United States: TotalEnergies Enters 40 Chevron-Operated Exploration Blocks, Building on a Successful U.S. Offshore Partnership Between Both Companies
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) announces the acquisition of a 25% working interest in a portfolio of exploration leases Offshore U.S. from Chevron (operator).
The 40 Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) federal leases, spanning approximately 1,000 km2 and located 175 to 330 km from shore, include 13 blocks located in the Walker Ridge area, 9 blocks in the Mississippi Canyon area and 18 blocks in the East Breaks area.
The transaction provides access to multiple offshore Exploration plays and prospects, strengthening the successful U.S. offshore collaboration with Chevron beyond the existing partnerships in Ballymore (40% TotalEnergies) which achieved first production this year, Anchor (37.14%) where production started-up last year, and the Jack (25%) and Tahiti (17%) producing assets.
“This transaction is in line with our consistent strategy of filling our Exploration portfolio with low cost and low emissions options, and will significantly expand TotalEnergies’ Offshore U.S. exploration acreage, combining a wide range of geological plays and prospectivity,” said Kevin McLachlan, Senior Vice- President Exploration. “Building on the momentum of the recent Ballymore and Anchor startups, we are very pleased to expand our successful partnership with Chevron, and we expect to mature Exploration drill decisions on these blocks utilizing advanced 3D imaging technology to unlock large remaining U.S. Offshore production potential.”
