As a staple of everyday life, energy and utility bills are something we are all too familiar with. However, have you ever stopped to think about the ins and outs of how this energy is supplied to your home, to power your hot shower, or cook your Friday night dinner? Even the screen on which you are reading this, uses energy and utilities in many different forms. As such, the production of energy is really what makes the world go round, and permeates into not only our homes, but all aspects of our lives. Hence why industries surrounding energy and utilities are deserving of a publication due to the integrity of their use in the everyday world.
In this issue, we are particularly looking at regions like South Africa, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and many more successful locations. A common aim of all these businesses, however, is to develop the industry to become more sustainable. This is vital if we are to create a safer environment for future generations. Consequently, this is a key challenge that many energy companies are combatting, in a way that uses natural resources responsibly whilst still promoting growth.
Another key objective is to provide help to the local communities in which many of these companies operate. This is really nice to see, as it suggests a symbiotic relationship between the different companies and the people, adding some heart-warming stories to the wider narratives of success.

Bapco Refining
Bahrain is a vital country in the development of oil across the Arabian Gulf. The country was home to the first oil well developed across the region, and so has long played a strategic role in developing Bahrain’s oil industry on both local and international scales. To oversee this expanding industry, Bapco Refining was established by the government of Bahrain to oversee the country’s oil and gas sector and deliver significant economic benefits for the country for many years to come.
Established in 1929, Bapco Refining began its operations with the discovery of vast oil potential in the region. From this first vital discovery, Bapco Refining, originally owned by the Standard Oil Company of California and now under the ownership of the Government of Bahrain, quickly took the lead in pioneering the country’s oil and gas sector. Today, the company is responsible for refining 267,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil, and through this work, it strategically empowers and ensures the success of Bahrain’s energy industry. Throughout every aspect of its operations, Bapco Refining remains focused on leveraging its best practices to deliver significant value for its shareholders, customers and employees in the process.
Bapco Refining’s operations centre around the refining, storage and marketing of oil, with a 6th of the company’s total oil operations stemming from the rich oil deposits found in Bahrain alone. The rest of the oil refined by Bapco Refining is sourced from Saudi Arabia and is pumped through Bapco Refining’s facilities before it is stored in 170 storage tanks located across Bahrain. All of the oils delivered by Bapco Refining are marketed towards local and international downstream markets in the form of petroleum and exported on behalf of the Government of Bahrain. The entire operation of Bapco Refining aims to support Bahrain’s role in the development of its crude oil markets across the world.
Now almost a century since it began, Bapco Refining has set out on the Bapco Modernisation Programme (BMP) which will see the multi-billion-dollar venture significantly shake up the country’s oil industry to meet the needs of today and set up the foundations so that Bahrain can remain a key oil producer for many years to come. BMP aims firstly to increase Bahrain’s refining capacity to produce more products that can be sold both in and outside of the country. A key part of this is to ensure that Bapco Refining’s operations can meet an increasing oil demand, whilst also improving the energy efficiency of its operations to enhance its oil output. This aims to help maintain Bahrain’s competitive edge in international markets.
The project aims to set up 21 new operating units, 15 new substations as well as hydrocracking units, a new crude and vacuum unit and a sulphur plant. A key part of the development is the construction
Leading Bahrain’s
of the Resid Hydrocracking Unity (1RHCU), which will be powered by a technology license from Chevron Lummus Global. The unit will be among one of the largest on the planet, encompassing a two-train capacity of 65,000 bpd, which will convert 78% of vacuum resid feed into intermediate production which will be processed to produce kerosene and diesel. In addition to the RHCU, a second VGO Hydrocracking Unit is planned which will receive raw feed from the new and existing crude distillation units and covert the product in the higher margin final products.
In addition to the hydrocracking units, the BMP will implement a vital upgrade to Bapco Refining’s facilities including a Crude Distillation Unit and a Vacuum Distillation Unit. These will replace the existing crude and vacuum distillation units that have been in operation for almost 80 years. The new units are designed to provide the required feedstock for further downstream processing supported by their new maximised output capacity that aims to optimise yield performance which

reduces the amount of energy used to operate. The units will transform crude oil into valuable petroleum products such as LPG, naphtha, kerosene and diesel. The remaining oil not used to produce the petroleum products, will then be fed into the hydrocracking units for further processing.
The final vital part of the BP is the development of the #3 Sulphur Plant, which will treat sulphur recovery, amine and sour water. It will encompass 11 separate integrated process units and will recover hydrogen sulphide from the BMP Units’ process and turn it into liquid sulphur. This liquid sulphur is then converted into solid pastilles which can then be exported to other countries. The plant will cover three Sulphur Recovery Units (SRUs), two Tail Gas Treating Units (TGTUs), two Bulk Acid Gas Removal Units (BAGRUs), two Amine Regeneration Units (ARUs) and two Sour Water Stripping Units (SWSs), leading
to a total sulphur production installed capacity of 1,535 metric tons a day.
As we have seen, the BMP aims to significantly step up Bahrain’s oil production capacity to bring vital petroleum products to market and solidify its place within the international energy marketplace. This vital investment into the country’s energy industry underlines the government of Bahrain’s commitment to delivering vital economic development across the Kingdom, whilst establishing itself as a key contributor towards the country’s GDP for the benefit of all those living in Bahrain.
This commitment to developing the future of global energy industries was reinforced with the announcement of a vital partnership between Bapco Refining and TotalEnergies in July. The global Bapco Energies recently signed an agreement with
TotalEnergies announcing a strategic partnership agreement between the two companies for the trading of petroleum products. The agreement marks a vital milestone between the two companies, as well as with the Kingdom of Bahrain, and aims to cement Bapco Refining’s place within the international energy markets.
The partnerships hope to create substantial value for both companies, bringing together Bapco Refining’s oil networks, with TotalEnergies’ expertise in the petroleum trading market. Together, both companies aim to utilise each other’s networks to expand their reach and influence across the global market. Furthermore, the partnership will also aim to bring social and economic development across the partnership to deliver significant economic benefits for locals in the process.
This agreement comes following the two companies announcing in March that TotalEnergies would support Bapco Energies in the optimisation of its Sitra refinery. The refinery is currently undergoing an expansive upgrading project, and once completed will be future optimized across the partnership for the trading of its petroleum products. TotalEnergies will utilise its global oil and feedstock networks, as well as expertise across the refining and trading oil market to help Bapco Refining maximise its value from the Sitra refinery for Bahrain.
Mark Thomas, Group CEO of Bapco Energies outlined that the collaboration between the two companies will “bring incremental value to the Kingdom of Bahrain and Bapco energies through the application of TotalEnergies’ global expertise in product trading and feedstock optimization.”. Thomas continues, “We are looking forward to
Leading Bahrain’s Oil Industry
partnering with TotalEnergies to building the Bapco Energies brand as a reliable and trusted global supplier of quality products”. We can see from Thomas’ comments that this strategic partnership is one that aims to deliver significant value for Bahrain’s oil industry, and so meets the commitments laid out by Bapco Refining in positioning Bahrain’s oil as a key player in the global oil and energy markets. Overall, we have seen how Bapco Refining remains a vital company set on delivering significant economic and social value for the Kingdom of Bahrain through its strategic partnership with global players in the energy industry such as TotalEnergies, as well as in its current modernisation programme which looks set on bringing the vital infrastructure needed to supper the country’s energy demand of today, whilst actively working to protect the world of tomorrow.
Heritage Petroleum Company Limited
The energy market in Trinidad and Tobago has been rapidly expanding over the years with many big names across the energy sector playing a vital role in its development both onshore and offshore. Every year the region exports billions of dollars’ worth of crude oil to local and international customers. Crude oil developments in Trinidad and Tobago are overseen by the government, and in 2018 Heritage Petroleum Company Limited (Heritage) was formed as a stateowned oil and gas company with a focus on the exploration, development, production and marketing of crude oil for the nation. Heritage now plays a vital role in harnessing the crude oil potential of Trinidad and Tobago for the continued economic prosperity it brings the region. However, throughout every operation, you can see Heritage’s commitment to safety, environmental protection and social responsibility to ensure that the energy sector can support the region’s people both today and in the future.
Incorporated in 2018, Heritage is a relatively new company operating within Trinidad and Tobago’s energy sector. Its operations began in the southern part of Trinidad and Tobago, and this is where the bulk of its operations exist today. In the last 6 years, the company has continued to develop and Heritage now has various nonoperated assets off the east coast of Trinidad too. Across these assets, Heritage’s central vision is to be a company that brings together financial profitability, operational excellence and a plethora of world-class expertise within the oil and gas sector to deliver energy projects that will further consolidate Trinidad and Tobago’s position as an energy powerhouse in global markets.
Heritage’s operations span 5 key areas: offshore, land, business development, subsurface and midstream operations. Across its offshore operations, Heritage plans, executes and operates a range of upstream projects within the Soldado Fields. Within this rich oil area, Heritage has developed surface and subsurface activities, which are delivering significant oil results offshore from Trinidad and Tobago. Then, in understanding Heritage’s subsurface operations, we must look at its Field Development Plan (FDP). The FDP is utilised across all of Heritage’s subsurface operations to develop and execute vital drilling programmes which will maximise the recoverables from each drilling operation and bring significant and longlasting benefits from its current and future fields of operations. A key project of this division currently is to extend the existing boundaries of many of its current fields to see higher recoverable reserves.
On land, Heritage is responsible for drilling and workover activities designed to increase the production of crude oil. Across this division, Heritage’s teams work to discover new oil deposits and put together strategic drilling programmes that are designed to enhance Trinidad and Tobago’s existing reservoirs. Throughout all of its land assets, Heritage maintains and develops each operation to meet its production targets and to deliver vital energy to the people of Trinidad and Tobago. Alongside its land operations, are Heritage’s midstream development operations which are focused on receiving crude oil from offshore, land and lease oil operators, and delivering this to the Paria Fuel Trading Company which refines and sells the crude oil products to local markets within Trinidad and Tobago.

