Australia: Total and partners launch the development of the GLNG project
Paris, January 13, 2011 — Total and its partners Santos (operator), Petronas and Kogas announce the sanction of the GLNG project in Australia, representing a 16 billion dollars investment. The GLNG project consists of the development of coal seam gas fields, the construction of a 420 kilometres gas transmission pipeline and of a liquefaction plant of 7.2 million tons per year (Mt/y). First Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) will be delivered in 2015 and plateau production of the LNG plant is expected to be reached in 2016 for more than 20 years.
The signature of binding LNG off-take contracts with Petronas and in December 2010 with Kogas, secures an annual off-take of 7 million tons of LNG.
“Total is delighted to work alongside Santos in this project, an operator that has demonstrated its expertise in producing coal seam gas since 2002, and to bring its know-how in managing large LNG projects. The involvement of Petronas and Kogas, main buyers of the produced LNG, also strengthens the project” declared Yves-Louis Darricarrère, President of Exploration & Production, Total. “Total considers this integrated LNG project as a good application of its strategy to remain a leading LNG player and to strengthen its portfolio of unconventional gas. Through this project, Total increases its presence in Australia and its access to the Asian LNG market, the fastest growing market offering high value prices linked to oil.”
The GLNG project
The integrated LNG project consists of extracting coal seam gas from the Fairview, Arcadia, Roma and Scotia fields, located in the Bowen and Surat Basin in Queensland, eastern Australia. The fields’ resources are estimated at over 250 billion cubic metres (Gm3) (9 trillion cubic feet) of gas. The Fairview field already produces 3.1 million cubic metres (Mm3) (110 million cubic feet) a day for the local market. The partners of the GLNG project will develop their share of these fields to reach a production plateau of 9 Gm3 per year, ie 900 million cubic feet per day (41,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in Total’s share).
Last September, Total acquired a 20% interest, increased to 27.5% in December when Kogas joined the project. Partners on the project are now Santos operator with 30%; Petronas, 27.5%; Total, 27.5%; and Kogas, 15%.
Total’s commitment to Queensland
GLNG construction activity will commence immediately with 1,500 jobs to be created in the first half of 2011. GLNG will create 5,000 jobs during construction phase and 1,000 permanent jobs during production phase.

In Australia, as in all countries where Total is present, safety and environmental protection are core concerns for the Group. Ensuring the safety of the people working on its projects is a priority for Total, which also strives to reduce its environmental footprint as part of its commitment to sustainable development. The GLNG project partners are well aware that water management will be a main area of focus. As such, a strategy for water management has been planned, such as an extensive monitoring and a group of dedicated experts who will work closely with the Australian authorities and local farmers.
Total fully supports Santos as operator of the licenses in the Bowen and Surat Basin in its efforts to help the affected populations in light of the recent climatic events that have impacted Queensland.
Total Exploration and Production in Australia
Total E&P has been present in Australia since 2005 and has interests in ten offshore licenses — four of which it operates — in the Browse, Vulcan and Bonaparte Basins in the northwest shelf.
In the Browse Basin, Total has a 24% interest alongside Inpex in the Ichthys LNG project. Preparations are advancing for the development. Front-end engineering and design (FEED) began in 2009 and the first tenders have been launched in 2010. The project will produce 8.4 Mt/y of LNG, around 1.6 Mt/y of liquefied petroleum gas, and around 100,000 barrels of condensate per day. The final investment decision is expected to be taken by the end of 2011, and the field should be brought on stream by the end of 2016.
Total and LNG
Total is a leading producer in the LNG sector, with strong and diversified positions along the LNG chain. Total is active in most of the major LNG producing regions as well as main LNG markets and continues to develop LNG as a key component of its development strategy.
The Group produces LNG in Indonesia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Nigeria, Norway and Yemen. The start up of Yemen LNG and Qatargas 2 Train 5 has increased Total’s LNG production by around 40% in 2010. Angola LNG, which is currently under construction, will complement this portfolio in 2012.
The Group also secured long-term access to LNG re-gasification capacity located in key LNG markets: North America (Sabine Pass in the United States and Altamira in Mexico), Europe (Fos Cavaou in France and South Hook Terminal in the United Kingdom) and Asia (Hazira in India).

