West Africa / Re: Angola - Blocks 20/11 and ...
Last post by Administrator - Apr 07, 2026, 09:39 AMAngola: Total Acquires Interests into Two New Offshore Licenses in View of Developing a New Production Hub
16 Dec 2019
Paris – Total has signed a sale and purchase agreement with state-owned Sonangol of Angola to acquire interests in Blocks 20/11 and 21/09 in the Kwanza Basin, offshore Luanda.
Subject to the approvals of the competent authorities and partners:
The Group will hold a 50% working interest, alongside Sonangol (20%) and BP (30%), in Block 20/11, located in the central Kwanza Basin in water depths ranging from 300 to 1,700 meters.
The Group will hold an 80% working interest alongside Sonangol (20%) in Block 21/09, located in the south-central Kwanza Basin in water depths ranging from 1,600 to 1,800 meters.
The wells drilled so far in the two blocks have produced four discoveries — Cameia, Mavinga, Bicuar and Golfinho — and Total and its partners will seek to unlock the value of these prospects by creating a development hub. The Group has also committed to explore for additional potential resources in the blocks.
As part of the agreement, Total will become operator of the development of the two licenses before putting in place an operating company together with Sonangol 3 years after the production start-up.
As per the transaction terms, Total will pay to Sonangol $400 million at closing, to which will be added $100 million at FID and some additional payments along the life of the project depending on production and crude oil price for a maximum cumulative amount capped at $250 million.
"We are very pleased to demonstrate once again our pioneer spirit and our commitment to continue developing Angola's energy sector by becoming the first company to undertake a development in the Kwanza Basin," stated Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Total.
"Sonangol welcomes Total as new operator of these strategic blocks," added Sebastião Gaspar Martins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sonangol. "We are confident that Total's recognized offshore expertise will help to quickly unlock discovered resources in order to continue sustaining the Angola's production."
Total in Angola
Total has been present in Angola since 1953, where it today employs around 1,500 people. All five of the Group's business segments operate in the country: Exploration & Production, Gas, Renewables & Power, Refining & Chemicals, Marketing & Services, and Trading & Shipping.
Total's equity production averaged 211,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2018 from operated blocks 17 and 32, and from non-operated assets 0, 14, 14K, and Angola LNG. Total is the country's leading oil operator with close to 45% of Angola's operated oil production.
Total also operates Block 17/06 in the Lower Congo Basin, Block 16, location of the Chissonga discovery — both in development phase —, and Block 48 in the emerging ultra-deep offshore play and still in exploration phase.
In the gas sector, Total holds a 13.6% stake in the 5.2-million-ton-per-year Angola LNG liquefaction plant, which is supplied with associated gas from the country's producing offshore oil fields. Total also recently entered the New Gas Consortium as a key player in developing Angola's natural gas resources.

Marine Terminals / UAE - Fujairah Oil Terminal
Last post by Administrator - Apr 06, 2026, 05:07 AMFujairah Oil Terminal FZC (FOT) is a world class 1.177 million cubic meters onshore oil storage facility based in the rapidly developing port of Fujairah, which is located in the United Arab Emirates outside the Straits of Hormuz on the Indian Ocean. FOT is an independent third party storage terminal, owned by a group of shareholders including the government of Fujairah and store Crude oil, Fuel oil, Gasoil and Gasoline. The storage facility meets international standards, and attracts independent major & national oil companies to lease and utilise the facilities on a long-term sustainable basis.
Jetties Port of Fujairah has world class jetties to accommodate all types of vessels starting with a small barge (3000 DWT) all the way up to a large VLCC (300,000 DWT).
FOT offers highly valued services including:
Fujairah started out as an oil hub mainly for bunker fuel in the mid-90s and the activity has been growing ever since, to the extent that Fujairah is now the second-largest bunkering hub in the world after Singapore. The strategic location of the Port of Fujairah is certainly extremely advantageous to Fujairah Oil Terminal FZC (FOT), as Fujairah being the only one of the seven Emirates of the UAE, to lie wholly outside the Persian Gulf, on the Indian Ocean side of the Strait of Hormuz. This unique location provides easy access to a corridor out of the Persian Gulf that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz in case of any geopolitical tension. Therefore, Fujairah grew very quickly from a humble bunkering location, into a world class hub for refined products trading and strategic Crude storage location. This is translated in the increased number of vessels and throughput served by our terminal and the port of Fujairah, especially over the last four years.
The increased competition in Fujairah Market over the past 8 years has turned the table around from a monopoly to a buyer's market. This only meant that service, reliable infrastructure and experienced staff play a major role in keeping the terminal at a high utilization rate rather than just a brand name or price.
Contango in the Crude market is a small fraction of the market in Fujairah. Traders in the recent years focus more on sustainable business models, covering market shortages or strategic storage, making bulk and also serve niche market
- Capacity 1.177 million cubic metres.
- Tanks 36
- Products Crude oil, Fuel oil, Gasoil and Gasoline.
- Activity Third party independent storage, make bulk, break bulk.