Heritage Petroleum Company Limited
Across all of these operations, we can see that Heritage Petroleum is committed to providing vital profitability legacy for Trinidad and Tobago by being a company that is passionate about developing the oil and gas sector towards the future of energy development. This drive for future development was highlighted in April 2024, when Heritage announced the commissioning of a new offshore well within the Soldado East Field development block. The offshore well, S-938, is the third well to be put into production by Heritage in the region since the beginning of its Offshore Drilling programme. The drilling began in August 2023 following rigorous design and engineering development by Heritage’s teams of exports. The topsides of the well were completed in March 2024 and then underwent inspection and statutory approvals before it was fully commissioned. With an expected average daily rate of 500 barrels per day (bopd), S-938 looks set to provide a significant boost to the company’s revenue, and in turn the economy of Trinidad and Tobago. Now completed, the well is a vital asset
for Heritage in the Soldado East Field, which will position Trinidad and Tobago’s energy development prominently within the global energy market.
CEO of Heritage, Erik Keskula, actually commented in the press release announcing the commissioning of the new well that the well will be operated with “a goal of optimising fluid production rate to maximise oil recovery and cash flow”. Keskula’s comments were followed by his emphasis on the importance of the new well highlighting Heritage’s performance and role in developing new offshore wells and facilities. By playing a vital role in this, it seems Heritage is set on shaping the future of oil development for Trinidad and Tobago for many years to come.
In fact, as Heritage looks towards the future of the S-938 development, it is anticipated that 3 additional wells will be commissioned in the next few months. This will be a vital part of Heritage’s ongoing Offshore Drilling programme. What is clear to see across this development is that Heritage is committed to delivering a well that will
Sustainable Energy Development
see economic and energy development for the region, and in return see significant returns for its stakeholders which include the government and people of Trinidad and Tobago as a priority.
Ultimately, Heritage is a company that is set on shaping the future of Trinidad and Tobago’s energy sector. Having been established as the state-owned oil and gas company that will be leading the exploration, production, development and marketing of crude oil, Heritage has made it its mission to ensure that every single operation delivers significant positive impacts on the local stakeholders and people of Trinidad and Tobago. With a development plan set on expanding its exploration both onshore and offshore, we look forward to seeing how Heritage will continue to play a vital role in leading Trinidad and Tobago’s energy sector towards a future where social, environmental and economic development remains at the heart of the region’s energy sector.
TotalEnergies E&P Angola
TotalEnergies is an international integrated energy company on a mission to develop its energy portfolio spanning from oil to biofuels, natural gas, green gases, renewables and even electricity. With more than 100,000 employees across its 120 countries of operation, TotalEnergies works to strategically develop vital energy resources to ensure that people across the world have access to reliable, affordable and more sustainable energy options. A key area for development in recent months has been in Angola, where TotalEnergies has a diversified portfolio of deep offshore operated assets which account for almost 50% of the country’s oil production. The global giant has set out on a range of partnerships with leading local and international energy brands to bring the offshore potential of Angola into economic benefits.
The Kwana Basin in Angola is home to rich and economically lucrative hydrocarbons which are vital for the production of petroleum. The basin is the first to have undergone vital exploration and development, and so has played a vital role in the continued expansion of the energy sector for Angola and the surrounding countries of west southern Africa. Across this area, TotalEnergies operates several deep and ultra-deep offshore oil licences in production, including Block 17 containing 4 major oil fields including the Girassol, Dalia, Paxflor and CLOV which combined have developed the block into a thriving hub for Angola under TotalEnergies. Other key development includes Block 32 with the Kaombo Development, and Blocks 0, 14 and 14K. All of these operations take place across the Lower Congo Basin and Kwanza Basin.
The Kaombo project in Block 32 is an innovative ultra-deepwater offshore project in Angola spanning the Gengibre, Gindungo, Caril, Canela, Mostarda, and Louro oil fields. The project, in which TotalEnergies has a 30% stake, is unique and complex as its operations take place in water depths of up to 1950 metres, and so is subject to extreme temperature and pressure conditions. This requires a specialised type of technology to achieve, however, the entire project aligns with TotalEnergies’ strategy of developing ultra-deep offshore projects. The project’s reserves are estimated to produce 658 million barrels, with 230,000 barrels per day capacity. However, to access all of the oil deposits across the 6 fields under the project it required TotalEnergies to install 59 wells. These wells make it one of the largest subsea well systems in Angola, and a great technical achievement for TotalEnergies.
To manage the capacity and control the cost of the operations, TotalEnergies built two new floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels; Kaombo Norte and Kaombo Sul. Production began from Kaombo Norte in 2018 across the Gengibre, Gindungo and Caril fields, with Kaombo Sul producing oil just eight months later from the remaining Canela, Mostarda and Louro fields. Each vessel can produce 115,000 barrels per day and continues to develop the oil industry for Angola every day. A recent development for TotalEnergies in Angola is the Kaminho Project which is the first

