Regulatory News:
Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) announces the final
investment decision (FID) to develop the Anchor oil field.
Additionally, front-end engineering and design (FEED) has begun for
the North Platte discovery. Both projects are located in the
deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Louisiana.
FID for Anchor Project
Total holds a working interest of 37.14% in Anchor, alongside
operator Chevron (62.86%).
The Anchor field will be developed with seven subsea wells
connected to a semi-submersible floating production unit (FPU) with
a capacity of 75,000 barrels of crude oil and 28 million cubic feet
of gas per day. First oil is expected in 2024.
Anchor will be the first development to use the high-pressure
20,000-pounds-per-square-inch (20 kpsi) technologies developed at
industry level over the last few years.
Total also holds interests with Chevron in other leases in the
vicinity of Anchor with exploration potential. Any discoveries on
those jointly owned leases could be tied back to the Anchor
facilities at competitive costs.
FEED Launched for Offshore North Platte Discovery
The North Platte field straddles four blocks of the Garden Banks
area, 275 kilometers off the coast of Louisiana in approximately
1,300 meters of water. The reservoir is of high quality, both in
porosity and permeability, with thickness in places exceeding 1,200
meters.
Like Anchor, North Platte requires the use of 20 kpsi
technologies. The field development plan is based on eight subsea
wells and two subsea drilling bases connected via two production
loops to a newbuild, lightweight floating production unit (FPU).
Production will be exported through existing oil and gas subsea
networks.
Total operates North Platte with a 60% working interest,
alongside Equinor (40%). Oil production at plateau level is
expected to average 75,000 barrels per day. Output will include
associated gas. Total also holds interests in high-potential
exploration acreage in the Greater North Platte Area, and the FPU
design provides for a possible future tie-in.
“The FID for Anchor and the decision to launch FEED for North
Platte are tangible examples of our strategy to increase our
footprint in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The Anchor project
benefits from reserves with upsides, allowing for a stand-alone
development at a competitive cost. The North Platte project,
meanwhile, marks Total’s return to the region as an operator. We’re
aiming for a final investment decision in 2021,” stated Arnaud
Breuillac, President, Exploration & Production at Total.
“These two high-pressure, 20 kpsi projects will help to unlock the
potential of the Central Area of the Gulf of Mexico, where Total
has a strong presence.”
Total Exploration & Production in the United
States
Total has been active in Exploration & Production in the
United States since 1957. In 2018, the Group’s production in the
country averaged 119,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
In the Gulf of Mexico, Total focuses on deepwater acreage. The
Group holds working interests in two Chevron-operated producing
fields — Jack (25%) and Tahiti (17%) — and is a co-owner in
developing the Anchor and Ballymore projects, also operated by
Chevron. Additionally, Total operates the North Platte development
and holds working interests in 109 exploration licenses.
Onshore, Total is an operator in the Barnett Shale Gas Play with
a net production of 71,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in
2018. The Group also has a 25% interest in an asset in the Utica
Shale Play.