Total acquires interests in several licenses in Argentina
to appraise their shale gas potential
Paris, January 14, 2011 — Total announces that it has acquired interests in four exploration licenses in Argentina in partnership with YPF in order to appraise their shale gas potential. Located in the Neuquén Basin, the licenses were awarded by the provincial authorities for a six-year period. The four new blocks are the latest addition to the Group’s portfolio of assets in Argentina, which includes significant holdings in shale gas play.
More specifically, Total has acquired:
-   A 42.5% interest in both the Aguada de Castro and Pampa las Yeguas II licenses, which Total will operate.
-   A 40% interest in the Cerro Las Minas license and a 45% interest in the Cerro Partido license which will be operated by YPF.
Commenting on the transactions, Yves-Louis Darricarrère, President of Total Exploration & Production, said: “These new interests in acreage that is potentially rich in shale gas further strengthen Total’s presence in unconventional gas, a domain in which Total has the ambition to grow significantly.”
The latest transactions follow on from the acquisition of 85% stakes in the La Escalonada and Rincón La Ceniza blocks in the same shale gas play in early 2010. As operator, Total is currently conducting geological, seismic and petrophysical studies in these blocks.
In 2010, the Group carried out similar studies on two other long-held blocks that it operates: Aguada Pichana (27.3%) and San Roque (24.7%).
Total is planning to drill exploration wells in 2011 to evaluate the play’s potential.
The entire shale gas zone held by Total represents a combined area of 1,548 square kilometres (approximately 380,000 acres) in Total’s net share.
Total Exploration & Production in Argentina
Present in Argentina since 1978, Total, through its subsidiary Total Austral, operates 28% of the country’s gas production. The Group’s equity share of production averaged 82,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2010.
Its main assets in the Neuquén Basin are Aguada Pichana and San Roque, which account for around 56% of the Group’s operated production in Argentina. Its other main production hub is Tierra del Fuego, where Total operates the onshore Ara and Cañadon Alfa fields and the offshore Hidra, Kaus, Argo, Carina and Aries fields, which together account for 44% of Total’s operated production.

New Discoveries in the Moho-Bilondo License in the Republic of the Congo
Paris, January 25, 2011 — Total announces discoveries from the Bilondo Marine 2 and 3 wells (BILDM-2 and BILDM-3), drilled in a water depth of 800 metres in the central area of the Moho-Bilondo license, approximately 70 kilometres offshore the Republic of the Congo. They follow the successful exploration wells Moho Nord Marine 1 and 2 drilled in 2007.
Bilondo Marine 2 and 3 were drilled to a total depth of around 1,800 metres in the Tertiary series and flowed successfully. The Bilondo Marine 2 and 3 wells encountered a gross reservoir of 77 and 44 metres respectively. Neither well encountered water.
The latest discoveries confirm Total’s confidence that an additional development hub is emerging as a direct extension of phase 1 which is already producing in the southern part of the Moho-Bilondo license. This first phase, brought on stream in 2008, was the first ultra-deepwater field to be developed in the Republic of the Congo. The field is currently producing 90,000 barrels per day from 13 subsea wells tied into a floating production unit (FPU). The oil is exported to the onshore Djeno terminal.
Total E&P Congo is the operator with a 53.5% interest in the license, alongside Chevron Overseas Congo Ltd. (31.5%) and Société Nationale des Pétroles du Congo (15%).
Total Exploration & Production in the Republic of the Congo
Present in the Republic of the Congo since 1968, Total is the country’s leading oil producer. Total E&P Congo operates nine of the 21 fields developed, accounting for nearly 60% of national output. The Group’s net equity production averaged 106,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2009.
Total Exploration & Production’s main assets in the Republic of Congo are:
    The Moho Bilondo license (Total 53.5%, operator).
 
    Nkossa (Total 53.5%, operator) in which work began in 2005 has maintained the field’s production level at 50,000 barrels per day.
 
    The Libondo project (Total 65%, operator), a satellite of Yanga, where development has been under way since October 2008, and which field will be brought on stream in January 2011. The Pointe-Noire construction yard was awarded some of the contracts to build the offshore installations, leading to the creation of around 1,000 direct and indirect local jobs.
 
    The Mer Très Profonde Sud (MTPS) license (Total 40%, operator), in which Total is continuing to explore.
 
