These operations leverage existing infrastructure to add 60,000 barrels of oil per day through subsea interconnection. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BEGONIA and CLOV Phase 3 projects<\/h2>\n\n<p>Both projects use installed <strong>FPSOs <\/strong><em>(floating production and storage units<\/em>): BEGONIA is linked to the PAZFLOR FPSO and CLOV Phase 3 to the CLOV FPSO. Such a strategy allows minimizing marginal costs and carbon intensities, in line with the French company&#8217;s sustainability commitments, to offer on the market. <\/p>\n\n<p>Located 150 kilometers off the Angolan coast, BEGONIA is the country&#8217;s first inter-block development. It consists of five subsea wells and has a production capacity of 30,000 barrels of crude oil per day. <\/p>\n\n<p>The project is the result of cooperation between <strong>TotalEnergies <\/strong>(30%), <strong>Sonangol E&amp;P<\/strong> (30%), <strong>SSI <\/strong>(27.5%), <strong>ETU Energias<\/strong> (7.5%) and <strong>Falcon Oil<\/strong> (5%), together with the <strong>National Agency of Oil, Gas and Biofuels<\/strong><em>(ANPG<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n<p>At 140 kilometers offshore, CLOV Phase 3 adds another 30,000 barrels per day from four wells connected to the CLOV FPSO. <em>TotalEnergies <\/em>leads with a 38% stake alongside <em>Equinor<\/em>, <strong>ExxonMobil<\/strong>, <strong>Azule Energy<\/strong> and <strong>Sonangol E&amp;<\/strong>P.<\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>BEGONIA and CLOV Phase 3 projects<\/strong> allow Angola to maintain its extraction level above one million barrels per day. In addition to its technical relevance, the BEGONIA project stands out for integrating local content, while CLOV 3 reflects the effective coordination between <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/anpg-begins-conversion-of-the-kaminho-fpso-in-china\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"249355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ANPG<\/a><\/strong> and the consortium led by TotalEnergies. <\/p>\n\n<p>The company continues to strengthen its upstream <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/articulo\/upstream-reliability-optimization\/\" data-type=\"articulo\" data-id=\"109799\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">upstream production in Angola<\/a><\/strong> in Angola with low operating cost developments and a reduced carbon footprint.
