Clean marine fuels: TOTAL charters four new LNG-powered vessels
On October 28, 2020, TOTAL announced it is pursuing its strategy to reduce greenhouse gases emissions in maritime transportation, by chartering four Aframax-type vessels equipped with Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) propulsion. These vessels, each with a capacity of 110,000 tons of crude oil or refined products, are scheduled to be delivered in 2023 and will join the time-chartered fleet of TOTAL. The first two vessels will be chartered from shipowner Hafnia, and the remaining two from Viken Shipping.
The vessels have been designed with the most efficient LNG propulsion technologies to reduce emissions, allowing a significant decrease in greenhouse gases, of more than 5,000 tons per year and per ship compared to conventional vessels.
The supply of LNG for these four LNG-powered vessels will be provided by Total Marine Fuels Global Solutions, TOTAL’s dedicated business unit in charge of worldwide bunkering activities.
South Africa: TOTAL makes second significant gas condensate discovery
On October 28, 2020, TOTAL announced that it made a significant gas condensate discovery on the Luiperd prospect, located on Block 11B/12B in the Outeniqua Basin, 175 kilometers off the southern coast of South Africa. This discovery follows the adjacent play opening Brulpadda discovery, which proved in 2019 a significant new petroleum province in the region.
The Luiperd well was drilled to a total depth of about 3,400 meters and encountered 73 meters of net gas condensate pay in well-developed and good quality Lower Cretaceous reservoirs. Following a comprehensive coring and logging program, the well will be tested to assess the dynamic reservoir characteristics and deliverability.
The Block 11B/12B covers an area of 19,000 square kilometers, with water depths ranging from 200 to 1,800 meters. It is operated by TOTAL with a 45% working interest, alongside Qatar Petroleum (25%), CNR international (20%) and Main Street, a South African consortium (10%).

TOTAL thus solidified its position as France’s second-largest solar developer with 606 MW of projects in all the sections of the calls for tenders.1
