    Equinor 2024 Payments to governments
Introduction
Equinor has prepared a report on payments to governments in
accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act §2-10 and the Norwegian
Security Trading Act §5-5a. The companies involved in extractive and
logging activities are required to disclose payments made to governments
at project and country level and additional contextual information,
consisting of certain legal, monetary, numerical and production volume
information, related to the extractive part of the operations or to the entire
group.
Executive summary
Equinor is engaged in upstream activities in several countries across the
globe. In 2024, the countries where Equinor made payments to
governments included Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Brazil,
Canada, Libya, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, the UK and the USA. The
total value contribution from these upstream activities in host countries
amounts to USD 23 billion, of which taxes paid amounted to USD 20 billion,
whereas royalties, fees, bonuses, and host government entitlements
amounted to USD 3 billion.
Basis for preparation
The regulation requires Equinor to prepare a consolidated report for the
previous financial year on direct payments to governments, including
payments made by subsidiaries, joint operations and joint ventures, or on
behalf of such entities involved in extractive activities. These activities
include exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of
oil and natural gas.
    Equinor 2024 Payments to governments
Reporting principles
The report includes payments made directly by
Equinor to governments, such as taxes and royalties.
Payments made by the operator of an oil and/or gas
licence on behalf of the licensed partners, such as
area fees, are also included in this report. For assets
where Equinor is the operator, the full payment made
on behalf of the whole partnership (100%) is included.
No payment will be disclosed in cases where Equinor
is not the operator, unless the operator is a state-
owned entity and it is possible to distinguish the
payment from other cost recovery items.
Host government production entitlements paid by the
licence operator are also included in the report. The
size of such entitlements can in some cases constitute
the most significant payments to governments.
For some of our projects, we have established a
subsidiary to hold the ownership in a joint venture. For
these projects, payments may be made to
governments in the country of operation as well as to
governments in the country where the subsidiary
resides.
Payments to governments are reported in the year
that the actual cash payment was made (cash
principle). Amounts included as contextual
information are reported in the year the transaction
relates to (accrual principle), regardless of when the
cash flows occurred, except for Income tax paid (cash
principle). Amounts are subject to rounding. Rounding
differences may occur in summary tables.
Government
In the context of this report, a government is defined
as any national, regional or local authority of a
country. It includes any department, agency or
undertaking (i.e. corporation) controlled by that
government.
Project definition
A project is defined as the operational activity
governed by a single contract, licence, lease,
concession or similar legal agreement and that forms
the basis for payment obligations to a government.
Payments not directly linked to a specific project but
levied at the company entity level, are reported at
that level.
Materiality
Payments constitute a single payment, or a series of
related payments that equal or exceed 800,000
NOK (USD 70,400) during the year. Payments below
the threshold in a given country will not be included in
the overview of projects and payments.
Reporting currency
Payments to governments in foreign currencies
(other than USD) are converted to USD using the
average annual 2024 exchange rate.
Reporting segments
Equinor’s payments to governments are made
through the reporting segments Exploration &
Production Norway, Exploration & Production
International and Exploration and Production USA.
For more information on Equinor’s reporting
segments, reference is made to the 2024 Integrated
annual report published on our website: equinor.com/
reports.
Payment types disclosed at project or legal
entity level that are relevant for Equinor
The following payment types are disclosed for legal
entities involved in extractive activities. They are
presented on a cash basis, net of any interest
expenses, whether paid in cash or in-kind. In-kind
payments are reported in millions of barrels of oil
equivalent and the equivalent cash value.
Tax levied on the income, production or profits of
companies includes severance tax and taxes paid
in-kind. The value of taxes paid in-kind is
calculated based on the market price at the time
of the in-kind payment. Taxes levied on
consumption, such as value added tax, CO₂ fees,
personal income tax, sales tax, withholding tax,
property tax and environmental tax are excluded.
Negative amounts represent tax refunds received
from governments
Royalties are usage-based payments for the right
to the ongoing use of an asset
Fees are typically levied on the right to use a
geographical area for exploration, development
and production and include rental fees, area fees,
entry fees, concession fees and other
considerations for licences and/or concessions.
