Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Company is a passthrough company and does not have any gross profit or loss. The total comprehensive loss in 2024 is due to a foreign exchange loss, interest payable and taxation. The Company closely monitors and manages its liquidity risk including assessing its net asset/liability position to ensure that it request access to additional funds to meet forecast cash requirements should it be required. The Directors have obtained a parental letter of support, from the immediate parent Equinor UK Limited as of the date of sign off of these financial statements for a period of at least 12 months. This coupled with the going concern assessment performed on Equinor UK Limited itself has provided the Directors with sufficient assurance that the Company will continue as a going concern over the period to 30 September 2026 (the going concern period). Based on the above, together with the Directors' knowledge and experience of the market, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.”
Significant events
- “On 5th December 2024, Equinor and Shell decided to merge their UK upstream business to create the biggest independent oil and gas company on the UK Continental Shelf. On deal completion, Equinor Production UK Limited will be jointly owned by Equinor (50%) and Shell (50%).”
