home, and taken strict travel restrictions and quarantine measures.
