Sincor Heavy Oil Operating Company in Venezuela to Become Mixed Company
Paris – June 26, 2007 - Total announced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Venezuela’s ministry in charge of energy and petroleum to transform operating company Sincor, formed by the project partners, into a mixed company. The agreement is in line with the law of February 26, 2007, passed by presidential decree, on transforming strategic joint ventures in the Faja region, known as the Orinoco Belt, into mixed companies. Under the memorandum of understanding, Total’s interest in Sincor will be reduced to 30.323% from 47%, while PDVSA’s will increase to 60%. Statoil’s interest will be 9.677 %.
The agreement also sets out the indemnification that will be paid to Total, which was determined after a negotiation based on the value of the assets.
The Venezuelan National Assembly has until the end of August to approve the terms and conditions of the transformation.
Total in Venezuela
Brought on stream in 2000, the Sincor project comprises the upstream development of the Zuata extra-heavy oil field in the Orinoco Belt and the downstream upgrading of the oil in a dedicated facility. Sincor’s production capacity is around 200,000 barrels per day of extra-heavy oil, corresponding to 180,000 barrels per day of synthetic crude.
Total also has interests in the Yucal Placer project (69.5%) and the offshore Plataforma Deltana Block 4 (49%). The Group’s equity production in Venezuela averaged 96,000 barrels per day in 2006.

A Technological Milestone
Rosa Starts Production Offshore Angola
Paris, June 29, 2007 - Sonangol, the Angolan state oil company, as concessionaire, and Total, as operator, are pleased to announce that the Angola’s deepwater Rosa field in Block 17 started production on June 18. Discovered in January 1998 at some 135 kilometres off the coast of Angola in water depths of 1,350 metres, the Rosa field is located some 15 kilometres away from the Girassol Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel to which it has been tied back. It is the first deepwater field of this size to be tied back to such remote installation and in such water depths. Rosa, with proven and probable reserves amounting 370 million barrels in 100%, will maintain the FPSO’s production plateau at 250,000 barrels per day until early in the next decade.
The Rosa field will comprise 25 wells, including 11 for water injection and 14 producers, which will be tied into four manifolds. The subsea installation consists of 64 kilometres of insulated production flowlines (Pipe in Pipe) and of 40 kilometres of water injection lines linking the Rosa to the Girassol FPSO. An innovative riser tower docked nearby the FPSO takes the fluid over 1,200 metres from the sea floor up to the surface.
In order to receive the Rosa production, 5,600 tonnes of structure and equipment were installed on the FPSO. The works have permanently mobilised about 400 persons on the vessel, over a period of nearly two years. During the whole period, the treatment of the Girassol oil continued and only some scheduled production shutdowns were required.
With Rosa on stream, all of the produced water from the Girassol, Jasmim and Rosa fields will be reinjected in the reservoirs, thus resulting in produced water not being discharged to the sea. In addition, Total is reducing greenhouse gas emissions by using an innovative process that inerts and recovers gaseous effluent from the FPSO tanks.
The extent of the works and the delicate conditions in which they had to be carried out due to the important safety constraints imposed by continuing the operation of Girassol facilities have made the Rosa development a first in the world on such FPSO.
Sonangol is the Block 17 concessionaire. Total E&P Angola, operator, has a 40% interest in Block 17, alongside partners Esso Exploration Angola (Block 17)

Total in Angola
Total is present in Angola since 1953 and held interests in production permits both operated (Blocks 3 and 17) and non operated (Blocks 0, and 14).Total also holds stakes in exploration permits, Blocks 15/06, 17/06 (operated), Blocks 31 and 32 (operated).
Deep-offshore Block 17 is Total’s major asset in Angola. It is composed of four major zones : Girassol and Dalia, both in production; Pazflor, which is in the bidding process before sanction; and CLOV, a fourth major production area based on the Cravo, Lirio, Violeta and Orquidea discoveries, whose development is currently being studied. Future production from these fields will come in addition to 500,000 barrels of oil per day that are currently pumped from Girassol and Dalia structures on the Block 17. Connected to the Girassol FPSO, Rosa will extend the production plateau of this FPSO until the next decade.
Situated in deep offshore, the major potential of Block 32 was confirmed by the ten discoveries achieved between 2003 and 2007.
Conceptual development studies gathering the Gindungo, Canela and Gengibre discoveries were initiated in 2005 in order to exploit these discoveries in a production zone, in the central eastern part of the block. Studies will be initiated to evaluate the development potential of the other discoveries.

102 Students From 80 Universities Around the World
Are Attending The 2007 Total Summer School Near Paris
Paris, July 3, 2007 - 102 students from 24 nations arrived at the Total Summer School near Paris on Sunday, July 1 to enjoy a multicultural experience and deepen their knowledge of the world’s major energy issues. Invited by Université Total, the students will share a week of study, exchange and discussion with university experts and senior managers from Total.
The programme is designed to help Total’s international subsidiaries strengthen their ties and exchanges with the academic world. Ranging in age from 20 to 29, the 102 students represent 80 schools and universities around the world that have been identified as important training grounds in the Group’s host countries and growth markets. Total Summer School also contributes to Total’s objective of giving its teams and management a more international profile.
Some 30 energy specialists, geopolitical experts and managers from Total will moderate discussions, present key energy issues and challenges and share their knowledge of economics, geopolitics, the future of energy, climate change, and corporate social responsibility with the students.
The first session of Total Summer School, held last year, yielded very enriching discussions for both the students and moderators, noted Jean-Jacques Guilbaud, Senior Vice President Human Resources & Corporate Communications: “Creating opportunities to converse with students about issues as the future of energy is extremely important. For a group as Total, It’s a truly unique opportunity to do this once a year with a global panel of students like this.”
Total Summer School is a programme of Université Total (www.universite.total.com). Total opened its corporate university in 2005 to foster thinking and discussion about issues that influence the future of its businesses and to strengthen the Group’s ties with universities.

