Vår Energi AS is a new leading, independent E&P company on the NCS. The company is the result of the merger of Point Resources AS and Eni Norge AS that was announced in July 2018. Vår Energi is jointly owned by Italy based energy company Eni (69.6 percent) and Norway based specialist oil and gas private equity investor HitecVision (30.4 percent). Vår Energi is the first E&P independent subsidiary of Eni, where the CEO reports to an independent Board of Directors.
Vår Energi has ownership interests in more than 100 licenses and operates oil and gas production across the entire Norwegian shelf; the Goliat field in the Barents Sea, the Marulk field in the Norwegian Sea, and the Balder, Jotun and Ringhorne fields in the North Sea. The company has a best practice operating organisation of 800 employees with over 50 years’ NCS experience, built on the previous companies’ legacies offshore Norway from the 1960s.
In 2019, Vår Energi, the joint venture between Eni and HitecVision finalized the acquisition of ExxonMobil’s upstream assets in Norway, with annual production of 150 kboe/d, for a total consideration of $4.5 billion fully financed by the JV. This strategic deal will make Eni and Vår Energi the second biggest upstream player in Norway and boost the production target to over 350 kboe/d by 2023 thanks to the development of the JV portfolio of projects.
