AFRICAN ENERGY STORIESPatrick Pouyanné,CEO of TotalEnergiesTotalEnergies Takes FID on ThreeMajor Oil, Gas and Solar EnergyProjects in AngolaAs part of the rollout of its multi-energystrategy in Angola, TotalEnergiesannounces the launch of the Begoniaoil field, and Quiluma and Maboqueiro gasfields developments, as well as its firstphotovoltaic project in the country, with acapacity of 35 MWp and the possibility ofadding 45 MWp in a second phase.Begonia, the first development on Block17/06TotalEnergies today announces the finalinvestment decision for Begonia, the firstdevelopment of block 17/06, located 150kilometers off the Angolan coast, inagreement with concession holder AgênciaNacional de Petróleo, Gás e Biocombustíveis(ANPG) and its partners on Block 17/06.The Begonia development consists of fivewells tied back to the Pazflor FPSO (floatingproduction, storage and offloading unit),already in operation on Block 17. Aftercommissioning, expected in late 2024, it willadd 30,000 barrels a day to the FPSO'sproduction.After CLOV Phase 3, another satellite projectthat produces 30,000 barrels a day and waslaunched on Block 17 in June 2022, Begonia isthe second TotalEnergies-operated project inAngola to use a standardized subseaproduction system, saving up to 20% on costsand shortening lead times for equipmentdelivery.The project represents an investment of $850million and 1.3 million man-hours ofwork, 70% of which will be carried out inAngola.Quiluma and Maboqueiro, Angola's firstnon-associated natural gas projectsTotalEnergies also announces the finalinvestment decision for the “NonAssociated Gas 1” (NAG1) project, inwhich the Company holds an 11.8%interest alongside its partners, Eni(operator with 25.6%), Chevron (31%),Sonangol P&P (19.8%) and bp (11.8%).NAG1 is the first non-associated naturalgas project developed in Angola. Gasproduced from the Quiluma andMaboqueiro offshore fields will supplythe Angola LNG plant, improving Angola'sLNG production capacity and theavailability of domestic gas for thecountry's industrial development.Production is scheduled to start in mid-2026.Quilemba, Angola's first TotalEnergiessolar plantTotalEnergies, alongside the Ministry ofEnergy and Water as well as its partnersSonangol and Greentech, was alsoawarded by the Angolan authorities, theconcession for the construction of theQuilemba photovoltaic plant, with initialcapacity of 35 MWp and the possibility ofadding 45 MWp in a second phase.The plant will be located in the southerncity of Lubango and should come onstream at the end of 2023.It will contribute to the decarbonization ofAngola’s energy mix and, through a fixedpricePower Purchase Agreement (PPA),deliver significant savings for the Angolangovernment compared to the fuel used inexisting power plants. TotalEnergies holds an51% interest in Quilemba solar, alongsideaffiliates of Sonangol EP (30%) and AngolaEnvironment Technology (Greentech, 19%)."Begonia, NAG1 and Quilemba illustrate thedeployment of our multi-energy strategy inAngola, where TotalEnergies has been activefor nearly seventy years," said PatrickP o u y a n n é , C h a i r m a n a n d C E O o fTotalEnergies. “With Begonia, the first subseatieback to another block, we are leveragingthe existing Pazflor infrastructure, reducingcosts, thanks largely to the standardization ofsubsea equipment, and continuing toinnovate in the deep offshore. With the NAG1project, we will contribute to the country’sindustrial development and enable Angola,from 2026, to increase its LNG production andto contribute to the security of supply ofEurope and Asia.“Quilemba will allow us to harness thecountry's solar potential and develop asustainable model for the production ofelectricity. These three projects demonstrateTotalEnergies' ambition to support Angoladuring the energy transition by producingenergy with low carbon intensity anddeveloping renewables in a country withstrong potential."TotalEnergies has been present in Angolasince 1953 and today employs around 1,500people across different business segments.With a diversified portfolio, deep offshoreoperated assets representing more than 45%of the country’s oil production, servicestations in partnership with Sonangol andrenewable energy projects, TotalEnergies inAngola is a key player in supporting thecountry’s sustainable energy transition.TotalEnergies operates Block 17/06 with a30% interest, alongside affiliates of SonangolP&P (30%), SSI (27.5%), ACREP/Somoil (5%),Falcon Oil (5%) and PTTEP (2.5%).TotalEnergies is a global multi-energycompany that produces and marketsenergies: oil and biofuels, natural gas andgreen gases, renewables and electricity.23THE ENERGY REPUBLIC I SPECIAL EDITION