Total to Build Two New Units at the Lindsey Oil Refinery
in the United Kingdom
Paris, July 4, 2007 - Total announced today that it has begun construction of two new units at the Lindsey Oil Refinery, near Immingham, in the United Kingdom:
    a hydrodesulphurization (HDS) unit with a capacity of 1 million metric tonnes per year;
 
    a hydrogen production unit (SMR — Steam Methane Reformer) necessary for the desulphurization process.
Representing an investment of around 300 million, the project will at peak employ 600 people at the refinery. Commissioning is scheduled for 2009.
The units will increase Total’s production of ultra low sulphur diesel, for which demand is growing steadily, and will substantially increase the refinery’s capacity to process less expensive sour crudes.
Following on from the commissioning of the distillate hydrocracker at the Le Havre refinery in France in 2006, this latest project further confirms Total’s assertive strategy of upgrading its refining base.
With a capacity of 10 million metric tonnes, the Lindsey Oil Refinery is Total’s main refinery in the United Kingdom, where the Group is also a leading oil and gas producer. With a network of 900 service stations, its subsidiary Total UK is also a front-ranking petroleum product marketer.

Republic of Gabon: Total Gabon’s Convention of Establishment Renewed
Paris, July 6, 2007 - Total announces that Total Gabon and the Republic of Gabon have signed an agreement to renew for 25 years the convention of establishment, which expired on June 30, 2007.
The convention of establishment defines, among other things, the legal and tax system governing Total Gabon’s concessions, operating licenses and crude transportation installations. It covers 17 concessions and operating licenses representing an area of nearly 1,500 square kilometres and more than 60% of Total’s share of output in Gabon (more than 50,000 barrels per day in 2006).
The system was thoroughly updated to promote exploration and development of oil and gas resources and to support oil and gas production in Gabon. Total is therefore considering additional development of the Anguille field, wholly owned by Total Gabon, which came on stream in 1966. A final investment decision could be made at the end of 2007. This project would add more than 100 million barrels of proved and probable reserves and 30,000 barrels of oil per day in first half of next decade.
The renewal of the convention of establishment between Total and the Republic of Gabon demonstrates their renewed trust in developing the country’s natural resources.
Total Gabon
Total Gabon is Gabon’s top-ranked oil operator, with total operated crude oil production of around 36% of the country’s output. Total’s equity production averaged 87,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2006.
Present in Gabon since 1931, Total Gabon has helped to discover more than 80% of the country’s oil and gas reserves and has developed more than 50 onshore and offshore fields over the past 50 years. Since 2000, Total Gabon launched a wide-ranging program to appraise and redevelop existing fields to enhance recovery and slow down the natural decline in output. Under the program, capital expenditure is expected to double in 2007 from $130 million in 2006 and will be sustained in subsequent years.
Total Gabon is a Gabonese company whose shares are listed on Eurolist by Euronext Paris. Total holds 58%, the Republic of Gabon 25% and the public float is 17%.

The Dolphin Gas Project Starts Production
Paris, July 10, 2007 - Total announces that the Dolphin Gas Project is now producing natural gas from Qatar and is exporting it to the United Arab Emirates.
The partners in the Project, Total, 24.5%, Mubadala Development Company, on behalf of the Government of Abu Dhabi, 51%, and Occidental Petroleum, 24.5%, are grouped together in the company Dolphin Energy Limited.
Dolphin is the largest natural gas project ever developed between two countries in the Gulf.
It involves the development of natural gas reserves from Qatar’s giant offshore North Field, via two unmanned production platforms. The gas is treated onshore at the plant built by Dolphin Energy in Ras Laffan in Qatar. Gas production for export will ramp up to 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day in early 2008.
The long term customers for Dolphin gas are ADWEC (Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Company), UWEC (Union Water & Electricity Company) in Fujairah, DUSUP (Dubai Supply Authority) and OOC (Oman Oil Company).
Dolphin Energy Limited, which benefits from the technical know-how and experience of Total, is the owner and operator of all phases of the Project. Dolphin is responsible for development, start-up and production of the field. The company is also operating the export pipeline linking Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, operational since March 2007, as well as handling gas distribution in the United Arab Emirates.
“Total is a founding shareholder of Dolphin Energy and is very pleased that this important project came on stream as expected. Dolphin is the result of the collective vision of the United Arab Emirates and the State of Qatar and creates a regional gas grid within the Gulf for the very first time”, declares Yves-Louis Darricarrère, president Exploration and Production of Total. “This project will support economic growth throughout the region, creating wealth and durable employment opportunities.”
