Discovery in OML102: TotalEnergies identifies valuable oil and gas resources in waters off the southeast coast of Nigeria

Located 20 kilometers from the Ofon field facilities at OML102, Ntokon is planned to be developed through a link to these existing facilities.

“The Ntokon discovery opens up a promising prospect for new link development,” said Nicolas Terraz, President of Exploration and Production at TotalEnergies.

“Following the start of production from the Ikike link at OML99 in 2022, this new success in the area further demonstrates the potential for nearby exploration to create value within our low-cost, low-emission strategy.”

OML 102 is operated by TotalEnergies EP Nigeria with a 40% stake, along with partner NNPC Ltd with the remaining 60%.
