Renewable Energies:
Total deepens its involvement in marine power

Paris — August 9, 2006 — Total announces that it has acquired a 10% interest in Scotrenewables Marine Power Ltd., (the sister company of Scotrenewables Wind Power Ltd), based in Scotland’s Orkney Islands, that is developing an electricity generation technology based on tidal turbines.

Scotrenewables Marine Power Ltd is working closely with the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), which has the necessary infrastructure to test marine power devices. It is also supported by researchers from Heriott-Watt University based in Edinburgh and from the University’s Orkney Campus, with which Total has several partnerships.

Aside from the fact that it does not emit greenhouse gases, tidal power has the advantage of being predictable. In the long-term, marine power could make a significant contribution to electricity generation from renewable sources, particularly in the UK and France. The Orkney Islands are located in an area with some of the strongest tidal currents in Europe.

For Total, this new commitment in marine power follows on the acquisition of a stake in a wave energy project in Spain in June 2005. Requests for authorization have been submitted and are being reviewed.

This move confirms Total’s interest in renewable energies. Along with biofuel, Total has been involved in photovoltaic solar energy for more than 20 years. It is pursuing its work in this area through the companies Photovoltech and Tenesol. Furthermore, after inaugurating its first wind farm near Dunkirk in 2003, Total was selected by the French Industry Ministry in 2005 to develop the largest onshore wind farm in France (90 MW), in the Aveyron region. Total is also studying a more than 100 MW offshore wind power project off of Dunkirk.

United States: Total Obtains 20 Deepwater Gulf of Mexico Blocks

Paris, August 24, 2006 — Total announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Total E&P USA Inc., was the high bidder on 20 deepwater exploration blocks in the Western Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 200. Total E&P USA Inc. will operate these blocks with a 100% working interest. Award of these blocks is subject to final approval by the Minerals Management Service.

Total E&P USA Inc. obtained 7 blocks in the Keathley Canyon area and 13 blocks in the Garden Banks area, each deepwater block spans 5,760 acres.

The acquisition of these blocks is in accordance with the company’s strategy in the Gulf of Mexico of focusing exploration efforts on prospects with high long-term potential.

About Total E&P in the United States:

Total has been present in the United States since 1957. In 2005, the Group’s average production was 41,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Half of the 2005 production comes from the four deep-offshore fields in the Gulf of Mexico: Virgo (64%, operator), Aconcagua (50%, operator), Camden Hills (16.7%) and Matterhorn (100%, operator).

In early 2006 Total finalized an agreement to exchange four onshore fields in southern Texas for a 17% stake in the deep-offshore Tahiti field in the Gulf of Mexico. Tahiti is scheduled to come on stream in 2008 with a production capacity of 125 thousand barrels per day of oil and 70 million cubic feet per day of natural gas.

Since the beginning of the year Total has also announced two successful drilling results in the Gulf of Mexico with the Alaminos Canyon Block 856 No. 1 and No. 2 wells.

Total Acquires Stake in Ichthys LNG Project in Australia,
Cementing Its Partnership with INPEX

Paris, August 31, 2006 — Total announces the signature of an agreement with Japanese energy company INPEX to acquire a 24% interest in Block WA 285-P, located in approximately 250 meters of water offshore northwestern Australia. The proposed transaction is subject to the approval of the Australian authorities in the near future.

INPEX currently owns a 100% interest in Block WA 285-P, which contains the Ichthys gas field, discovered in 2000. Six appreciation wells drilled between 2000 and 2004 confirmed the find’s rich gas and condensate potential.

The Ichthys development plan consists of an integrated field/liquefaction facility scheduled to come on stream early in the next decade. The plant is envisaged to be built on an island in the Kimberley region, less than 200 kilometers from the field. INPEX recently filed documents with Australian federal and state governments to obtain environmental approval for the project, with a capacity envisaged above 6 million metric tons of LNG a year associated with 100,000 barrels per day of condensates and LPG, and which could be increased depending on confirmation of additional reserves and market demand.

Since the beginning of 2005, Total has acquired stakes in eight different offshore exploration blocks in Australia’s North West Shelf. This latest transaction will considerably strengthen Total’s presence in this area’s gas industry.

The partnership between INPEX and Total dates back to 1970, when they began developing the Mahakam block in Indonesia, which supplies over 70% of the feed gas for the Bontang plant, one of the world’s largest LNG facilities.

The latest venture with INPEX will support Total’s expansion and diversification in LNG beyond 2010 by creating another major growth center in Asia.

A global LNG operator with equity sales amounting to 7.7 million metric tons in 2005, Total plans to grow LNG production by an average 12% a year to 2010. Since early 2005, Total has also signed agreements to develop or participate in three other major, long-term LNG projects: Yemen LNG, Qatargas 2 and, most recently, Brass LNG in Nigeria.
