TotalEnergies is the most active international energy major on the African continent — simultaneously operating EACOP (91% complete, first oil Q4 2026), Mozambique LNG Area 1 (restarted January 2026, 45% complete), and significant upstream and downstream operations in Nigeria, Angola, Senegal, Gabon, South Africa and across North Africa. With ~$200bn in annual revenues and operations in 130 countries, it is one of the world’s five largest integrated energy companies.
Company Profile
Key Developments
Two major African projects simultaneously in active construction: (1) Mozambique LNG Area 1 — restarted January 2026, 45% complete, 7,000–8,000 workers on site, first LNG 2029. (2) EACOP — 91% complete, first oil Q4 2026. Also: Tilenga upstream field development (Uganda, 400+ wells, first oil linked to EACOP); Block 1 Senegal (Sangomar deepwater oil field — first oil achieved 2024, now producing); Active LNG portfolio in Nigeria (NLNG shareholder) and Angola (Angola LNG).
Key Risks
Security situation in Cabo Delgado (Mozambique LNG) remains the single largest operational risk in its African portfolio. EACOP faces ongoing international legal and reputational pressure from environmental campaign groups. Long-term oil price trajectory creates returns uncertainty across a large, long-life African asset base.
What Happens Next
EACOP first oil shipment (Q4 2026) and Mozambique LNG Train 1 mechanical completion (2027-2028) are the two most watched TotalEnergies Africa milestones.
