TotalEnergies Starts 60,000 bpd from BEGONIA and CLOV Phase 3 Offshore Tie‑Backs in Angola

(IN BRIEF) TotalEnergies has initiated oil production from its BEGONIA and CLOV Phase 3 subsea tie‑back projects in Angolan offshore Blocks 17/06 and 17, adding a combined 60,000 bpd by utilizing existing PAZFLOR and CLOV FPSO capacity. BEGONIA, the first inter‑block development on 17/06, ties five wells to PAZFLOR, while CLOV Phase 3 ties four wells to the CLOV FPSO. Both developments feature low incremental costs and carbon intensities. TotalEnergies leads each project alongside partners including Sonangol E&P, Equinor, ExxonMobil, Azule Energy, SSI, ETU Energias, and Falcon Oil. Company leadership emphasizes these tie‑backs’ role in boosting upstream output by over 3 percent in 2025 and supporting Angola’s goal of maintaining production above one million barrels per day, as well as advancing local‑content initiatives.

(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 24-Jul-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — TotalEnergies has commenced production from its BEGONIA and CLOV Phase 3 offshore developments in Angola, collectively adding 60,000 barrels per day (bpd) of new output by utilizing spare capacity on existing FPSOs. Both projects—subsea tie‑backs to the PAZFLOR and CLOV floating production, storage and offloading units—feature low marginal costs and reduced carbon footprints, thanks to the reuse of installed infrastructure.

BEGONIA marks the first inter‑block development on Block 17/06, operated by TotalEnergies with a 30 percent stake alongside Sonangol E&P (30 percent), SSI (27.5 percent), ETU Energias (7.5 percent), Falcon Oil (5 percent) and the partners of Block 17. Situated 150 km off the Angolan coast, the project comprises five subsea wells tied back to the PAZFLOR FPSO and delivers 30,000 bpd of oil.

On Block 17, TotalEnergies (38 percent operator) and partners—Equinor (22.16 percent), ExxonMobil (19 percent), Azule Energy (15.84 percent) and Sonangol E&P (5 percent)—have brought CLOV Phase 3 online. Located 140 km offshore, it encompasses four subsea wells connected to the CLOV FPSO, also producing 30,000 bpd.

“By leveraging the PAZFLOR and CLOV vessels, these tie‑backs exemplify how we can expand production by over 3 percent this year while minimizing costs and emissions,” said Nicolas Terraz, President Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies. Paulino Jerónimo, Chairman of Angola’s National Agency for Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels, added, “First Oil from BEGONIA and CLOV 3 will help Angola sustain output above one million barrels per day, showcase local content collaboration, and reflect the sector’s innovation and dynamism.”