large deepwater development to take place in the Kwanza Basin. The project will take place in Block 20/11 to develop the Cameia and Golfinho fields which are located just 100km off the coast of Angola at a depth of 1700 metres. The project just saw a Final Investment Decision announced between TotalEnergies (40%), Petronas (40%) and Sonangol (20%). The project would see a very large crude carrier (VLCC) converted to a FPSO to be connected to the two oil fields. However, the FPSO has been designed to be sustainable, with its role to process large capacities of oil underpinned by a system which would minimise greenhouse gas emissions and eliminate routine flaring throughout the operations. The project is expected to start production in 2028 and deliver a plateau of 70,000 barrels of oil per day from the oil fields onboard the FPSO.
However, the development of the Kaminho project will do so much more than just deliver significant oil potential for the region, instead, it will bring with it significant employment with over 10 million man-hours of construction and development needed to get the project running. This will provide significant employment and business opportunities to local people and yards across the country and add economic benefits to those in Angola in the process.
Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, Patrick Pouyanné, highlighted in the press release that “Building on our pioneering spirit and our longterm partnership with Angola, we are pleased to launch the Kaminho project along with our strategic partners, Sonangol and Petronas, and with the strong support and confidence of the Angolan authorities. This project, which leverages innovation to fit our investment criteria - breakeven under 30 $/b and carbon intensity of 16kg CO2 –will become our seventh FPSO in the country and the first to ever develop in the Kwanza Basin”. Pouyanné’s comments here highlight the vast and expansive role the project will play in Angola, and the first of its kind to develop in this rich deposit basin. Its strategic partnerships with these other giant energy companies signify a joint commitment to developing the energy industry towards a future of accessible and reliable energy access.
However, Pouyanné continues “We look forward to joining forces with Sonangol in technology to promote innovation and low-carbon technology for the energy industry in Angola, in particular to slash methane emission and contribute to the diversification of Angola’s energy mix”. Here Pouyanné highlights the push towards sustainability that underpins all operations facilitated by TotalEnergies. Throughout every operation, the company is focused on delivering energy facilities in the most sustainable way possible, and here in Angola, this is the same with the strategic signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Sonangol EP. Sonangol will share its expertise in research and technology in order to deliver the FPSO for the project that focuses on decarbonizing the oil and gas industry. In particular, the pair will focus on reducing methane emissions and developing renewable energies to continue to develop the Kaminho project and Angola’s energy industry towards a sustainable future.
TotalEnergies EP Angola has spent the last 70 years developing Angola’s energy industry towards a sustainable and economically viable future thanks to its work to develop the upstream oil and gas industry. With multiple key offshore licenses across the coast of Angola, TotalEnergies has formed itself as a leading offshore operator in the country and along the African coastline. As it continues to work towards a future where sustainability and energy security can go hand in hand, TotalEnergies continues to expand Angola’s oil and gas industry with the help of strategic partners and its teams of employees across the country.
Repsol is an international multienergy company that has operations spanning all corners of the world. From developing new and innovative solutions for its customers to delivering vital oil and gas products to market, Repsol is committed to being the first energy company set on achieving net zero carbon emissions across its operations by 2050. This goal, whilst a big challenge in a sector where it has long been dominated by fossil fuels, is a task that is present across every aspect of Repsol’s operations as it works to evolve the energy industry towards a new, more sustainable way of energy development.
To understand the origins of Repsol we must go back to 1927, when CAMPSA (Compañía Arrendataria del Monopolio del Petróleo, S.A.) was born as a joint venture aimed at overseeing the oil market that was rapidly expanding in Spain. Over the following years, the Spanish oil industry continued to rapidly expand, and by 1951 REPESA (Refinería de Petróleos de Escombreras S.A) was formed and launched a range of premium lubricants. It is from the name of one of REPESA’s premium lubricant brands, that the ‘Repsol’ name and subsequent brand was formed. However, the Repsol Group officially emerged during Spain’s negotiations to join the European Union, and today is a brand that is recognisable across the globe for oil and gas development innovation. Over the years, the Repsol brand continued to grow and began diversifying its offerings to span the exploration, production, transportation, and refining offshore market. Then, through vital acquisitions of international oil companies such as YPF, an Argentinian oil company,
Energising the Low-Emission Energy Market
Repsol cemented its position as a leading multienergy company operating across the world via its 4 major business lines.
A key aspect of Repsol’s operation today is in the production, development and exploration of oil fields across the world. This includes the drilling of wells, building of collection systems and processing systems, as well as evacuation and transport systems. Each of these operations are carried out following Repsol’s values of efficiency, respect, foresight and value. Under these values, and its policies to support the sustainable development of the sector, Repsol is committed to developing the oil and gas sector for the future. Each development must first go through an exploration stage which carries out geological and geophysical work, environmental impact studies and various exploratory drilling projects to understand the potential of deposits. Once a valuable deposit is found, wells are developed and Repsol begins extracting hydrocarbons from the relevant oil field.
A recent example of this kind of development was in Guyana where Repsol applied for a new license for the Kanuku Block. In recent years, Repsol began an environmental study within the Kanuku Block in Guyana, following its drilling project for two non-commercial exploration wells. The exploration sought good-quality reservoirs in primary and secondary drilling targets, however, initial exploration proved both were water-bearing. However, in January 2020, Repsol announced that it had discovered four metres of net oil pay at the Carapa-1 Well, and so would continue its exploration. The environmental study covers the Beeberi-1 exploration well and was carried out by Atlantic Spirit. Under the spent license, Repsol holds a 37.5% ownership with working interest within the Kanuku Block, alongside Tallow Oil at 37.5%. The remaining 25% shares are given to TOQAP which is a joint venture between the French energy company TotalEnergies and Qatar Petroleum. However, the license for the block expired in May 2023, and so
in August 2023, Repsol applied for a new license. The project highlighted Repsol’s vital role in South America’s offshore exploration market, and its vital role in bringing together government figures, local stakeholders and the communities in which they are operating, to discover and deliver vital projects across a growing global portfolio.
Once oil is retrieved from its exploration, development and production projects, Repsol carries out the refining, selling and trading of oil and gas products to both local and international markets. In addition to the marketing and sale of these products, Repsol also oversees the maintenance, control and transport activities associated with these offshore developments whilst still adhering
to the same safety and sustainability policies that are present across all aspects of its operations. In fact, this focus on sustainability is a vital focus for Repsol as many of its operations include the development of new and more sustainable forms of energy development.
Renewable hydrogen is one of the leading developments for many companies looking towards the future of sustainable energy development, and for Repsol, this is the case. In recent years, Repsol has set its priorities on producing renewable hydrogen which is vital for delivering its carbonzero future. This strive towards decarbonization of the energy industry is vital for Repsol’s role in leading the energy transition. Repsol is striving to
be a leading driver towards a decarbonized energy model for the energy industry, and so with this mission in mind, it has set its targets on becoming net zero by 2050. To help support this transition, Repsol is focused on low-carbon power generation projects such as hydroelectric plants, combined cycle plants, and cogeneration plants, as well as building new renewable assets to increase its energy sustainable energy delivery capacity.
To achieve its vital mission of being an energy company committed to a sustainable world, Repsol is passionate about harnessing technology and digitalisation to make a decarbonized future possible. This was outlined in the company’s Strategic Plan (2018-2022) launched in 2018 as a cross-company initiative supported by senior management to harness digitalisation and vital technology implementations to lead the energy transition. The Strategic Plan is working towards building Repsol as a customer-centric, multienergy company that is committed to digitalization, innovating, and strategic talent management. By harnessing these aspects, Repsol can find new ways of working that bring together cutting-edge
technology and innovation to seek sustainable solutions in reducing carbon in the energy sector.
Across Repsol’s operations, it is committed to developing vital energy projects that are working towards a renewable energy future. As Repsol expands its portfolio across the world, each and every development is working towards its vision to be a global energy company that creates value in a sustainable manner by harnessing technology and digitalisation to push towards a future where energy does not rely on fossil fuels alone. We look forward to seeing how Repsol will continue to strive towards its ambitious target of net zero by 2050.
BP Trinidad and Tobago
BP Trinidad and Tobago (BPTT) are a leading hydrocarbon producer, that has taken its roots from the global BP Group and developed them towards the development of Trinidad and Tobago’s national energy industry. BPTT has long been a vital part of the energy sector in the region, and today its natural gas production accounts for roughly half of the nation’s total gas products. With 17 offshore installations and two onshore processing facilities currently in operation across Trinidad and Tobago, the company remains committed to being a valuable partner for the region set on enhancing the community, economy and planet through every aspect of its operation.
BPTT currently have 17 offshore installations that operate as part of a united system set to enhance the energy sector of Trinidad and Tobago. Across its operations, BPTT currently holds a plethora of exploration and production licences spanning multiple offshore platforms and two onshore processing facilities. With such a vast range of operations currently underway, BPTT remains focused on developing the industry within Trinidad and Tobago towards the future of energy development.
A vital project currently under BPTT’s development is Cypre, which is the company’s third subsea development in Trinidad and Tobago. The project will encompass 7 wells and subsea trees which will be tied back into BPTT’s existing Jupiter platform. In February 2024, drilling began on Cypre and it aims to enhance the existing infrastructure of BPTT’s projects, and bring innovation into the way that BPTT can bring gas to market. It is currently expected that Cypre will help bring gas to market faster. In the press release announcing the starting of the drilling at Cypre, David Campell, President of BPTT outlined, “Following the successful delivery of our small pools drilling programme we are pleased to see the safe and efficient retooling and relocation of the Valaris Joe Douglas rig to the Cypre field. Cypre is a significant investment for BPTT to continue to maintain production and the start of the drilling programme is an important step in the Cypre project”.
Campbell continues, “Our objective is to bring natural gas into production safely and as quickly as possible […] Our teams are fully focused on drilling other aspects of the Cypre development to deliver first gas by 2025”. Campbell’s comments highlight the vital investments BPTT has made in developing this major offshore project to enhance gas delivery to Trinidad and Tobago. As the project sets its sights on the future, we look forward to seeing how Cypre will continue to develop and see its first gas delivered in the next few months.
The other current development for BPTT is the Ocelot Project, consisting of a new 7” onshore liquid pipeline that will connect BPTT’s existing Beachfield facility to the Galeota Terminal Facility. The pipeline will be implemented along the current pipeline corridor used by the 06BECH pipeline, and span 13km. This onshore project will see the pipeline go across both forested, road and river crossing areas where varying depths will be required. To achieve this, BPTT will utilise onshore practices and will be

completed in manageable segments to mitigate risks and exposure within the local community. Once completed, the pipeline will flush and clean the old 06BECH pipeline of hydrocarbon, disconnect it from the facility connections and plug the end of the old pipeline. The main contractor for this project is Stork Technical Services Limited, which will carry out the bulk of the onshore development. In recent months, BPTT announced that it has been awarded the NCMA 3 block offshore of Trinidad, as part of the Shallow Water 2023/2024 bid. The block is located off Trinidad’s north coast and signifies a new area of exploration for BP in the region. Previous production in the Columbus Basin region was carried out by BPTT off Trinidad’s east coast. The announcement of the expansion of BPTT’s operations into the NCMA 3 Block highlights the company’s strategy to access new basins whilst maximising production across its existing projects.
David Campbell outlined that “Continued exploration activity is crucial for sustaining our industry and I am very pleased that we have secured this block. The NCMA area is new to BP in T&T and I am looking forward to maximising its potential. Although geographically new to use, we will be able to draw on our 50-plus years of exploration experience in Trinidad and Tobago”. Campbell’s comments signify the vital role BPTT continues to play in the development of Trinidad and Tobago’s energy industry, as it is with its expertise gathered over more than 5 decades in the region, that it has the vital skill set to expand its portfolio to deliver new and significant exploration operations within Trinidad and Tobago.
Whilst BPTT continues to expand its portfolio, it recently announced in September that it would be divesting four of its mature gas assets and undeveloped resources to Perenco Trinidad and Tobago (Perenco T&T). The assets in question are the Immortelle, Flamboyant, Amherstia and Cashima offshore gas fields, including the associated production facilities. The fields are all mature fields that have been in production for many years and produce a total of 30,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (bopd). The agreement between BPTT and Perenco T&T would see the assets divested to Perenco T&T, with BPTT purchasing the gas
Harnessing Trinidad and Tobago’s Energy Sector
produced from the fields as it continues to meet its current contractual obligations.
The agreement aims to help BPTT focus on its higher-value assets, whilst it helps Perenco T&T to expand its role across Trinidad and Tobago. This ‘winwin’ agreement was highlighted by David Campbells with, “Divesting these mature assets will high-grade our portfolio in Trinidad and Tobago as we focus on continuing to develop our shallow water gas portfolio and pursuing growth opportunities with both deep water and cross border gas resources. This is part of our mission to accelerate gas production, create value and unlock the energy future of Trinidad and Tobago. Meanwhile, Perenco will be able to apply their mature asset expertise to extend these fields’ producing life and support maximum recovery of resources”. Campbell’s comments here exemplify exactly how BPTT is moving into the next phase of its operations as it aims to focus on its shallow water
developments to accelerate gas production, whilst ensuring that its mature assets continue to bring significant energy development to Trinidad and Tobago under the expertise of mature life assets experts such as Perenco T&T.
What we have seen across all of BPTT’s operations here is a vital shift towards the future of energy development, as it has continued to expand new and vital fields for Trinidad and Tobago to continue pioneering its energy development. However, throughout every aspect of its operations, its commitment to ensuring that its existing portfolio is continually enhanced either under its operation or through strategic partnerships with other energy companies across the region. It is this unification of expertise across the sector, that has positioned BPTT as the leading energy provider in the country for many years.
TotalEnergies EP Uganda
TotalEnergies is a global multi-energy company that produces and markets energy across 130 countries worldwide. The main purpose of TotalEnergies is to provide as many people as possible with affordable, sustainable, reliable, and accessible energy offerings which can lead the energy industry into a future where sustainability inhabits every aspect of the energy sector. As energy demand has grown over the last few decades, TotalEnergies has continued to expand its offering to find ways to meet these needs whilst implementing sustainable infrastructural development in the process. .
Akey area of TotalEnergies’ current development as an integrated and balanced multi-energy company is in Uganda, where the company has been in operation since 1955. The original role of TotalEnergies in Uganda was under TotalEnergies Marketing Uganda Ltd, which is its marketing and services affiliate. This oversees the more than 200 service stations across the country catered towards delivering consumer products. However, it is from this firm foundation in the downstream petroleum market that the global company established the exploration and procurement division of its operations under TotalEnergies EP Uganda (TEPU) which leads its operations towards the development of upstream oil and gas potential for Uganda.
TEPU vitally works with CNOOC Uganda and the Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) in a joint venture partnership with TotalEnergies holding 56.67% interest, 28.33% to CNOOC and 15% to UNOC. The partnership is focused on developing Uganda’s upstream oil and gas market in the Lake Alberta region, which is known for its rich oil resources. At present, the petroleum resources of Uganda are estimated to be at 6.5 billion barrels of Stock Tank Oil-Initially-In-Place (STOIIP), with between 1.4 and 1.7 billion barrels estimated to be recoverable. Therefore, vital companies such as TotalEnergies, CNOOC and UNOC are working together to bring this potential to life to develop the region’s energy sector towards the future.
A central project under this partnership is the Tilenga Project. Tilenga is located across the Bulisa and Nwoya districts covering 6 fields of operations. Within these fields, the project aims to drill over 400 wells and 31 well pads aiming to produce 190,000 barrels per day (bopd) at its peak. Across the project, there are 6 pumping stations which ensure that this high level of oil production is possible. This
high expected production rate aims to help meet the growing global energy demand, and so the oil produced from the project will be transported to the Port of Tanga in Tanzania via pipeline and can be delivered to international markets.
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is responsible for taking the oil from the Tilenga project to the port in Tanzania where the oil reserves are stored in a terminal ready for loading onto the jetty for distribution to end markets. The pipeline is connected to the central processing facility, flow lines, lake water abstraction facility, and feeder lines, as well as construction camps and support bases. The pipeline is operated by EACOP Ltd. and shareholders TotalEnergies East Africa Midstream has a 63% share, with UNOC, CNOOC and the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) having 15%, 8 % and 15% shares respectively. Across the Tilenga project and EACOP, 80,000 jobs have been created with 11,000 direct jobs, many of which are available to those in the local community. Therefore, the pipeline, buried 1,433km between Kabaale and the port, plays a valuable role in
Leading Uganda’s Energy Development
supporting TotalEnergie’s Tilenga project with a transporting capacity of 216,000 bopd.
However, what underlines all of TotalEnergie’s operations is its commitment to implementing sustainability throughout every aspect of its operations. This is seen across the Tilenga project with TotalEnergies’ implementation of solar panels, as well as the development of community and biodiversity initiatives. These collectively are working to ensure that all of the company’s operations are supporting the future development of Uganda whilst protecting the land as much as possible in

