PARIS - TotalEnergies (EPA:TTEF) SE (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has completed the acquisition of a 50% interest in SapuraOMV Upstream (SapuraOMV), an independent gas producer in Malaysia, previously held jointly by OMV and Sapura Upstream Assets. This move bolsters the company's presence in the region and enhances its portfolio of upstream gas assets.
The transaction gives TotalEnergies a 40% operated interest in Malaysia's offshore block SK408 and a 30% operated interest in block SK310. These assets are expected to significantly contribute to the company's production volumes, with an anticipated output of around 590 million cubic feet per day (Mcf/d) of natural gas and 10 thousand barrels per day (kb/d) of condensates in 2024. The production will supply the Bintulu LNG plant operated by Petronas, Malaysia's national oil company.
TotalEnergies, operating in Malaysia since 1985, holds additional interests in the region, including a 40% stake in block SB412 and 34.9% in blocks SB-2K and SB-N, as well as an 85% interest in block DW2E. The company employs approximately 300 people in Malaysia post-acquisition.
The successful acquisition aligns with TotalEnergies' strategy of managing assets with low production costs and emission intensity. The acquired assets have a production cost below $5 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe) and an emission intensity under 10 kilograms of CO2 equivalent per boe.
TotalEnergies, an integrated energy company active in around 120 countries, is committed to delivering more reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy. In addition to its upstream activities, it markets petroleum products in Malaysia through TotalEnergies Marketing Malaysia and collaborates with Petronas and Mitsui on a CO2 storage project in Southeast Asia.