    The Joint Development Zone between Congo and Angola (Total 37%) — on which the partners have decided to begin front end engineering and design for the Lianzi project.

“Beyond the more favorable environment than the one in 2009, the increase in the 2010 results reflects the improvement in the Group’s performance, with notably production growth of more than 4% compared to 2009 and a strong rebound in Chemicals.
The year 2010 also marks a new dynamic in the implementation of our strategy, with a bolder exploration program and profound changes to the portfolio in each business segment. Throughout our operations, wherever we are present, the Group reaffirms the priority of safety, reliability and acceptability as essential to sustainability and growth.
Confident in a favorable environment and in the ability of our people to develop value creating projects, the Group announces a 2011 investment budget of 20 billion dollars, or about 16 billion euros, and commits to maintain its policy for shareholder returns while keeping a strong balance sheet.”
The Board of Directors of Total, led by Chairman and CEO Christophe de Margerie, met on February 10, 2011, and decided to propose at its Annual Shareholders Meeting on May 13, 2011, a dividend of 2.28 €/share, stable as compared to the previous year.

For the full year 2010, refinery throughput decreased by 7% compared to 2009, reflecting essentially the shutdown of the Dunkirk refinery and a distillation unit at the Normandy refinery as well as impacts from strikes in France.

The European refinery margin indicator (ERMI) averaged 32.3 $/t in the fourth quarter 2010, representing a nearly three-fold increase compared to the fourth quarter 2009. For the full year 2010, the ERMI was 27.4$/t, an increase of 54% compared to 2009.
Adjusted net operating income from the Downstream segment was 266 M€ in the fourth quarter 2010, compared to 51 M€ in the fourth quarter 2009.

Expressed in dollars, adjusted net operating income from the Downstream segment was 361 M$. This result represents close to a 5-fold increase over the fourth quarter 2009, and is mainly due to the rebound in fourth quarter 2010 refining margins versus the very low levels of margins in the fourth quarter 2009. However, the Group did not fully benefit from the improved environment due to significantly lower throughput as compared to the fourth quarter 2009 in the French refineries and the Lindsey refinery in the UK. The impact of the strikes on adjusted net operating income was determined to be close to 100 M$.
For the full year 2010, adjusted net operating income for the Downstream segment 1,168 M€ compared to 953 M€ in 2009.
Expressed in dollars, the adjusted net operating income for the Downstream segment was 1.5 B$, an increase of 16% compared to 2009. The increase is essentially due to the positive impact of the refining margin improvement, which was partially offset by lower throughput and reliability of the Group’s refineries in 2010 and less favorable conditions for supply optimization.
The persistence of an unfavorable economic environment for refining, affecting Europe in particular, led the Group to recognize an impairment in the Downstream, essentially on French and UK refining assets, in the fourth quarter 2010 in the amount of 1,192 M€ in operating income and 913 M€ in net operating income. These elements have been treated as adjustment items.
The ROACE27 for the Downstream segment was 8% in 2010 compared to 7% in 2009.

The environment for the Base chemicals was weaker in the fourth quarter 2010 than in the third quarter 2010, affected by a decrease in petrochemical margins, particularly in Europe; however, globally the environment remained more favorable than in the fourth quarter 2009.
For the full year 2010, Chemicals benefited from a strong rebound in demand and Base chemical margins as well as an increase in demand in the Specialties chemicals markets.
Sales, excluding intra-Group sales, for the Chemicals segment were 4,218 M€ in the fourth quarter 2010.
The adjusted net operating income for the Chemicals segment was 170 M€ in the fourth quarter 2010, representing more than a two-fold increase over the fourth quarter 2009.
For the full year 2010, Chemicals segment sales, excluding intra-Group sales, were 17,490 M€, an increase of 19% compared to 2009.
The adjusted net operating income was 857 M€ compared to 272 M€ in 2009.
The adjusted net operating income for the Base chemicals increased by 377 M€, due to an improved environment and the ramp up of new production units in Qatar. In 2010, Specialties benefited from strong operational performance and good positioning in growth markets.
The ROACE28 of the Chemicals segment was 12% in 2010 compared to 4% in 2009.