the process. A key area where this is evident is in Murchison Falls Park where TotalEnergies has set out a strategy for protecting and conserving large parts of the park where its operations interact with it. This focus on protecting the environment is so key to TotalEnergies’ operation in Uganda as the company remains aware of the impact its operations can have on the environment, local communities, and the biodiversity of the land. Therefore, whilst the company is working to enhance the rich deposit potential of the region, it also remains committed to ensuring that every development is made with all of these factors in mind. This was seen with the development of EACOP where the route in which

it was developed was rigorously reviewed taking environmental, biodiversity and social constraints into consideration. In May, TotalEnergies announced it was in the process of working with the government in Uganda and Tanzania to improve the management of protected areas across the regions whilst working closely in partnership with local communities and conservationists to remain committed to the company’s focus on reducing its impacts as much as possible.
TotalEnergies aims to continue to scale up its conservation activities across the Murchison National Park, by continuing to invest in research and development projects which monitor the specific species within the park. This will be in partnership with the Uganda Wildlife Authority with a joint mission to improve the management of protected areas. A key part of this will be focusing on education, habitat monitoring, and corridor restoration – all of these will be in partnership with Ecotrust and the Communal Land Associations as the company launches the second phase of its corridor restoration program across the Murchison Falls Protected Area.
As we have seen, TotalEnergies is a globally integrated energy company which is promoting the development of the energy industry across the world by implementing vital infrastructure and projects to produce energy for today and for the future. In Uganda, this role is crucial to enhance the rich deposits of the region to bring vital economic development and highlight the country’s role in international markets as a key energy facilitator. However, what remains crucial about every project and development under TotalEnergies is that it ensures the protection and promotion of the local communities and rich biodiversity of each specific region.

Singapore Petroleum Company Limited
Singapore Petroleum Company Limited (SPC) is a premium integrated oil and gas company operating across the Asia-Pacific region. The company is a member of PetroChina, one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world, and under its umbrella, SPC has continued to expand its offerings across the oil and gas market. Now as the company moves towards the future, it has grown its presence in the global exploration and production (E&P) sector, having acquired numerous vital assets over the last few years. However, what underpins every operation of SPC is its foundation in marketing, trading, and distribution across the crude oil and refined petroleum product markets.
SPC was founded in 1969 with vital interests in the oil and gas exploration sector, which quickly began marketing oil and gas products. Today, SPC is a household name owning the third largest island-wide retail network of service stations in Singapore which provides downstream petrol for the everyday transportation used by people across Singapore. However, SPC has built a growing presence in the exploration and production (E&P) sector since 2000 and now has a significant portfolio of assets within the upstream oil and gas industry.
SPC’s diversification aimed to create and deliver sustainable future growth for the company utilising its expertise in the downstream markets and bringing this to the upstream sector. Within SPC’s portfolio, there are currently 9 assets in the Asia-Pacific region, 8 of which are Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) and one exploration permit. Across its entire E&P portfolio, SPC’s operations span across Australia, Cambodia, China, Indonesia and Vietnam. This expansive role highlights its growing presence in the E&P sector within the Asia-Pacific Region.
In addition to this, SPC also has two gas pipelines across the region. The first is the West Natuna Transportation System spanning 654 kilometres from the West Natuna Sea to Singapore. This is the first cross-border sub-sea pipeline for SPC. The second pipeline transmits gas from Indonesia to Singapore across the 468-kilometre Grissik-BatamSingapore Pipeline. The pipeline has significantly developed SPC’s gas development since 2003 when it first commenced operations as part of a 20-year contract between Singapore and Indonesia. This pipeline works alongside the Grissik-Duri pipeline project operated by PT Transportasi Gas Indonesia. These pipelines make up part of the Trans-ASEAN Gas Pipelines (TAGP) network which has continued to be vital in strengthening the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) member countries’ role in maintaining and developing its role within the energy growth market across the Asia-Pacific region. With the continued development of its pipeline projects, SPC aims to strengthen its alliance across the region and establish itself as a key driver for energy development.
In addition to its E&P assets, SPC is still a key downstream fuel supplier to both domestic and

commercial markets. Every day SPC supplies bulk automotive diesel oil, marine gas, gasoline, liquid petroleum gas, and asphalt/bitumen to the Singapore market. These fuels are used across the country primarily to power transportation and to supply power stations. However, their application can also be seen across the industrial, construction and manufacturing sectors for both plant and machinery operations. SPC also provides marine gas oil on an ex-wharf basis to barging companies, and on a delivered basis to offshore islands, and also provides asphalt/bitumen to the road building industry.
Currently, SPA is a reputable supplier of bunker fuel to international shipping companies at the Singapore port, and with jet fuel across several international airports in the Asia-Pacific. In fact, SPC has been selling and marketing fuel to the aviation industry in the Asia-Pacific region for more than 40 years. An airport that SPC serves is the Singapore Changi Airport, which is one of the world’s leading air hubs, and so SPC plays a key role in supplying topquality aviation fuels at a competitive rate across the region. Outside of Singapore, SPC also serves jet fuel to more than 30 airlines across Taiwan, Thailand, and Cambodia which take advantage of SPC’s strategically located sales network that can serve international customers well with fuels that meet the necessary fuel specifications.
Across these, the company facilitates downstream petroleum and oil products that provide its customers with ready-to-use products highlighting its reputation and role in the everyday functioning of Singapore’s transportation and aviation industry. However, it also plays a vital role in the refining industry, which has further positioned SPC within the global downstream market. SPC holds a 50% interest in the Singapore Refining Company Private Limited (SRC) which has a capacity of 290,000
barrels of crude oil per day. The refined fuels produced by SRC are traded by SPC throughout its network on both a regional and international scale.
One of the key goals of SPC’s refining operations is to achieve long-term competitiveness. The company aims to achieve this through a range of strategic projects which aim to sustain SRC’s operations. A key project for SRC was the Gasoline Clean Fuels and Cogeneration Plant in 2017, which enhanced the refinery’s capability to produce higher-quality gasoline production whilst achieving energy self-sufficiency.
This focus on sustainability is fundamental to SPC’s operations. It believes that every business decision and operation should always positively contribute to the long-term well-being of the business and the community where SPC operates. These values are something that the company have continued to expand upon, and currently, it is working on implementing cleaner fuels and ensuring that it is caring for the community throughout its operations. With environmental, philanthropic and cultural causes behind its operations, SPC is establishing itself as a leading integrated oil and gas company that is committed to giving back to the environment and its communities to deliver multi-layer economic and social benefits.
Overall, SPC is a vital oil and gas company that is serving both the local and international markets with downstream markets. However, with increasing developments over the last 20 years towards its exploration and production division, the company now has a plethora of vital assets that are delivering significant oil and gas production across the entire Asia-Pacific region. With natural gas playing an increasingly vital role in the region’s energy mix, SPC is continuing to position its operations at the heart of the industry to be a leading integrated oil and gas company for the Asia-Pacific region.

