05:51 AM EDT, 03/24/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Equinor ( EQNR ) is seeking to broaden its US shale gas operations after a reorganization of its worldwide assets, Bloomberg News reported Monday, citing an interview with Vice President for International Exploration and Production Philippe Mathieu.

The energy business is primarily exploring opportunities around the Marcellus region to build upon its existing foundation and generate greater portfolio endurance following a multiyear strategy of divesting older properties to fund new investments, the news outlet quoted Mathieu as saying.

Shares of the company were down 1.4% in Tuesday premarket activity.

Equinor ( EQNR ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
