These are the first conversions of contracts in Algeria under the regime of the new Petroleum Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this context, Sonatrach and TotalEnergies will pursue the investment program already launched to increase the gas production of TFTII and TFT South, which includes the upgrade of existing facilities and the drilling of additional wells. The combined production of the two fields is expected to exceed 100,000 boe per day by 2026, versus a level of around 60,000 boe per day in 2022, thus increasing the potential export of Algerian gas to the European market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>European energy security: additional LNG deliveries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under a second agreement, Sonatrach and TotalEnergies have extended for the year 2024 deliveries of 2 million tons per year of LNG to TotalEnergies at the port of Fos-Cavaou, near Marseille, France. These deliveries of Algerian natural gas by sea contribute directly to energy security in France and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Energy transition: developing renewables in Algeria<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TotalEnergies and Sonatrach have also signed a third deal to examine the development of projects to produce renewable energy in Algeria, specifically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Renewables projects to solarize exploration and production sites for oil and gas, and to power seawater desalination plants;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A project to produce renewable, low carbon hydrogen for the export market;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An R&amp;D program in low carbon energies and the energy transition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8216;I am delighted to sign these new agreements with our strategic partner Sonatrach. They testify to TotalEnergies\u2019 close ties to Algeria, whose resources contribute directly to Europe\u2019s energy supply and security.
