Supermajor Total has announced that its 58 per cent owned affiliate Total Gabon has signed an agreement with Perenco to divest its interests in seven mature non-operated offshore fields, along with its interests and operatorship in the Cap Lopez oil terminal
The transaction remains subject to approval by the Gabonese authorities. The price to be paid by Perenco will be between US$290mn and US$350mn, depending on future Brent prices.
The production divested by Total Gabon amounted to approximately 8,000 SEC barrels of oil per day in 2019.
“This transaction demonstrates our ability to high-grade Total E&P’s portfolio by monetising mature fields with high breakeven point,” commented Arnaud Breuillac, president exploration and production at Total.
“We remain fully committed to Gabon through our operated production clusters at Anguille-Mandji and Torpille-Baudroie-Mérou, where we continue to maximise value for all stakeholders,” he dded.
Total has been operating in Gabon for more than 90 years and is a major player in the country’s upstream and downstream businesses. In 2019, Total Gabon’s SEC production came to around 33,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