Dall Energy
With carbon emission becoming such a vital part of the conversation surrounding the development of the global energy sector, many companies have been set on harnessing the resources on the earth to deliver a sustainable energy production system that meets the energy demands of today, whilst not harming the planet further in the process. This means that there has been a vital shift away from fossil fuels and a deepening exploration into the world of biomass. This is where cutting-edge biomass energy-technology company Dall Energy comes in, which is on a mission to be recognised as the leading global biomass gasification company using its range of patented technologies set on reducing carbon emissions and playing a role in the future of energy technology development.
Dall Energy was founded by Jans Dall Betzen in 2007, who discovered the best way to combust moist biomass and turn it into energy. This development produced energy that was low in emissions, provided great fuel flexibility and would shape the future of green energy development. Whilst still a relatively young company, Dall Energy has seen significant expansion since its first biomass gasification furnace that it put into commercial service at Bogense Fjernvarmevær in 2012, and then its first international application in New Hampshire in 2014. Its development in the United States saw it deliver a biomass furnace for industrial production at the Warwick Mills Factor, which was designed dot reduce air pollution and produce steam for industrial use.
Over the years, Dall Energy has continued to implement more of its technology and products into new and existing planets across the world, whilst winning a plethora of sustainability and design innovation awards in the process. However, a significant milestone for the company came in 2023, when the major French asset manager Eiffel IG invested in Dall Energy which helped to significantly boost Dall Energy’s growth on both a domestic and international scale.
Even before the investment by Eiffel IG, Dall Energy saw funding from various research and development programs including the EU Horizons 2020 Program, the Danish Energy Authority (EUDP), the Danish Environmental Agency, the Ministry of Higher Education and Science and ERANET. Across all of this funding, Dall Energy was able to continue to develop its technology to produce a range of products and services which set to reshare the future of energy development.
Across Dall Energy’s product offerings, it has heating plants and cogeneration plants. The heating plants provide sustainable heat for district heating works and aim to reduce local air emissions in the process. This is a patented concept by Dall Energy which allows the heating plants to operate even with low loads without the need for a separate boiler. This aims to reduce costs and provide a reliable supply to local district heating networks. The cogeneration plant (CHP) is utilised to produce sustainable electricity and heat for the local district network using biomass.
The design of the cogeneration plants is valuable as many utility companies prefer Dall’s CHP as they are designed with an Organic Ranking Cycle (ORC) which allows for maximum electricity generation in a single unit. This ensures the best possible return on its investment for companies looking to adopt Dall Energy’s cogeneration plants. Across both of these plants, Dall Energy is committed to making them cheaper and easier than traditional gratefired plants, and a key part of this is through the company’s planning, execution, and supervision of each plant.
However, arguably the most valuable asset to Dall Energy is its biomass gasification furnace and flue gas condensation technologies. These utilise naturally found biomass which can be cheap utilising anything from garden and park waste to wooden pellets. These can be fed into the systems at varying humidities, and when heated using Dall Energy’s biomass gasification furnaces will produce energy that is low in emissions, has little maintenance costs and will provide a stable energy delivery. Plus, Dall Energy’s biomass gasification furnaces emit
very little dust so no bag filters or electrofilters are needed for added emission reduction.
Dall Energy’s technologies and products have been adopted across many sites worldwide. In July, Dall Energy signed a second partnership agreement with Coriance, a French green transition pioneer. The project is part of one the biggest district heating initiatives in modern French history and will expand upon the existing Caen Nord and Hérouville-Saint-Clair heating networks in the Caen la Mer region in northern France. Dall Energy will provide 4 heating plants at 12.5MW with biomass gasification technology. Utilising this technology, the project aims to deliver heating to roughly 40,000 households in Caen and will use the plethora of garden and park waste available locally. It is hoped that the development of the heating network in Caen will reduce carbon emissions by up to 87,000 tons annually. The project here symbolises the vital role Dall Energy has continued to play across the global energy market, especially in France as its technologies are rapidly being adopted to deliver significant energy delivery whilst cutting emissions in the process.
The expansion of Dall Energy’s role in the global energy market is set to continue to expand, as in October 2024 the company acquired Weiss France Énergie and Biomass Services and Maintenance from Groupe Roullier. This acquisition comes largely as Dall Energy has seen a significant surge in the adoption of its technologies among French
The Future of Energy Technology
municipalities and businesses, and so the company is now a leader in biomass process technology in France. The two companies are both set on mitigating climate change and replacing fossil fuels across the energy sector. Therefore, whilst the companies will still operate as separate entities, they will work cohesively together, along with investor Eiffel IG, to minimise climate change and improve energy efficiency.
What stands out about Dall Energy is its new approach to the energy sector, as its operations hinge on the vital shift across many industries away from fossil fuel and towards renewable energy options. Its role across Europe has significantly grown, largely thanks to the investment of Eiffel IG, but also due to the innovative solutions that take easily accessible resources such as biomass and have transformed it into a low-carbon yet high-energy production medium. We look forward to seeing how Dall Energy continues to drive the renewable energy sector as we continue to see its technologies and products implemented across the world.
For over 50 years, MODEC has been the leading provider of floating offshore solutions for the oil and gas industry. MODEC provides top-quality floating solutions designed to meet the unique requirements of its customers’ needs. Throughout its operations, MODEC remains committed to supporting humanity towards the future of energy development by harnessing the ocean in an environmentally sustainable way. With recent expansions in Malaysia and India, MODEC continues to leverage its talented workforce to sustain the steady growth of the offshore oil and gas industry.
Founded in 1968, MODEC has spent the last 50 years providing floating solutions to the offshore oil and gas industry. These include Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) and Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) vessels which are the primary methods used across the oil and gas industry to deliver these products to market. FPSOs work by receiving fluid which includes crude oil, water and other things, which it then separates to produce crude oil, natural gas, water and impurities within the topside of the vessel. The crude oil is stored in tanks which can then be shuttled off to tankers for further refining on shore. These vessels are vital to the energy industry, however, often oil and gas deposits are located in locations and at depths that are difficult to access. Therefore, through the development of its FPSO and FSO vessels, MODEC is committed to developing and implementing these structures to meet the unique and often harsh conditions of the deposits to deliver customer satisfaction through every project.
MODEC currently has 20 FPSOs and FSOs in operation at offshore fields in places such as West Africa, Asia, Oceania, the Gulf Coast of Mexico, South America, Brazil and the North Sea. Across these projects, MODEC delivers the best services possible
through turnkey solutions that harness the energy potential across the world. By ensuring that its vessels are equipped to manage the often-harsh conditions, MODEC ensures that each project’s life cycle is maximised to deliver significant returns for the customer and the global energy industry in the process.
As MODEC has continued to develop its FPSO and FSO delivery, it has developed two new types of hulls that are designed for the future of energy development. These vessels bring together the best in design and construction technology to deliver top-of-the-line FPSO and FSO projects that will see the next generation of energy production. In recent years, MODEC has developed the M350™ and the MODEC NOAH™ which will help it take its energy development potential to the next level through their innovative hull designs. However, aside from its development of new hull designs, MODEC also has a key role in converting oil tankers into FPSOs and FSOs. It has been re-developing oil tankers for over 40 years, and so has built a strong reputation within the global market as a leading oil tanker conversion company.
To achieve its delivery of new and redeveloped FPSO and FSO vessels, MODEC relies on its network of shipbuilders and shipyards around the world to fully implement its EPCI works on its projects. Across its global network, MODEC has more than 6000 employees across 15 countries worldwide who help it to achieve its project visions. In addition to this, MODEC also relies on outsourced shipyards and companies that help it achieve its projects using local knowledge and expertise. Through this network, MODEC can maintain its competitive lowprice points, and achieve greater flexibility across

MODEC continues to expand its network, in order to bring its floating production solutions to the oil and gas industry across even more of the globe. In May 2024, MODEC announced that it was opening a new office in Malaysia in order to expand its workforce and provide even greater services to Malaysia’s energy industry. The office would provide more than 200 new roles, spanning across the engineering and corporate side of operations which it aims to have filled by early 2025. The new office in Kuala Lumpur would become part of the Offshore Frontier Solutions Pte. Ltd., (OFS) a joint venture company formed by MODEC Inc. and Toyo Engineering Corporation in 2022. The company works across the EPCI of FPSO vessels.
The new office highlights MODEC’s investment in expansion to help it better service its customers on a global scale. President and CEO of OFS, Soichi Ide, outlined in the press release that “this expansion signifies our commitment to growth, innovation, and leveraging the diverse talent pool in the region”. Ide continues, “We are excited about this significant milestone in MODEC’s growth journey. The new office will be part of a strategic hub in this region that will provide high-quality and high-value support for our EPCI execution.” Ide’s comments highlight MODEC’s commitment to expansion and

