Total’s interests in Syria have been squeezed by international sanctions. The company has also managed to cope with production losses in Yemen after frequent sabotage and security concerns have hampered the transport of crude to refineries and export terminals. Total also has significant interests in Qatar, where it has been present since 1936.
The company holds a number of stakes in the Al Khalij field (100%), the NFB Block (20%) in the North Field, the Qatargas 1 liquefaction plant (10%), the Dolphin project (24.5%) and train 5 of Qatargas 2 (16.7%).
The group’s production was 164 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 141 kboe/d in 2009 and 121 kboe/d in 2008, production substantially increased with the start-ups of Qatargas 2.