  Total S.A., parent company accounts and proposed dividend
Net income for Total S.A., the parent company, was 5,840 M€ in 2010 compared to 5,634 M€ in 2009. After closing the accounts, the Board of Directors decided to propose at the May 13, 2011, Annual Shareholders Meeting a dividend of 2.28 euros per share for 2010, stable compared to the previous year.
Based on 2010 adjusted net income, the pay-out ratio would be 50%.
Taking into account the interim dividend of 1.14 euros per share paid on November 17, 2010, the remaining 1.14 euros per share would be paid on May 26, 201129.
  Summary and outlook
The ROACE for the full year 2010 was 16% for the Group and 17% for the business segments. In 2009, the ROACE was 13% for the Group and for the business segments.
Return on equity was 19% in 2010 compared to 16% in 2009.
Total plans to continue in 2011 to consolidate the drivers for future growth, while reaffirming the priority to the safety and acceptability of its operations.
The 2011 investment budget is 20 B$, and 80% will be dedicated to the Upstream. In addition, Total intends to continue to pursue targeted acquisitions and divestments of non-core assets.
The Group also confirms its commitment to research and development by raising its 2011 budget to close to 1 B$.
In the Upstream, Total will start production from a new wave of major projects beginning in mid-2011, in particular with the start-up of Pazflor in Angola expected in the fourth quarter. The Group will continue to study numerous projects, notably in Russia, Australia, Canada and China; the expectation is to launch these projects over the next two years, which will contribute to increasing the visibility on medium-term growth. With an exploration budget raised to 2.1 B$ for 2011, the Group is implementing a bolder and more diversified approach that targets larger discoveries.
In the Downstream and Chemicals segments, Total will continue to pursue measures to improve its competitiveness by adapting its European portfolio, by starting up new units at the Port Arthur refinery in the United States and by increasing its presence in growth markets.
Since the beginning of the first quarter 2011, the price of Brent has traded between 90 and 100 $/b, a significant increase over the fourth quarter 2010 average. The European refining environment remains difficult with weaker margins compared to the fourth quarter 2010.
¨ ¨ ¨
 
29   the ex-dividend date for the remainder of the 2010 dividend would be May 23, 2011 ; for the ADR (NYSE :TOT) the ex-dividend date would be May 18, 2011.

This document may contain forward-looking statements, including within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, notably with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business, strategy and plans of TOTAL.
Such statements are based on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate, and are subject to a number of risk factors, including currency fluctuations, the price of petroleum products, the ability to realize cost reductions and operating efficiencies without unduly disrupting business operations, environmental regulatory considerations and general economic and business conditions. Neither TOTAL nor any of its subsidiaries assumes any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information on factors which could affect the company’s financial results is provided in documents filed by the Group with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Business segment information is presented in accordance with the Group internal reporting system used by the chief operating decision maker to measure performance and allocate resources internally. Due to their particular nature or significance, certain transactions qualified as “special items” are excluded from the business segment figures. In general, special items relate to transactions that are significant, infrequent or unusual. However, in certain instances, certain transactions such as restructuring costs or assets disposals, which are not considered to be representative of normal course of business, may be qualified as special items although they may have occurred within prior years or are likely to recur within following years.
The adjusted results of the Downstream and Chemical segments are also presented according to the replacement cost method. This method is used to assess the segments’ performance and facilitate the comparability of the segments’ performance with those of its competitors.
In the replacement cost method, which approximates the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) method, the variation of inventory values in the statement of income is, depending on the nature of the inventory, determined using either the month-end prices differential between one period and another or the average prices of the period. The inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results according to FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and the replacement cost.
In this framework, performance measures such as adjusted operating income, adjusted net operating income and adjusted net income are defined as incomes using replacement cost, adjusted for special items and, through June 30, 2010, excluding TOTAL’s equity share of adjustments related to Sanofi-Aventis. They are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial performance and the comparison of income between periods.
Dollar amounts presented herein represent euro amounts converted at the average euro-dollar exchange rate for the applicable period and are not the result of financial statements prepared in dollars.