Water is a vital and precious resource for life, and therefore, it is this belief that powers the Water Authority of Cayman to work tirelessly to protect and regulate water across the Cayman Islands to ensure that everyone has access to clean, pure and affordable water resources every single day. To make this mission a reality, the Authority has rolled out a strategic plan to ensure that all water, from drinking to ground, and even wastewater is met with the same care and protection to ensure that across the Cayman Islands, every drop of water counts.
The Water Authority of Cayman was established in 1983 under the Water Authority Law as the statutory authority within the Cayman Islands responsible for the development, control and protection of the Island’s water resources. Today, the Water Authority employs more than 100 people and is committed to supplying pure, wholesome and affordable water to more than 17,000 customers across the Islands. Its role today is a big step up from the origins of the company that began with just a few members of staff working from a threebedroom house in George Town all those years ago.
The expansive role of the Authority now works closely with researchers, suppliers, governmental figures and the communities across the Cayman Islands to ensure that it can deliver the best water services possible. To achieve this central mission of ensuring the population can access
pure, wholesome and affordable portable water resources, the Authority has set out key objectives to achieve this. These objectives include the protection and development of groundwater resources for the benefit of present and future generations of the Islands. This ensures that the Authority is implementing procedures and operations which focus on the longevity of such a vital resource. A key way this longevity is achieved is through the collection, treatment and disposal of sewage across the islands in a safe, efficient and affordable way.
As the Authority moves towards the future, it has implemented vital technological advancements across its operations to ensure the protection of water and provide its customers with greater authority over their water accounts. As part of its future development plans, the Authority has developed a new customer portal which allows customers greater freedom over their water authority accounts, making it easy to view and pay bills, manage consumption history and register as
Protecting Water Resources
a tenant online in a much easier way. The portal is designed to provide greater transparency for its customers and improve customer service to deliver a reliable service to people across the country.
The final key mission of the Authority is to operate in a way that is financially responsible and contributes towards the development of the Islands in a way that will bring vital capital investment into the region to continue to support the water resources of Cayman Islands. All of these objectives together provide a clear view of how the Water Authority of Cayman aims to use its authority and support from the government to ensure that the people across the region can access clean drinking water without restriction.
A key way that the Authority utilises the vital water of the Cayman Islands is through its research laboratory which is responsible for testing and analysing water and wastewater across the
Water Authority – Cayman
Islands to ensure it is top quality for people and the environment. The laboratory was set up in 2002 and became the first lab in the Caribbean that specialised in the testing of water resources. Through the vital testing programs of the laboratory, the Authority can implement and manage the water quality of the resources across the region for the betterment of the people and environment of the Cayman Islands. Thanks to its vital research, the Authority can mitigate the contamination effects of water resources to ensure that drinking water, crop production and vegetation are not negatively affected by poor water quality.
This passion for ensuring that the water resources of the Cayman Islands are top quality, highlights the Authority’s mission to ensure that the communities across the islands are constantly benefitting from its operations from drinking water to the role of water in farming. All of these aspects highlight the valuable role of water which is utilised in many industries to bring economic development (e.g. in agriculture). Therefore, by protecting and ensuring these resources are of the best quality possible, the Authority is also contributing towards the economic development of the region through the role of water in supporting business operations.
Protecting Water Resources
However, the Authority’s commitment to promoting, developing and enhancing the Cayman Islands through its water resource operations, does not end with the research and accessibility of water. Instead, the Authority is committed to ensuring that those living across the Islands have access to work experience and educational programmes that encourage personal development and set up the Water Authority for many years to come. A key way this is achieved is through the Authority’s scholarship program which provides a qualified candidate with CI$140,00 for use to obtain an undergraduate academic and technical/vocational degree or diploma within the water field of study. By providing this scholarship, the Authority is inspiring the next generation of water resource protection workers, and in the process encouraging more research and education for water resource protection which will support the Cayman Islands now and in the future.
Ultimately, all of the work under the Water Authority of Cayman is to give back and highlight what it means to be a good corporate citizen. The Authority is committed to consistently investing and donating back to charitable initiatives and fundraising events. However, what remains the same throughout every aspect of its operations, is its commitment to ensuring that every drop of water across the Cayman Islands is just as valuable as the last. Through its research, scholarship and management systems, the Water Authority of Cayman is developing the islands’ vital water resource towards a future of clean and reliable water security.

e Construção Offshore) for logistics activities and Quad Joints Fabrication and some other manufacturing activities.
The second contract was awarded to Saipem by Equinor for the Irpa Pipeline Project. The project covers the installation of 80 kilometres of swagged Pipe-in-Pipe pipeline which will connect the production template of the Irpa Field to the existing Aasta Hansteen platform. The Irpa Pipeline project is expected for operations to begin next year in 2025.
A fundamental aspect of Saipem’s operations is its offshore drilling services, which date back to the origins of the company where it began drilling off the coasts of Sicily. At present, Saipem has a fleet of drilling vessels that can operate in several harsh environments and at a range of operational depths. In addition to these, Saipem also has a range of
drillships, jack-ups and semi-submersibles which are also capable of operating in both shallow and ultra-deepwater depths. Drilling for Saipem has continued to allow the company to establish longterm relationships with exploration and production companies across the world to drill wells in some of the deepest and most technically challenging environments there are.
In November 2022, Saipem was awarded new offshore drilling contracts covering 3 projects in the Middle East and 2 in Western Africa encompassing approximately 800 million USD in value. In the Middle East, Saipem was contracted to work on two highspecification Jack-Up drilling units (Perro Negro 12 and 13) which are chartered by third parties for drilling and workover activities. The project is expected to take 5 years with completion expected in 2027, with an optional two years for the first unit
and another 4 years for the second. In West Africa, Saipem was awarded 2 contracts in the Ultra DeepWater segment for drilling operations with the sixth-generation Drillship Saipem 1200. The first contract was awarded to Eni Côte d’Ivoire for drilling operations. The second contract was awarded to Azule Energy for drilling. The project included the drilling of 12 firm wells and included the possibility of an extension for an optional term. These contracts in West Africa and the Middle East highlight the areas as key focuses for development over the coming years for Saipem and its operations in the ultra-deepwater market.
Furthermore, Saipem announced in February 2023 that it was resuming work on the Mozambique LNG project for Total Energies. The project covers the onshore development of the LNG plant and is the first for Saipem in Mozambique, and includes the engineering, procurement, and construction of the onshore plant. Saipem also announced in the same month that the company has renewed its collaboration agreements with Petrojet and ENPPI. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Saipem with Petrojet to continue the collaborative efforts in the pursuit of potential new initiatives in the oil and gas, infrastructure, and new Energy sectors in North Africa. This continued collaboration highlights the strong relationship Saipem has with companies in North Africa and the Middle East.

Shell Trinidad and Tobago
Shell has long played a key role in developing the oil and gas industry of Trinidad and Tobago towards local and international success through its establishment of on-shore and offshore operations. These operations aim to enhance the oil and gas potential of the region and deliver economic benefits for Trinidad and Tobago whilst remaining socially responsible with every development. Today, Shell has major ownership and operations of some of the most prolific gas-producing areas in Trinidad and Tobago as it seeks to harness the rich deposit potential for continued economic development for the region.
When Shell began its operations in Trinidad and Tobago it was thought to have been the largest private-sector employer in the country. However, by 1974 the oil industry had been nationalised which saw the government purchase Shell’s assets and form the first national oil company. Shell’s ownership in the region subsequently was reduced, however, in 2014 it acquired Repsol’s 2025% non-operated interest in Atlantic LNG, the 6th largest global producer of liquified natural gas (LNG), which, in combination with the BG Group, saw Shell take on the role as a major upstream facilitator which supplied both petrochemical and LNG sectors thanks to its majority interest in Atlantic LNG across its 4-train facility. Today, Shell Trinidad and Tobago has 7 offshore and onshore blocks, which are either operated or non-operated and now play a major role in the development of the region’s energy development.
Your Trusted Maritime Partner
One of the most prolific gas producing areas in Trinidad and Tobago is within the East Coast Marine Areas (ECMA), where Shell has already made significant developments towards developing the oil and gas potential of the region. Within the ECMA, Shell Trinidad and Tobago have the Dolphin Facility and the Beachfield Facility, both of which are offshore platforms which are delivering significant returns for the company every day. The area has seen major developments in recent years under Shell, with the Barracuda Project which comprises two subsea wells one in the Endeavour Field and another in the Bounty.
Both of these fields are tied back to Shell’s existing Dolphin platform. The two wells delivered the first gas in 2021, with the backfill project delivering close to 25,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) of sustained gas production. At peak, the project now delivers to 40,000 boe/d. The wells encompass some of the deepest development wells in Trinidad and Tobago under the Barracuda project and provided an essential base from which Shell has continued to expand their operations with 100% ownership and operations of the wells and backfill infrastructure.
In recent news, Shell Trinidad and Tobago have announced a new conventional gas development located in the shallow water across the region. Named the Manatee Field Offshore, the project is currently in the approval stage and is expected to start commercial production in 2028. As part of the development, Eni and McDermott International have been brought in as contractors to help with
Advancing Trinidad and Tobago’s Energy Market
the design and FEED engineering of the offshore development. The engineering and construction company McDermott has been awarded a limited notice to proceed concerning engineering, procurement, construction, and installation. Once commissioned the gas will be used to supply both domestic and export markets from Trinidad and Tobago thus continuing to develop the region as a key player in the energy sector.
This continued development is most evident currently in the North Coast Marine Area (NCMA) where Shell Trinidad and Tobago owns and operates another two offshore facilities. These facilities, the Hibiscus Platform and the Poinsettia Platform have played a central role in the development of the Colibri Project. The project set out by Shell in 2022, made a significant amendment to the development of the Block 6 Production Sharing Contract across the Manatee field. Colibri is a backfill project, which aims to deliver 30,000 boe/d of sustained near-term gas production with peak production expected to be over 40,000 boe/d. Through 4 subsea wells, the project will tied back into the Poinsettia Platform. In March 2022, the first gas was reached at the Colibri project.
The Colibri project, which is co-owned by Shell with the Heritage Petroleum Company Limited (Trinidad and Tobago’s National Oil Company) with

a working interest of 10% and 20% respectively across Block 22 and MCMA-4 for the project. These key developments by Shell Trinidad and Tobago highlight not only the valuable role the company plays in developing the sector for the benefit of Trinidad and Tobago but also the reputation that these projects have given the region as a rich and lucrative source of energy potential. This hopes to bring continued investment into the region’s oil and gas industry.
Currently, when the Colibri and Barracuda projects are combined, they have the potential to deliver more gas to the domestic market of Trinidad and Tobago as well as to major LNG markets internationally. This is bolstered further by Shell’s major share in Atlantic LNG, one of the world’s leading LNG producers, and so Shell Trinidad and Tobago has continued to position itself and the region for continued economic growth thanks to the oil and gas operations it has undertaken in the region.
As we have already seen, the projects carried out by Shell Trinidad and Tobago are bringing significant

economic and energy sector development. With a key section of this development alongside vital stakeholders such as McDermott, Shell has been able to create a strong relationship between Trinidad and Venezuela as it looks to develop its operations within the cross-border Loran-Manatee discovery field shared by the two countries. With Shell’s reputation for teamwork, integrity and respect; it aims to forge a strong relationship between Trinidad and Venezuela so that both countries can see the vital benefits of the 10 trillion cubic feet of natural gas estimated to be located within this field.
For this, in November 2023, Shell announced that Venezuela was set to approve a license for the Dragon gas field in Trinidad which would be located in Venezuelan territorial waters. The field is estimated to hold up to 4.2 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and following the approval of the license, Shell could begin work to deliver significant benefits to the two countries following delays in progress spanning over a decade since the last developments were made. Once completed Shell

