What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Equinor and its partners have approved the TWIN (Troll West Increased Gas Recovery North) project, involving an investment of over NOK 4 billion, or about $390 million. This project aims to increase gas production from the Troll field in the North Sea, with production expected to begin as early as 2028. The expansion is the third step of Troll Phase 3, designed to maximize gas recovery from the Troll West reservoir.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Troll field currently supplies approximately 10% of Europe's annual natural gas demand, making it a cornerstone of Europe's energy system. This investment strengthens Norway's role as a major gas supplier as Europe seeks to reduce its dependence on Russian energy. Equinor's operations in Norway also contributed NOK 142 billion in value creation in 2025.
