Oil & Energy Hydro is a leading offshore producer of oil and gas based on a strong position in the development of the Norwegian petroleum industry during the past 40 years. Our world-class project execution skills and expertise in deep waters and rough seas help us realize maximum results from our operations in the North Sea and around the world. We are also at the forefront of wind and hydrogen energy production. Historical Timeline 1905: Norsk Hydro founded. Produces plant nutrients. 1907: Builds Europe s largest hydroelectric plant : Hydro faces years of war and stock market crashes. Enhances fertilizer technology and produces ammonia : Expands plant nutrient business. Begins aluminum production and starts petroleum business with exploration in North Sea : Top European fertilizer company. Expands oil production. Acquires aluminum extrusion company and establishes US operations : Agriculture business spun off. Oil and gas projects expand in Russia, Canada and Angola. VAW is acquired making Hydro Aluminum one of the largest integrated global aluminum producers.