Trinidad and Tobago will operate a 70% interest, with Trinidad and Tobago’s National Gas Company owning the remaining 30% stake.
As we have seen, Shell has spent over a century developing the oil and gas industry of Trinidad and Tobago and it remains committed to its development for the future. With strategic partnerships with vital stakeholders across the local and international industry, the company has established the rich potential of the region’s deposit potential as a key site of investment as its production serves both domestic and export markets. We look forward to seeing how the development of the ECMA and NCMA continue to bring great success for the company and continue to solidify Trinidad and Tobago’s place within the global energy industry.
The world is powered by energy with almost all livelihoods relying on the accessible, efficient and sustainable supply of energy every day. Therefore, the maintenance and development of global energy industries are vital for ensuring the longevity of industries across the world. This is especially important as the world has begun the necessary shift towards energy solutions which limit its impact on the world for a cleaner, safer and more flexible future of energy production and consumption. This push towards clean energy resources is spearheaded in Qatar by QatarEnergy; an integrated energy company responsible for the development of cleaner energy resources across the State of Qatar. Its vital work has made the company an integral partner in the global energy transition, supported by its work to develop the production of liquified natural gas (LNG) to market.
Qatar Energy is a world leader in the production of liquified natural gas and has spent many years strategically positioning its developments and partnerships to meet the challenges and success that LNG brings. For QatarEnergy, LNG is vital for every human life as its role in powering homes, industries and livelihoods cannot be understated. Across the world, LNG has been increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional fuel sources such as fuel and coal. The main reason for this move is that LNG produces between 30-50% less carbon emissions than its coal and fuel counterparts.
The energy industry has long played a vital role in Qatar’s development, beginning with the drilling of the country’s first well in Dukhan in 1939. Following the initial drilling development, the energy industry took off, with the first crude oil exports occurring in 1949 along with the granting of Qatar’s first offshore concession. By 1960, the Idd El-Shargi and Maydan Mahzam fields were discovered, followed 12 years later by the discovery of the Bul Hanine field. The Bul Hanin field quickly became one of the largest offshore fields for Qatar and led to the development of QatarEnergy by a governmental decree. QatarEnergy would take over control of the country’s energy sector to develop the industry whilst remaining accountable to the Supreme Council for Economic Affairs and Investment. Now 50 years later, this focus on developing the country’s energy industry remains much the same as it has now positioned the company as a world leader within the sustainable energy market for LNG developments.
In terms of Onshore Oil development, Dukhan is the largest onshore oil and gas field under QatarEnergy that produces crude oil, associated gas condensate and various non-associated gases. The first shipment from Dukham began in 1949, however, today the development is split into multiple gas fields with the North Gas Field (NGS) having a total recoverable gas of more than 900 trillion standard cubic feet, and so is now considered to be the largest single non-associated gas reservoir in the world spanning a remarkable 6,000 square kilometres. NGS began its official commercial explorations in 1991, and in Phase 1 produced more than 7000 million standard cubic

feet per day (mmscfd) of gas, and 18,000 barrels per day of stabilized condensate. These are then refined or exported to local and international markets.
The Idd El-Sharqi, Maydan Mahzam and Bul Haine fields began production in 1962, 1965, and 1972 respectively. The final vital field is the Murjan Field where QatarEnergy operates 3 different offshore production stations including the PS-1, PS-2 and PS-3 platforms which are responsible for producing crude oil, associated gas, and condensate. The oil and condensate from these developments are then piped to Halul Island where QatarEnergy has a storage facility, as well as its Mesaleed NGL feed facility. Across the Murjan fields, the average oil production from all three combined projects is thought to be more than 100,000 barrels of oil per day, most of which is then delivered to customers downstream for house and car use.
The company’s success has been largely thanks to the various partnerships and agreements reached between QatarEnergy and other leading brands in Qatar and across the global market. A key recent partnership was seen between QatarEnergy and the Kuwait Petroleum Company (KPC), which signed a 15-year-long sale of LNG for the supply of 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to the State of Kuwait. His Excellency Mr Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the President and CEO of QatarEnergy showed his delight in the press release announcing the partnership by outlining “I am pleased to be in Kuwait, a country that is dear to
The Future of Energy Development
our hearts, and to build a new long-term partnership between KPC and QatarEnergy, that constitutes a central element in supporting Kuwait’s sustainability goals, particularly in the electricity generation sector. It also reflects our commitment to support the future needs of all our clients, foremost of which is KPC.” As Al-Kaabi outlines, the partnerships seen between QatarEnergy and vital local and international energy companies highlight its every important role in the regulation and support of the energy industry on a global scale.
In fact, this partnership came following an additional agreement between QatarEnergy and Chevron, which outlines that QatarEnergy would acquire a 20% working interest in the production sharing from the Block 5 Offshore field in Suriname. The agreement will see Chevon remain the operator and maintain its 40% interest, whilst Paradise Oil
Company (an affiliate of Suriname’s Stattsolie) will also maintain its ownership over the remaining 40%. However, QatarEnergy’s acquisition highlights its ongoing role in developing the LNG energy sector outside of Qatar, highlighting yet again its reputation for energy development across the world.
What we have seen across QatarEnergy’s operations is a commitment to delivering key energy developments at the heart of a rich LNG deposit. QatarEnergy is now a world leader in sustainable energy development and continues to develop its operations both in Qatar and across the world supported by its strong reputation for energy delivery in the industry. However, every single operation, development and partnership is underpinned by its commitment to deliver accessible, safe, clean, and reliable energy to support the lives of people every day.
TotalEnergies EP Republic of Congo
Through vital exploration and development projects, TotalEnergies has spent the last 55 years as the leading retailer and the number one oil operator in the Republic of Congo. As a subsidiary of the global multi-energy company, TotalEnergies E&P Congo is committed to developing, exploring and producing oil across the coastline to deliver value for the people of the Republic of Congo every day.
TotalEnergies has been in operation in the Republic of Congo since 1968 after it pioneered the first discovery of oil in the country. Since this first discovery, TotalEnergies has been on a mission to deliver sustainable development that would secure the role of the Republic of Congo in the global energy market and bring significant economic benefits to the people and the country in the process. In the Republic of Congo, TotalEnergies operates multiple oilfields and developments including Moho Nord, Moho-Bilondo, Nkossa, Nsoko II, Yanga and Sendji for which the company holds interests, as well as the operations of the Djéno Oil Terminal.
The first ultra-deepwater offshore field in the Republic of Congo was the Moho-Bilondo oil field which was first commissioned in 2008. The project operates at depths between 600m and 900m, for which TotalEnergies holds a 53.5% interest and is the operator of. The remaining interest is held by Chevron and the Congolese national oil company SNPC, who has 31.5% and 15% respectively. The oil field spans 4 reservoirs, with the first discovery dating back to 1995. The first reservoir discovered was Bilondo, with Mobim discovered in 2004, and the Moho Nord Marine-1 and 2, and Moho Nord Marine-3 discovered in the late 2000s.
A current key development project in the Republic of Congo is Moho Nord, an offshore oil project located 75km off the coast. The project covers 2 developments which are the Moho Phase 1bis and Moho Nord fields. Moho Nord encompasses a subsea development which came onstream in 2017 and targeted oil deposits at varying water depths. It covers 34 wells, all of which are tried back to the all-electric Floating Production Unit (FPU) Likouf and a Tension Leg Platform (TLP). Then, Moho Phase 1bis is the other key development under Moho Nord which utilises the Alima FPU which connects 9 subsea wells, and when it was completed added an additional 40,000 barrels of oil a day to the total Moho Nord production. The entire project illustrates TotalEnergies’ expertise in carrying out complex deepwater exploration projects, as the development marks the largest oil project in the country. The maximum production capacity across the two developments totals 140,000 barrels per day and is expected to maintain this output until roughly 2045.
TotalEnergies has currently set out on a strategic project to transform the Moho developments in the Republic of Congo, which would see four new wells drilled and fed into the existing Likouf and Alima

