Equinor ASA (EQNR - Free Report) recently announced its exit from all joint ventures in Russia, clinching the title of the first major Western oil producer to completely remove its exposure in the country.

Equinor said that in line with the sanctions legislation of Norway and the European Union against Russia, it has completed its exits from all joint ventures.
It was on Feb 27 that the integrated energy major made the decision to commence the process of exiting its joint ventures in Russia just a few days after the country’s troops invaded Ukraine. With the exit from Russia, Equinor has witnessed a massive impairment of its assets in the country. As of Mar 31, 2022, EQNR witnessed an impairment of $1.08 billion on the balance sheet.
