TotalEnergies - Brazil:  Start-up of Lapa South-West

 

TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) (48%, operator) announces the
start-up of the Lapa South-West project, located in the Santos Basin,
approximately 300 kilometers offshore Brazil.

The Lapa South-West project, including three wells connected to the existing
Lapa floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) unit, will increase
production from the Lapa field by 25,000 barrels per day.

“The start-up of our operated Lapa South-West project marks another
important milestone for TotalEnergies in Brazil, a key growth country for our
Company,” said Nicolas Terraz, President Exploration & Production of
TotalEnergies. “This project, which leverages the available capacity of the
existing Lapa facilities, delivers low cost and low emission oil production in
line with our Company strategy and contributes to the achievement of our
objective to grow our production by 3% per year until 2030”.

With this start-up, TotalEnergies continues to ramp up its portfolio in
Brazil, following the start-up of Mero-4
