Follow us on a journey into Wintershall's world of oil and gas. 

Wintershall in the Netherlands


The southern sector of the North Sea is one of our traditional core regions. Wintershall is one of the biggest operators in the Netherlands.

Wintershall in Norway

Norway is Europe's most important supplier of crude oil and natural gas alongside Russia. Wintershall significantly expanded its activities in Norway with the founding of the Norwegian subsidiary Wintershall Norge in the middle of the last decade.

Wintershall in Switzerland

Established in 1993, Wintershall Erdgas Handelshaus Zug AG (WIEE) is a joint venture of Wintershall and OAO Gazprom.

Wintershall in Libya

We have had local exploration and production activities in Libya, one of Africa's largest oil producers, since 1958.

Wintershall in Argentina

With activities dating back to 1978, we aim to explore for and produce new resources for decades to come.
Off the coast of Tierra del Fuego is Argentina’s largest offshore production project, in which Wintershall Energía holds a 37.5 percent interest.  Carina and Aries are the two deposits.

Energy for Europe.

Shaping the future! Together with our Russian partner OAO Gazprom, we have been marketing natural gas for Europe since 1990.

Our core regions


We take you on a discovery tour of Wintershall's world of exploration and production.

Energy production with a future

Technical expertise and a gift for discovering innovation are the basis of our business success.

Company Profile

Islands of steel and concrete

Production at sea would not be possible without drilling platforms. Companies use different types, depending on water depth.

Technology in detail: well drilling

To get to oil and gas deposits, you have to drill through recalcitrant rock. Thanks to modern procedures, wells can today be drilled in any direction.

Exploration offshore

Around one quarter of all the world's oil and gas reserves is under water offshore, in Europe the proportion is as high as 90 percent. 

Producing oil and gas

Initially, oil and gas flow from their source unaided. But after a while, they need the help of modern technology. We leave nothing to chance in this process.

Training


Are you interested in training at Barnstorf? Find out more about our vocational training on site.

Life and work at Wintershall's Headquarter


Life and work in the heart of Germany, where the company headquarter of Wintershall is located, has a lot to offer.
I got to know about the program through friends and fellow students. One application later I was on the job.
I first heard about SPEAD from a fellow student, who applied to Wintershall and told me about this newly established program ...
SPEAD was my first step into the company. Wintershall is like a big family and natural to take care to look after our younger colleges.
When I started applying for jobs after my studies, I had a look at what the Wintershall website had to offer and came across the FAST program ...
Even back then, Wintershall was heavily involved in Russia, and I thought it'd be a good opportunity to work in the region later on ...
The FAST program appealed to me straight away. Not only does it give you the chance to get to know various areas of finance, ...
Our employees are as varied as the professions they work in. But each of them makes a significant contribution to our Company's overall success.
