Fossil Energy – Joint Venture
The UK North Sea’s largest independent oil and gas producer is called Adura.
Equinor and Shell made the joint announcement to its staff earlier this week.
With a long-standing presence in the North Sea, the two companies have collaborated closely to identify the new name, rooted in their respective heritage and focused on shaping the future of the basin in the years ahead.
Adura has been created to bring together the A of Aberdeen and the dura of durability. It’s a company built on firm foundations, much like the strong granite synonymous with the city.
The creation of Adura follows the announcement in December 2024 that Equinor and Shell would be combining their UK offshore oil and gas assets and world-class expertise to form a new company.
Adura will sustain domestic oil and gas production and security of energy supply in the UK and beyond, headquartered at the Silver Fin building in Aberdeen city centre.
