INEOS Energy is the energy division of INEOS. We produce and trade oil, gas, power and liquefied natural gas (LNG). We operate offshore assets across the Danish and UK North Sea, onshore assets in South Texas, and a newly acquired deepwater portfolio in the deepwater of the Gulf of America – alongside low carbon investments, including Project Greensand our carbon storage project in the Danish North Sea, that will help sustain the business through the energy transition.

We also support the wider INEOS group by leveraging our carbon trading capabilities and supplying crude oil, LNG, gas, and power to INEOS's industrial base for deals on pipeline capacity, trucks, storage tanks, and shipping.
