2. Who we are
• Energy company present in 34 countries with 20,000 employees
• Produced 1.96 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day in 2009 (equity
production)
• About 22 billion boe in proven resources (5.4 billion as booked reserves)
• One of the world’s largest net sellers of crude oil
• The world's largest operator in waters deeper than 100 metres
• World leader in carbon storage
• The second largest exporter of gas to Europe
3. Our strategy

4. The IT investments are driven by the
exploration, operations and collaboration
ambitions
Exploration Ambitions Operations and Collaboration
• Seismic imaging and interpretation are essential • Integrated operations – real-time communication
for prioritising new opportunities for efficient interaction between experts and
decision-makers, regardless of location
• High Performance Computing (HPC) is essential
for exploration success in sub-salt and other • Improved capability to collaborate and share
geologically complex areas information across the value chain and across
locations to support Statoil’s international growth
5. Why IPv6? – same reasons as everybody else
• Global IPv4 address depletion – some time in 2012
− Ex. http://ipv4.potaroo.net
− Asia to face the biggest challenge over the next years
• Increased mobile connectivity worldwide
• Anywhere, Anytime access for Everything
• New applications developed for IPv6 only
• Protocol enhancements for security, mobility, QoS and performance
• Future end-to-end IP transparency - no NAT and no disjoint IP routing (home,
office, extranet, Internet)

6. A global IT infrastructure supporting local
needs
• IT infrastructure is transparent and support
global business processes in terms of
− Local needs
− Need to be “self-contained”
− Optimized performance
− Compliance
− Need to scale and adapt as business
change
• Utilize global marked for IT services

…is a
transition
technology that
gives full IPv6
connectivity for
IPv6-capable
hosts which are on
the IPv4
10. Implemention - 1
• We have provider independent IPv6 address-space
• IPv6 has been running in our LAB environment for 2 years (isolated LAN, FW and
Internet-access using PA addresses)
• IPv6 is running on all backbone routers in Norway
• IPv6 is running in part of the IT department network
− Some users have been moved to test servers (home disk)
− One of LAB proxies is enabled to support IPv6
− Working on LoadBalancers to be able to support a IPv6 frontend without
changing the IPv4 server backend
11. Implementation - 2
• We are done testing. Todo:
− Decide how to do DNS
− Decide how to do DHCP. Stateless, Statefull of both?
− Enable IPv6 on production server VLAN’s
− Enable IPv6 on production Internet FW’s
− IPv6 support in our global and local Managed Service networks (managed
MPLS-VPN)
− Everywhere (LAN and WLAN)
