Gold prices add to record high amid fiscal, tariff concerns
PARIS - TotalEnergies has been awarded the Nzombo exploration permit in the Republic of the Congo, the company announced in a press release.
The 1,000 square kilometer permit is located 100 kilometers off the coast of Pointe-Noire, near TotalEnergies’ existing Moho production facilities. The company will hold a 50% operating interest in the project, with partners QatarEnergy (35%) and the national company SNPC (15%) holding the remaining stakes.
According to the work program, drilling of one exploration well is expected to begin before the end of 2025.
Kevin McLachlan, Senior Vice-President Exploration at TotalEnergies, said the award "reflects our continued strategy of expanding our Exploration portfolio with high impact prospects, which can be developed leveraging our existing facilities."
The Nzombo permit represents a continuation of TotalEnergies’ long-standing partnership with the Republic of the Congo, where the company already operates production facilities.
TotalEnergies describes itself as a global integrated energy company active in approximately 120 countries, with operations spanning oil, biofuels, natural gas, biogas, hydrogen, renewables and electricity.
