Client Profile
Our History
The new Total was created through two successive mergers; the first when former Total joined with Belgian Oil Company, Petrofina to form TotalFina in 1999, and the second, when TotalFina combined with French Oil Company, Elf Aquitaine in 2000 to create TotalFinaElf. But on May 6, 2003, the group adopted Total as our new name.
In Nigeria, the upstream activities of the Total Group are carried out by the following subsidiaries:
Total E & P Nigeria Limited (TEPNG), Operator of the NNPC/TEPNG Joint Venture which was incorporated in May 1962 under the name of SAFRAP; Total Upstream Nigeria Limited (TUPNI); and Total E & P Deepwater, A to H Ltd. The company also has equities in Bonny and Brass LNGs.
Objectives
Total Upstream Companies in Nigeria will pursue new opportunities and challenges for both individual and corporate growth in a multi-dimensional way, taking into account the Business, Health, Safety, Environment and Corporate Social Responsibility dimensions, in a balanced way.
We shall achieve a major positive step in our gas flare-down efforts with the successful stoppage of gas flaring in our land and offshore operations in accordance with the guidelines outlined by the Nigerian authorities.
Our Vision
At Total Upstream in Nigeria, our vision is to see that our companies and their staff are recognized as the preferred operators and partners in the country by Government, our contractors. We should be recognized, not only for our technical expertise and business effectiveness, but also for the global social impact of our activities especially in Sustainable Development/Community Relations and the Nigerian Content.
We also aim to increase our reserves and production in line with the national objectives. This we intend to achieve through our growth strategy of exploring and appraising our mature areas; slowing down the decline of producing fields; developing new reserves by extensive exploration; developing and producing already-discovered new fields; acquiring and exploring new blocks; monetizing gas and stopping gas flaring.
By doing this, we will add value to the investments of our shareholders while promoting development in Nigeria.

Areas of Expertise
Tenacity and Innovation
Total applies innovative methods that permit it to 'strike gold' in relinquished fields (e. g Obagi, Amenam) where others have failed. This innovative thinking permitted it to move into the gas arena, long before it became fashionable. It also thought about diversifying its portfolio to permit the 'sharing of pains and gains' that shielded it from the extreme effects of cyclicity in the business.
Total is constantly exploring new ways to build on its cutting edge technological excellence through massive investment in Research and Development.
Game-changing concepts permitted it to make gains such as the Ofon field where the exploration model was changed from structural to stratigraphic or in the Amenam field where the game-changing concept was the boldness to look for sands below 3500m when conventional wisdom at that time posited that only shales should exist.
Out-of-the-box thinking has always been a strong point for Total.
Major Projects
Our on-going projects include: OML58 Upgrade phase 1 including a 440 MW Power Plant, OML 100 Long Term, Ofon Phase 2, and Ikike. Usan produced first oil February 24, 2012. Our upstream future developments include: OML58 Upgrade phase 2, Egina, Nkarika, Ukot, Ima and Toju. The key message is that Total has come to stay in Nigeria and is committed to the future of the country and that of its employees.
