Energy company TotalEnergies is strengthening its oil and gas operations across West and Central Africa, with fresh investments and expanded offshore activities in both Nigeria and Angola.
The company has increased its focus on deepwater exploration and production, particularly in offshore fields where it already holds significant stakes. In Nigeria, TotalEnergies has entered new production-sharing agreements and adjusted its asset portfolio to concentrate more on operated offshore projects. These moves include acquiring interests in new exploration blocks in the Niger Delta region and restructuring partnerships to boost efficiency in existing oil fields.
It also expanded its involvement in key offshore assets by increasing its stake in one of its Nigerian deepwater blocks, allowing it to further develop discoveries in the area and link them to existing production facilities. At the same time, the company has continued adjusting its holdings in mature fields, selling portions of non-operated interests as part of a broader strategy to streamline its portfolio.
In Angola, TotalEnergies is pursuing long-term offshore development projects, combining exploration of new deepwater zones with upgrades to existing oil infrastructure. A major project currently underway is expected to boost production significantly once it comes online later in the decade, with modern production systems designed to reduce environmental impact.
The company has also extended agreements tied to long-standing offshore licenses in Angola, securing continued access to key producing fields for many years ahead.
Additional partnerships with global energy firms have opened new exploration opportunities in frontier basins, signaling continued confidence in the region’s offshore potential.
Recent developments in both countries reflect a broader strategy by TotalEnergies to balance exploration, redevelopment of existing assets, and long-term production stability across Africa’s major oil-producing regions.
