TotalEnergies announces the Ntokon oil and gas discovery on OML102 offshore Nigeria.

Located in shallow waters, 60 km off the southeast coast of Nigeria, the Ntokon-1AX discovery

well encountered 38 meters of net oil pay and 15 meters of net gas pay, while its side-track

Ntokon-1G1 encountered 73 meters of net oil pay, in well-developed and excellent quality

reservoirs. Ntokon-1G1 tested successfully up to a maximum rate of about 5,000 barrels per

day of 40° API oil.

Located 20 km from the Ofon field facilities on OML102, Ntokon is planned to be developed

through a tie-back to these existing facilities.

“The Ntokon discovery opens a promising outlook for a new tie-back development’’,

said Nicolas Terraz, President, Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies. “After the

start-up of production of the Ikike tie-back on OML99 in 2022, this new success in the

area further demonstrates the potential of nearby exploration to create value within our low

cost, low emission strategy”.

OML 102 is operated by TotalEnergies EP Nigeria with a 40% interest, alongside partner

NNPC Ltd with the remaining 60%.
