Overview
- Adura is a 50/50 incorporated joint venture that combines Shell and Equinor's offshore U.K. oil and gas operations.
- Output is projected at more than 140,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2026, which Wood Mackenzie indicates would lead the basin.
- The company assumes interests in 12 producing assets, including Mariner, Rosebank, Buzzard, Shearwater, Clair and Schiehallion.
- Headquartered in Aberdeen, Adura employs about 1,200 people transferred from the parents, with Neil McCulloch as CEO and Nicoletta Giadrossi as chair.
- Equinor retains cross-border fields and offshore wind holdings, while Shell keeps SEGAL-linked terminals and other onshore assets, and OEUK warns the windfall tax could stall projects and cost jobs.
