Equinor’s £4.5 billion ($5.8 billion) Mariner heavy oil field off the UK is set to challenge the Norwegian company’s effort to portray itself as a supplier of low-carbon oil.
Mariner is expected to start production in the second quarter this year, but Equinor has decided not to equip the field's facilities with a gas export system because it expects gas associated with the oil production to be low after the first years of output.
