TOTAL S.A. (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT):
Total has signed a sale and purchase agreement with state-owned
Sonangol of Angola to acquire interests in Blocks 20/11 and 21/09
in the Kwanza Basin, offshore Luanda.
Subject to the approvals of the competent authorities and
partners:
- The Group will hold a 50% working interest, alongside Sonangol
(20%) and BP (30%), in Block 20/11, located in the central Kwanza
Basin in water depths ranging from 300 to 1,700 meters.
- The Group will hold an 80% working interest alongside Sonangol
(20%) in Block 21/09, located in the south-central Kwanza Basin in
water depths ranging from 1,600 to 1,800 meters.
The wells drilled so far in the two blocks have produced four
discoveries — Cameia, Mavinga, Bicuar and Golfinho — and Total and
its partners will seek to unlock the value of these prospects by
creating a development hub. The Group has also committed to explore
for additional potential resources in the blocks.
As part of the agreement, Total will become operator of the
development of the two licenses before putting in place an
operating company together with Sonangol 3 years after the
production start-up.
As per the transaction terms, Total will pay to Sonangol $400
million at closing, to which will be added $100 million at FID and
some additional payments along the life of the project depending on
production and crude oil price for a maximum cumulative amount
capped at $250 million.
“We are very pleased to demonstrate once again our pioneer
spirit and our commitment to continue developing Angola’s energy
sector by becoming the first company to undertake a development in
the Kwanza Basin,” stated Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Total.
“Sonangol welcomes Total as new operator of these strategic
blocks,” added Sebastião Gaspar Martins, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Sonangol. “We are confident that Total’s
recognized offshore expertise will help to quickly unlock
discovered resources in order to continue sustaining the Angola’s
production.”
Total in Angola
Total has been present in Angola since 1953, where it today
employs around 1,500 people. All five of the Group’s business
segments operate in the country: Exploration & Production, Gas,
Renewables & Power, Refining & Chemicals, Marketing &
Services, and Trading & Shipping.
Total’s equity production averaged 211,000 barrels of oil
equivalent per day in 2018 from operated blocks 17 and 32, and from
non-operated assets 0, 14, 14K, and Angola LNG. Total is the
country's leading oil operator with close to 45% of Angola’s
operated oil production.
Total also operates Block 17/06 in the Lower Congo Basin, Block
16, location of the Chissonga discovery — both in development phase
—, and Block 48 in the emerging ultra-deep offshore play and still
in exploration phase.
In the gas sector, Total holds a 13.6% stake in the
5.2-million-ton-per-year Angola LNG liquefaction plant, which is
supplied with associated gas from the country’s producing offshore
oil fields. Total also recently entered the New Gas Consortium as a
key player in developing Angola’s natural gas resources.