networks. The project will add a valve module to connect to the Alima M11 manifold, and then includes a reconfiguration of the existing control system to seamlessly integrate the new wells into the existing system. This aims to optimise the performance of Alima and will avoid the additional purchases of 4km umbilical to connect them. Once completed, the project is expected to boost production and ensure the sustainability of TotalEnergies’ operation in the country. The infill project aims to add 17,000 barrels per day to the existing production capacity, and so will cement the project’s role as a key growth catalyst for the Republic of Congo.
The project announced just last year that it would award a contract to Aker Solutions, who are experts in subsea equipment, to deliver standard and configurable Subsea Production Systems for the three additional infills of the project. This partnership signifies a vital step in TotalEnergies’ role in the Republic of Congo, as it will see significant investment into the country’s deepwater projects.
TotalEnergies has continued to expand its role across the Republic of Congo, and in April announced it was increasing its interest in the Moho oil field. The announcement made in April outlines that TotalEnergies EP Congo has signed an agreement with Trident Energy which would see TotalEnergies acquire an additional 10% of the Moho license from Trident Energy, and would then also sell 53.5% of its interest in the Nkossa and Nsoko II licenses to Trident Energy. Once completed, TotalEnergies would then hold 63.5% operated interest in the
Moho licence, alongside Trident Energy, (21.5%) and the Société Nationale des Pétroles du Congo (SNPC, 15%). In return, Trident Energy would then hold an 85% operated interest Nkossa and Nsoko II which are two mature offshore oil fields.
Mike Sangster, Senior Vice President Africa, Exploration and Production at TotalEnergies outlined in the press release that, “With these transactions, TotalEnergies continues to dynamically manage its portfolio. In line with our strategy, we focus on low cost, low emission assets, and leverage our deep offshore expertise”. He continues, “As a long-term partner of the Republic of Congo, TotalEnergies remains fully committed to the country through our increased stake and operatorship in the Moho field and, is preparing for the drilling of an exploration well on the Marine XX license before summer 2024.”
Sangster’s comments here highlight the vital role TotalEnergies continues to play across the Republic
Sustainable Energy Development
of Congo as it works to maintain, develop, and assess the country’s role as a leading oil producer in Africa. The agreement signifies the ever-expanding portfolio that TotalEnergies operates in the country, as it continues to bring significant economic impact through its offshore oil development partnerships.
Ultimately, TotalEnergies has continued to develop and expand the energy industry of the Republic of Congo through strategic development which makes the most of the rich oil potential of the region, in order to bring significant economic prosperity to the country. By doing so, TotalEnergies has positioned The Republic of Congo as a leading oil producer in Africa supported by its plethora of experience across the global energy sector. We look forward to seeing how TotalEnergies continues to implement its development projects and enhance the oil potential of the Republic of Congo for many years to come.
TotalEnergies EP Nigeria
TotalEnergies is active across the entire oil and gas value chain of Nigeria, with upstream, midstream and downstream operations spanning the country. TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited (TEPNG), an affiliate of the global TotalEnergies company, has been in operation in Nigeria for more than half a century. Today, in partnership with the Nigerian government, key stakeholders and private companies across the country, TPNG is committed to developing and establishing Nigeria as a key hydrocarbon producer. Nigeria is already one of the leading hydrocarbon producers for TotalEnergies, having produced 204,000 barrels per day (boe/d) in 2022 in hydrocarbons. However, as TEPNG moves towards the future, it is focused on harnessing the oil and gas potential of the region whilst working to implement sustainable measures to maintain its longevity as a key hydrocarbon producer in international markets.
Across Nigeria, TEPNG is focused on the exploration and production of its 31 permits, including 5 petroleum mining leases (PML) across the Akpo and Egina Fields, as well as oil mining licenses (OML) 99, 102, 19 and 138 within the Ikeke Fields. The development of Egina was the flagship offshore project by TEPNG and focused on promoting local development and expertise across the offshore oil and gas industry. The development spans the partnership of TotalEnergies with a 24% stake, the National Petroleum Company (NNPC), SAPETRO Ltd., CNNOC Ltd., and Petrobras, located 130km off the Nigerian coast, at a depth of 1500 metres. At this depth, the development became the first and most ambitious ultra-deep offshore project for TotalEnergies in Nigeria.
The Egina fields were first discovered in 2003, and a subsea production system connected to an FPSO was developed in 2018 and designed to deliver and hold 2.3 million barrels of oil, weighing close to 220,000 metric tons. However, the development poses challenges for TEPNG, which is at such a great water depth. Therefore, Egina requires specific deepwater expertise and operations to navigate the high-pressure and low-temperature challenges of the project. To achieve the complex development, TotalEnergies has developed the Vclay Subsea Production System which has given the teams working across the Egina field more in-depth information and so a better understanding of the reservoir and well positions for continued development.
A key part of this development for TEPNG is ensuring that it is contributing towards the economic development of the country, particularly through the hiring and training of local people, and the purchasing of local goods and services, whilst developing local infrastructure in the process. More than 50% of the workforce in operations across the development are Nigerian, and so its role within the local community is already vast. Additionally, as the project continues to be extended and enhanced, TEPNG has already planned the construction of a 500-meter-long dock designed to allow the assembly of floating production storage and offloading vessels, and once completed will be used across industrial projects to develop Nigeria for the future. This partnership and role that TEPNG
Making History in Nigeria’s Hydrocarbon Market
has established within Nigeria, and particularly in the local community, highlights TEPNG’s growing and vital role across the country’s hydrocarbon industry.
A current key development for TEPNG is the Ubeta Gas Development towards the supply of the liquefied natural gas market of Nigeria. For this TEPNG operates the OML58 onshore licence in Nigeria, with a 40% interest. The project’s development is achieved through the partnership of TotalEnergies with the Nigerian Petroleum Corporation (NNCPL) who have a 60% interest. Ubeta is located in the north-west of Port Harcourt, in the east of the Niger Delta. The area is already home to the Obagi oil field, and the Ibewa gas and condensate field. Gas produced from OML58 is processed through the Obite Treatment Centre, which is supplied to domestic markets, and Nigeria’s LNG market. The development announced in July that a Final Investment Decision (FID) has been reached between TotalEnergies and NNPCL for the development of Ubeta, which will include a 6-well cluster that will tie into the existing Obite Treatment Centre and the existing facilities. The development will see LNG supplied to the Nigeria LNG Plant (NLNG) and therefore be a low-emission and low-cost hydrocarbon development that leverages the existing OML58 gas processing facilities for TEPNG.
In addition to the development of the well clusters and 11km pipelines to transfer products to the Obite Treatment Centre, the project aims to develop a 5MW solar plant, which will further reduce the carbon intensity of the development. The solar plant is currently under construction at the Obite site for the electrification of the drilling rig. For this TotalEnergies continues to work closely with NNPCL to enhance local content, with the majority of the project completed by local workers.
Mike Sangster, Senior Vice President of Africa Exploration and Production at TotalEnergies, outlined
that “Ubeta is the latest in a series of projects developed by TotalEnergies in Nigeria, most recently Ikike and Akpo West. I am pleased that we can launch this new gas project which has been made possible by the Government’s recent incentives for nonassociated gas developments. Ubeta fits perfectly with our strategy of developing low-cost and lowemission projects and will contribute to the Nigerian economy through higher NLNG exports”. Sangster’s comments highlight the vital role TotalEnergies continues to play across Nigeria in harnessing the hydrocarbon resources at its disposal, whilst ensuring its projects are contributing towards the economic and environmental progression of the region at the same time.
This push towards sustainability has long been a goal for TotalEnergies, with it being a key part of its mission worldwide. In Nigeria, TEPNG made history in February as the first Nigerian exploration and production company to end routine flaring on its hydrocarbon operations. TEPNG is working to deliver less carbon-intensive solutions that meet the energy demands of Nigeria, whilst working with

the government to deliver this in a way that fosters a low-carbon economy.
This mission to deliver low-emission projects was focused on in July when TotalEnergies announced that it had begun production at the Akpo Westfield site with the PML2 license. The project includes the tie-back of the field to the existing FPSO facility. The project is expected to see Akpo West contribute 14,000 barrels of condensation production per day, with the goal of reaching 4 million cubic meters of gas per day by 2028. Mike Sangster outlined in the press release that “After Ikike in 2002, TotalEnergies is pleased to start production of another tie-back project in Nigeria, Akpo West, which will contribute to maintaining the production of the existing Akpo facilities by developing additional nearby resources. This project fits the Company’s strategy of developing low-cost and low-emission projects”.
He continues, “This project leverages TotalEnergies’ solid footprint in Nigeria and will quickly bring value to the country, TotalEnergies and its partners”. Sangster’s comments highlight that in working with CNOOC (45% interest), Sapetro (15%), Prime 130 (16%) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd on the PML2 project, TotalEnergies (24%) is utilising the expertise and experience of the partnership to bring key condensate production to Nigeria, whilst working to minimise its greenhouse gas emission and deliver significant gas potential to the region in the process.
As TEPNG moves towards the future, it announced that it would be selling its retaining interest in Shell Petroleum Development Company JV (SPDC JV), which is a joint venture between the Nigerian National Petroleum Company of Nigeria (30% operator), TEPNG (10%) and NAOC (5%). The venture covers 18 licenses in the Niger Delta. The announcement outlines that TEPNG will sell 10% of its participating interests and all its rights and
obligations in 15 licenses to the SPDC JV to Chappal Energies. The sale mainly covers the oil-producing licences, spanning close to 14,000 boe/d in 2023. In addition to this, TEPNG will also transfer 10% of its participating interest in 3 other licenses of SPDC JV to Chappal Energies, which are in gas production and include OML23, OML28 and OML77.
However, TEPNG will retain full economic interest in these licences which currently account for 40% of Nigeria LNG’s gas supply. The transaction of USD 860 million, closing subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals, will, as outlined by Nicolas Terras, President of Exploration and Production at TotalEnergies, “will allow us [TotalEnergies] to focus our onshore Nigeria presence solely on the integrated gas value chain and is designed to ensure the continuity of feed gas supply to Nigeria LNG in the future”. As we can see from this sale, TEPNG is looking towards solidifying its role across the hydrocarbon industry through strategic investment and divestment of its assets to ensure it can continue to bring significant development to Nigeria’s oil and gas industry in the process.
Ultimately, Nigeria is a key country for TotalEnergies’ global operations, and through TEPNG it has been developing the vital exploration and production of hydrocarbons for the benefit of the people of Nigeria. With key development, projects and assets across its portfolio, it continues to drive Nigeria’s oil and gas industry forward, whilst currently looking for strategies to make this dynamic movement more sustainable for the future of the world.
