TotalEnergies highlights long-term commitment at energy conference
TotalEnergies has reaffirmed its operational presence in Nigeria during the 2026 Association of Energy Correspondents of Nigeria conference.
Key points
- TotalEnergies marks 70 years downstream and 67 years upstream in Nigeria.
- The company cited recent Final Investment Decisions for the Ubeta and IMA gas projects.
- Both new developments incorporate zero routine flaring and methane monitoring technology.
Reaffirming operational ties
TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited has used the recent Association of Energy Correspondents of Nigeria event in Lagos to underscore its enduring role in the national energy landscape. According to EnviroNews Nigeria, the firm noted its long history of operations spanning seven decades downstream and nearly as long upstream.
Speaking at the gathering themed around asset access and empowerment, company representative Senan Murray highlighted that ongoing dialogues between industry participants and media professionals remain vital for public comprehension of the sector.
Recent project milestones
Mr Murray pointed to two significant investment approvals secured within the past year as evidence of strengthening investor confidence. Following the June 2024 decision alongside the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to advance the Ubeta project, the company reached a subsequent final investment decision for the IMA gas development.
Describing the operating climate as increasingly favourable, the firm anticipates further positive developments.
Environmental measures
Sustainability initiatives formed a core part of the presentation, with the company emphasising a strategy focused on expanding output while reducing emissions. Both recent project approvals feature zero routine gas flaring, aligning with government incentives for non-associated gas utilisation.
Additionally, TotalEnergies has collaborated with NNPC to deploy proprietary technology for site-wide methane tracking and control.
