Search every verified Anders Opedal interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Anders Opedal, President and Chief Executive Officer of Equinor, spoke in August 2026 about the need for stability and predictability in the UK’s regulatory framework, particularly regarding the future of the Rosebank oil field. He noted that major energy projects can span multiple election cycles to plan, execute, and generate returns, and argued that changing decisions after project approval raises the bar for future investment. Opedal said Equinor’s joint venture with Shell is handling the Rosebank matter and that the field is an existing discovery, adding that he understood there are different views on energy technologies but believed that once a project is approved, it is not the time for changing minds. Opedal also reaffirmed Equinor’s long-term commitment to supplying oil and gas to the UK, stating the company has done so for decades and will continue to prioritize reliable energy delivery to customers. He cited examples of changing investment conditions in Norway, the US, and the UK, including the Hammerfest LNG project and the Empire Wind offshore wind development, as challenges for large investors. He said he had conveyed the same message about stability and predictability to UK political leaders, including at an investment summit following Keir Starmer’s election, and described this as a fundamental foundation for trust in investment.
