Equinor to Talk With Germany on Buying Oil From Costlier Wells

Norway’s biggest energy producer is to hold talks with major European consumers on whether they would support projects to recover costlier oil and gas supplies.

Equinor ASA will sound out customers, including Germany, on making the longer-term financial commitments needed for the projects, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing a private matter. Government officials from Germany, the UK, Belgium, Poland and the Netherlands are due to attend a May 18 event in Oslo hosted by gas pipeline operator Gassco.
