TotalEnergies has discovered oil and gas at the OML 102 offshore oilfield in Nigeria, the French company has announced.
The well is located in shallow waters, 60km off the south-east coast of Nigeria.
Ntokon oil and gas discovery, which is located 20km from the Ofon field facilities, is due to be built using a tie-back to the existing facilities.
TotalEnergies exploration and production president Nicolas Terraz said: “The Ntokon discovery opens a promising outlook for new tie-back development. After the start-up of production of the Ikike tie-back on OML99 in 2022, this new success in the area further demonstrates the potential of nearby exploration to create value within our low-cost, low-emission strategy.”
OML 102 is operated by TotalEnergies Nigeria with a 40% interest, alongside state-oil firm NNPC Ltd which holds the remaining 60%.