Administrative government fees that are not
specifically related to the extractive activities or
to access extractive resources, are excluded
Bonuses are payments made when signing an oil
and gas lease, when discovering natural
resources and/or when production has
commenced. Bonuses often include signature-,
discovery- and production bonuses and are a
commonly used payment type, depending on the
petroleum fiscal regime. Bonuses can also include
elements of social contribution
Host government production entitlements are the
host government’s share of production after oil
production has been allocated to cover costs and
expenses under a production sharing agreement
(PSA). Host government production entitlements
are most often paid in-kind. The value of these
payments is calculated based on the market price
at the time of the in-kind payment. For some PSAs,
the host government production entitlements are
sold by the operator, and the related costs are
split between the partners. For these contracts,
Equinor does not make payments directly to
governments, but to the operator

Contextual information at country level
The report discloses contextual information for legal
entities engaged in extractive activities in Equinor, as
listed below. All information is disclosed in accordance
with the accrual accounting principle.
Investments are defined as additions to property,
plant and equipment (including leases),
capitalised exploration expenditures, intangible
assets, long-term share investments and
investments in associated companies
Revenues associated with the production of crude
oil and natural gas related to our extractive
activities. Revenues include third party revenues
and other income, inter-segment revenues and
net income/ (loss) from equity accounted
investments. Cost shows the sum of operating
expenses, SG&A (sales, general and
administrative expenses) and exploration
expenses, adjusted for net impairments
Equity production volumes are the volumes that
correspond to Equinor’s ownership interest in a
field and do not include production of the
Norwegian State’s share of oil and natural gas
Contextual information at entity level
The following contextual information is disclosed for
all of Equinor’s legal entities as of 31 December 2024.
The information is structured based on country of
incorporation, which is the jurisdiction in which the
company is registered.
Country of operation is the country where the
company performs its main activities
The description of the core business activity is
presented according to the business areas where
the business operations take place. Each
company is associated to a business area as
shown in the contextual information at Equinor
group level.
Number of employees (per company) is based on
the registered company location. The actual
number of employees present in a country can
deviate from the reported figures due to
expatriation. In some companies there are no
employees. These may purchase man-hours from
other companies in the Equinor group, as
applicable
Net intercompany interest is the company’s net
intercompany interest expense (interest expense
minus interest income) to companies in another
jurisdiction. Interest between companies within the
same jurisdiction is eliminated. Intercompany
interest is the interest levied on long-term and
short-term borrowings within the Equinor group
Revenues as presented in the Consolidated
statement of income in the 2024 annual report
include third party revenues and other income,
inter-company revenues and net income/ (loss)
from equity accounted investments
Income before tax, as presented in the
Consolidated statement of income in the 2024
annual report
Income tax expense, as defined in note 11 of the
Consolidated financial statements in the 2024
annual report
Income tax paid are reconciled to the amount
presented in the Consolidated statement of cash
flows in the 2024 annual report and in addition
include taxes paid in-kind in Algeria, Libya, and
Nigeria
Retained earnings include the gains and losses
accumulated by the companies together with
currency translation adjustments and other
comprehensive income. Being part of
shareholders equity, retained earnings are
presented as reported in Equinor accounting
system for consolidation purposes
Retained earnings can be impacted by the
dividend paid, group contributions and
reclassifications between paid in capital and
retained earnings. The retained earnings as
presented in this report may be different
compared to the figures in the statutory financial
statement due to the differences in functional
currency and accounting principles for group
reporting versus local requirements.
The parent company’s shares in subsidiaries are
not considered for impairment when the local
statutory reporting is based on accounting
principles different from IFRS® Accounting
Standards or there are no local statutory
requirements for impairment since these effects
would be eliminated on the group reporting.
    Equinor 2024 Payments to governments
Consolidated overview
The consolidated overview below discloses the sum
(total) of Equinor’s payments to governments in each
country, according to the payment type. The overview
is based on the location of the receiving government.
The total payments to each country may be different
from the total payments disclosed in the overview of
payments for each project in the report. This is
because payments disclosed for each project relate
to the country of operation, irrespective of the
location of the receiving government. In 2024, there
has been a significant decrease in tax payments
mainly due to lower oil and gas prices.

