Nigeria Eyes Turn-Around in Deepwater Oil, Fiscal Incentives Generate Appetite

Nigeria is set for a major turnaround in deepwater crude oil extraction, Wood Mackenzie said in an article on Thursday, in which its analysts shared their updated views on the country's prospects after attending the Nigeria Oil and Gas conference in Abuja last week.Nigeria, Africa's largest liquids producer, has huge deepwater potential, but it has gone more than a decade without major investment until a final investment decision for Bonga North in 2024. Deepwater liquids output has fallen below 500,000 barrels per day from a 800,000-bbl/d peak in 2016.That is likely to change now. Nigeria's government is now aiming for 3 million bbl/d output and 12 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas by 2030 and to reverse decline through regulatory reform and fiscal incentives.Six deepwater legacy contracts between state-run Nigerian National Petroleum and international oil companies were extended in 2022, while new incentives were introduced in 2024, including tax credits for fields that reach final investment decision before 2029.Oil companies have taken note and are pursuing deepwater development plans. Four large greenfield projects could alone produce more than 2 billion barrels of oil equivalent, Wood Mackenzie said.Shell (SHEL), ExxonMobil (XOM), Eni (E) and TotalEnergies (TTE) have raised the priority of Nigerian deepwater projects that previously were unappealing before the introduction of incentives.Evidence of this is Shell's 2024 FID on Bonga North, 20 years after it was discovered, and ExxonMobil's approval last week of the $1 billion Usan Infill Project as part of a pledge to invest $10 billion to develop deepwater assets in Nigeria.TotalEnergies recently said it would acquire Conoil's 50% stake in the Egina South discovery while Shell bought 10% of TotalEnergies' stake in OML 118 to boost its Bonga Southwest-Aparo project.WoodMackenzie said Nigeria has a strong opportunity to reverse decline in deepwater output, with projects collectively adding a potential 700,000 barrels of liquids and 950 billion cubic feet per day of gas.Risks are mainly centered around project execution while others include partner alignment, competition for capital, unitization, regulatory approvals, gas sales agreements and supply chain constraints.On the other hand there is some spare capacity at present on existing floating production and storage, but also some "creaky" infrastructure.The gauge of whether Nigeria's deepwater ambitions will be realized, can be gauged to a degree by whether Bonga Southwest-Aparo, Zabazaba and Preowei reach FID within 18 months."If these projects get over the line, Nigeria's deepwater resurgence will prove it has real bite," the article concluded.

TotalEnergies Sees Higher Q2 Upstream, Downstream Results as Oil Prices Rise

TotalEnergies (TTE) expects Q2 hydrocarbon production to be nearly 2.4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, supported by about 4% organic growth, the company said Thursday.Average liquids price is expected to be $91.60 per barrel, compared with $73.70/bbl in Q1 and $65.60/bbl a year ago. Average gas price in Q2 is expected to drop to $5.55 per million British thermal unit from $5.59/MMBtu in Q1 and $5.63/MMBtu a year ago.The company expects exploration and production cash flow to increase by about $1 billion from Q1 on higher liquids prices, partially affected by production that was not lifted due to Middle East disruptions.TotalEnergies expects integrated LNG results to decline due to weaker gas trading, while integrated power and downstream cash flow are projected to increase following the EPH transaction, stronger refining margins and resilient oil trading.The company also expects working capital to decline by $1 billion to $1.5 billion during the quarter and its gearing ratio to improve by about 2 percentage points.

TotalEnergies Production to Hit 2.4 Mboe/d in Q2 Despite Regional Challenges

TotalEnergies (TTE) expects Q2 hydrocarbon production to near 2.4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, the company said on Thursday.The impact of the Middle East conflict on production was estimated at 210,000 barrels per day, lower than the 360,000 barrels per day previously forecast, due to a successful ramp-up of operations in the UAE and the resumption of production in other regional countries during June, Total said.Average liquids price is expected to be $91.6 per barrel, compared with $73.7/bbl in Q1 and $65.6/bbl a year ago.Exploration and Production segment results are expected to rise, although they will be adjusted to account for a portion of the quarter's production that could not be lifted and was valued at lower end-of-June crude prices, the company said.Meanwhile, the integrated LNG segment faced a significant decline, largely attributed to underperformance in gas trading amid a flat European market, it added. Average gas price in Q2 is expected to drop to $5.55 per million British thermal unit from $5.59/MMBtu in Q1 and $5.63/MMBtu a year ago.Conversely, the downstream segment is expected to see a sharp increase in results and cash flow compared to Q1 2026.This growth is supported by higher refining and petrochemical margins, as well as strong oil trading results that remained stable throughout the period, the energy major added.

