FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   

Total files arbitration claim against SCH

Paris, October 13, 2003 — The actions initiated by Banco Santander Central Hispano (SCH) in the past weeks have shown persistent disagreements between SCH and Total regarding the effect, if any, of the Spanish law 26/2003 of July 17, 2003 on their contractual relations. Given these circumstances, in order to preserve its rights, Total filed arbitration claims against SCH today with the Netherlands Arbitration Institute in The Hague, in accordance with the arbitration provisions of the agreements between SCH and Total.

As indicated to the CNMV on October 10th, 2003 Total reiterates, as well, its willingness to proceed with the immediate liquidation of the holding company Somaen Dos S.L., in order to clarify the positions of Cepsa’s corporate shareholders and to contribute to the transparency of the market.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   

Nigeria: Significant Extension of Usan Discovery

Paris, Octobre 14, 2003 — Total announces that its Nigerian operating subsidiary, Elf Petroleum Nigeria Ltd. (EPNL), has made a significant extension of the Usan field discovery in deepwater Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 222, offshore southeastern Nigeria.

The Usan-4 appraisal well, located around 110 kilometres offshore and 5 kilometres south of the Usan-1 well in water depths of approximately 750 metres, is the third successful appraisal of the Usan field discovered in 2002.

Two zones were tested in the Usan-4 well and flowed at 4,400 and 6,300 barrels of oil per day under restricted flow conditions. The well has confirmed the presence of commercial quantities of oil, as well as additional potential in previously untested reservoirs.

Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. (NNPC) is concessionaire for OPL 222 under a production sharing contract operated by Elf Petroleum Nigeria Ltd. (20 percent), in partnership with Chevron Petroleum Nigeria Ltd., Esso Exploration and Production Nigeria (Offshore East) Ltd. and Nexen Petroleum Nigeria Ltd.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   

UK North Sea: Start-up of Nuggets N4

Paris, October 14, 2003 — Total, operator with a 100% interest, announces today the start-up of the Nuggets N4 gas field in the Alwyn area of the North Sea 440 kilometers north east of Aberdeen.

This start-up comes less than one year after British authorities sanctioned the project.

Nuggets N4 will initially produce around 1.5 million cubic metres of gas per day that will be sent along with production from Nuggets N1, N2, N3 via Alwyn North to the Scottish Saint Fergus Terminal.

Nuggets N4 highlights the success of the phased development plan for the Nuggets fields and confirms Total’s commitment in the UK North Sea to investing in the exploration and development of fields that permit the maximum utilization of existing infrastructures.