Contextual information at Equinor group level
The table below is an overview of all legal entities in
the Equinor group by country of incorporation as of
31 December 2024. It presents the following
information per each company: the number of
employees, net intercompany interest to companies in
other jurisdictions, short description of the company’s
activity, revenues including intercompany revenues,
income before tax, current income tax expense,
income tax paid and retained earnings. The total
amounts are reconciled to the Group Consolidated
financial statements in the 2024 annual report and
prepared in compliance with IFRS Accounting
Standards. The numbers in the Contextual
information table based on the country of operation
may deviate from the table based on the country of
incorporation, as country of operation could be
different than country of incorporation. Prior period
corrections are reflected in the current year, normally
due to statutory reporting
finalized after the annual report. Retained earnings
as presented in the table below will be decreased by
the dividend paid and increased or decreased by
group contributions and reclassifications between
paid in capital and retained earnings.

To the Board of Directors of Equinor ASA
Independent accountant’s limited assurance report
on the Report on payments to governments
Scope
We have been engaged by Equinor ASA to perform a limited assurance engagement, as defined by International
Standards on Assurance Engagements, here after referred to as the engagement, to report on Equinor ASA’s
Report on the payments to governments (the “Report”) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Criteria applied by Equinor ASA
In preparing the Report, Equinor ASA applied the Norwegian Accounting Act §2-10, the Norwegian Security Trading
Act §5-5a, Forskrift om land-for-land rapportering and the reporting principles as set out in the Report (the
“Criteria”); As a result, the information may not be suitable for another purpose.
Equinor ASA’s responsibilities
Equinor ASA’s Board of Directors and management are responsible for selecting the Criteria, and for presenting the
payments to governments in accordance with that Criteria, in all material respects. This responsibility includes
establishing and maintaining internal controls, maintaining adequate records, and making estimates that are relevant
to the preparation of the Report, such that it is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
EY’s responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the presentation of the Report based on the evidence we have
obtained.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard for Assurance Engagements Other
Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information (‘ISAE 3000 (Revised)’), and the terms of reference for this
engagement as agreed with Equinor ASA on 02 January 2025. Those standards require that we plan and perform
our engagement to express a conclusion on whether we are aware of any material modifications that need to be
made to the payments to governments in order for it to be in accordance with the Criteria, and to issue a report. The
nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risk of
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited assurance
conclusion.
Our independence and quality management
We have maintained our independence and confirm that we have met the requirements of the Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, and have the required
competencies and experience to conduct this assurance engagement.
EY also applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits
or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services engagements, which requires that we
design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding
compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Description of procedures performed
Procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than
for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance
engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance
engagement been performed. Our procedures were designed to obtain a limited level of assurance on which to base
our conclusion and do not provide all the evidence that would be required to provide a reasonable level of
assurance.
Although we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls when determining the nature and
extent of our procedures, our assurance engagement was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.
Our procedures did not include testing controls or performing procedures relating to checking aggregation or
calculation of data within IT systems.
      Equinor 2024 Payments to governmentsPayments to governments
A limited assurance engagement consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for preparing the
Report and related information, and applying analytical and other appropriate procedures.
Our procedures included:
Inquiries with management and relevant personnel to obtain an understanding and to evaluate the
appropriateness of methods and procedures used in the preparation of the Report;
Based on our understanding, the use of analytical procedures to identify and discuss any unusual movements in
the information presented in the Report compared to the prior year;
On a sample basis, verification of clerical accuracy and nature of payments disclosed in the Report;
Reconciliation of the information presented in the Report to the underlying records and documentation on a
sample basis;
Assessment of the appropriateness of the payments in the Report in respect of the defined Criteria; and
Assessment of the appropriateness of the governing policy (WR2665) related to preparation of the Report.
We also performed such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
Conclusion
Based on our procedures and the evidence obtained, we are not aware of any material modifications that need to be
made to the Report for the year ended 31 December 2024, in order for it to be in accordance with the Criteria.
