July 9 (LNGJ) - Equinor, the Norwegian energy company and LNG producer, has acquired energy trading firm Danske Commodities, based in Aarhus in Denmark. The Danish gas and power trading firm has 284 employees. Equinor said that last year Danske Commodities traded 389 terawatt hours of natural gas across 18 countries, around one third of total Norwegian gas production. “Danske Commodities’ trading platform and geographic footprint will support our strategy through leveraging DC’s material trading position in electricity and natural gas,” said Jens Okland, Equinor’s Executive Vice President for Marketing, Midstream and Processing. “Their success has been due to their agility, entrepreneurialism and speed to market. We look forward to welcoming their talented workforce,” added Okland.
