On the occasion of the Angola Oil & Gas Conference, Patrick Pouyann\u00e9, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, announced several exploration successes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acacia-5: from discovery to production in 3 months<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TotalEnergies (38%, operator) has announced the Acacia-5 near-by discovery on Block 17. First Oil will be achieved only three months after the discovery made in June 2026, through a fast-track development leveraging the available capacity on the Pazflor FPSO. Acacia-5 shall increase Block 17 production by 6,000 barrels per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Acacia-5 is the second exploration success recorded in 2026 across TotalEnergies’ Angolan portfolio, following the recent Block 0 discovery in the prolific Lower Congo Basin, where TotalEnergies holds a 10% interest alongside Chevron, operator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entry into new exploration blocks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TotalEnergies has signed agreements with the concessionaire Ag\u00eancia Nacional de Petr\u00f3leo, G\u00e1s e Biocombust\u00edveis (ANPG), to enter with a 40% operated interest in exploration Blocks 17\/25 and 32\/21, located in the heart of the prolific Lower Congo Basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These promising blocks benefit from extensive existing 3D seismic coverage and offer access to several prospective geological plays. They are located close to existing facilities in TotalEnergies-operated Blocks 17 and 32, where six FPSOs are currently producing, therefore allowing for future tie-backs and cost-efficient development of additional resources through existing facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, TotalEnergies signed in February 2026 a Head of Agreement (HoA) with ANPG, and ExxonMobil to farm-in with a 35% interest into exploration Blocks 40, 41, 42 and 58 in the Benguela Basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