US-Iran Tensions Disrupt LNG Trade, Cloud Strait of Hormuz Shipments, Vortexa Says

US-Iran tensions are disrupting global liquefied natural gas trade, weakening Asian imports and clouding prompt supply routes through the Strait of Hormuz, Vortexa said in a weekly note on Monday.Asia received 4.3 million metric tons across 66 cargoes last week, the lowest level since mid-May and more than 10% below its four-week average, Vortexa said.China imported 800,000 mt on 13 cargoes, its weakest level since April. South Korea received 600,000 mt across nine cargoes, nearly 20% below its recent average, the firm said.Japan bucked the regional trend, with imports reaching 1.2 million mt across 20 cargoes, almost 10% above the four-week average. India also received 600,000 mt on eight cargoes, over 5% above its recent average, according to the note.Pakistan secured two spot cargoes from BP (BP) and TotalEnergies (TTE) and expects another BP shipment on July 15-16 after delays to Qatari supply.Asian spot LNG averaged $17.4 per million British thermal units, its highest since the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, the firm said.Europe imported 1.8 million mt across 35 cargoes, about 8% above its recent four-week low. France received 300,000 mt on five cargoes, over 40% above its recent average after maintenance ended at key terminals, Vortexa said.Spain imported 300,000 mt on five cargoes, about 70% above its recent average.Greece's Alexandroupolis floating storage and regasification unit also accepted its first cargo since maintenance in March, the firm said.European Union gas storage reached 52%, trailing the five-year average by 15 percentage points. LNG send-out averaged about 3,100 gigawatt-hours per day, the lowest since October 2024, Vortexa said.QatarEnergy's Al Rekayyat Q-Flex carrier came under attack by a projectile on July 6 while leaving the Strait of Hormuz. Confirmed LNG transits have declined since then, although several vessels have continued crossing, Vortexa said.Several QatarEnergy carriers resumed Automatic Identification System transmissions after operating without signals. Al Gattara, Al Samriya and Al Dafna reappeared near Ras Laffan, while Onaiza resurfaced off India and is bound for Incheon, South Korea, the firm said.Ras Laffan loaded six cargoes, or 400,000 mt, last week, while about 15 ballast LNG carriers remained in Qatari waters. Alhamra was the only vessel to load in the UAE.Mexico's 3.25 million mt per annum Energia Costa Azul terminal exported its first LNG cargo on July 7 aboard the Pacific Success. BW Tulip is expected to load next, while TotalEnergies will be the terminal's only LNG buyer during the ramp-up, according to Vortexa.TotalEnergies' 1.7 million mt per annum supply agreement and Mitsui's 800,000 mtpa contract will begin later this summer, Vortexa added.Angola's 5.2 million mtpa LNG terminal entered a planned 32-day maintenance outage on July 8 after averaging 400,000 mt of monthly loadings during the first half, the firm said.US LNG exports totaled 2.3 million mt across 32 cargoes last week, while Australia shipped 1.6 million mt on 23 cargoes, broadly matching recent averages, Vortexa said.Russia delivered its fourth sanctioned Portovaya LNG cargo to China's Beihai terminal on July 12 to July 13. Arctic LNG 2 also resumed seasonal shipments, while Sakhalin 2 remained offline for scheduled maintenance.Price: $40.95, Change: $+1.75, Percent Change: +4.46%

TotalEnergies Divests Distributed Solar Assets in Europe

Oil supermajor TotalEnergies (TTE) has completed the divestment of its distributed solar assets in Europe, totaling 170 megawatts in capacity, as it refocuses its renewables business on utility-scale solar and wind farms, it said on Thursday."Distributed generation involves the development of projects generally below 3 MW, for which TotalEnergies' business model is less suited than for large utility-scale power plants that offer economies of scale," the company said.Amarenco and AMPYR Distributed Energy will continue to operate the divested solar assets, which are mainly rooftop installations, in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, the UK, and Luxembourg, according to the statement.TotalEnergies said the divestment will not impact its pace of renewables capacity deployment. It has installed 8 gigawatts of gross renewable capacity in the last 12 months and aims to maintain that pace through 2030.This is expected to support its target of reaching 75 GW gross capacity by 2030, more than double the March level of 35 GW.