Paris, February 15, 2011 — Total announces the start-up of the Itaú gas and condensate field located on Block XX (Tarija Oeste) 400 kilometres south of the city of Santa Cruz in the Andean Cordilleras foothills. The first phase of the development came on stream on February 2nd and is designed to produce 1.5 million cubic meters of gas per day (10,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d)), which will be processed in the facilities of the neighboring San Alberto field. Itaú gas production will mainly be exported. The Block XX joint venture has also submitted for approval to YPFB a development plan which aims at increasing Itaú’s production from 1.5 to 5 million cubic metres per day by mid-2013 (about 35,000 boe/d).
Total E&P Bolivie discovered the Itaú field in 1999. After having first conducted delineation operations between 2001 and 2003 and then supervised the first development phase of the field, Total E&P Bolivie sold on February 1st a participating interest on Block XX of 4% to YPFB Chaco and of 30% to Petrobras, to which was also transferred the operatorship. After completion of these transactions, Total E&P Bolivie will hold a 41% interest on Block XX.
Total Exploration & Production in Bolivia
Total has been present in Bolivia since 1996 and in addition to its interest in Block XX also holds interests in the permits of San Alberto and San Antonio, whose production is mainly exported to Brazil. The Group’s equity production in Bolivia reached 20,000 boe/d in 2010.
Total discovered the Incahuasi field on the Ipati permit in 2004. The X-1001 well currently being drilled on the adjacent Aquio permit will delineate this discovery. As it is the case for Block XX, these permits are located in the Andean foothills.
Total also holds a 50% participating interest in the Rio Hondo permit.

Paris, February 16, 2011 — Total and IPIC have signed an agreement whereby Total will sell its 48.83% share in the capital of CEPSA. This sale will take place pursuant to a public takeover bid over the entire share capital of CEPSA that IPIC has undertaken to file with the Spanish Securities Commission CNMV. IPIC will offer 28 Euros per share of CEPSA and a dividend of 0.50 Euro per share shall be paid to existing shareholders. Total has undertaken irrevocably to tender its shares into the offer and will receive an amount of approximately 3.7 billion Euros. The transaction is conditioned on obtaining all requisite government approvals.
IPIC, a wholly owned entity of the Government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, is currently a shareholder of CEPSA with a stake of 47.06%.
CEPSA is the second largest Spanish oil company with a refining capacity of 528,000 barrels per day, a network of approximately 1,750 service stations in Spain and Portugal and a hydrocarbons production of approximately 55,000 barrels per day. CEPSA also operates in Petrochemicals, Gas distribution and Power.
In this way, Total pursues the implementation of its goal of reducing its exposure to European Refining.

Russia: Total enters into a strategic partnership
with the independent gas company Novatek
Paris, March 2, 2011 — Christophe de Margerie, Total’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, was invited to meet the Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev this afternoon in Moscow. It gave them the opportunity to review the overall activities of Total in Russia. Christophe de Margerie highlighted the dynamism of relationships of the Group with Russian partners and expressed its optimism concerning Total’s future in Russia.
In the evening, in presence of Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Christophe de Margerie signed with Leonid Mikhelson, Novatek’s Chairman and one of the main shareholders, two Memorandums of Cooperation to develop the cooperation between Total and the Russian company Novatek and its main shareholders.
The cooperation will be developed around two transactions:
-    Total will become the main international partner on the Yamal LNG project holding a 20% share. Novatek will hold a 51% interest in the project.
-    Total will take a 12.08% shareholding in Novatek with the intent of both parties to increase the share to 15% within 12 months and to 19.40% within 36 months.
The Yamal LNG project will develop the South Tambey field located in the arctic area of the Yamal peninsula. The resources of this condensate and gas field are estimated at approximately 44 trillion cubic feet of gas (1,250 billion cubic meters), allowing production of more than 15 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year.
The project was declared of national interest by the Russian authorities, who took in 2010 a number of decisions to facilitate its implementation. With this project, Total (20%) will have access to proved and probable reserves of approximately 800 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) within the licence duration and to a plateau production of about 90,000 boe per day in the next decade.
The Memorandum of Cooperation related to Yamal LNG outlines the main terms and conditions for the partnership on the Project and envisages the parties’ intent to close the deal by July 2011.
Novatek is the largest independent gas producer in Russia and supplies approximately 10% of the domestic market. Its 2010 production reached 37.8 billion cubic meters of gas per year (750,000 boe per day including condensates). Novatek’s portfolio of resources is made of several giant fields that underlie Novatek’s strong potential for growth. Since 2009, Total and Novatek are jointly developing the Termokarstovoye field.
The 12% stake will be acquired by Total from Novatek’s two main shareholders based on stock market quotations. The transaction is expected to be closed by April 2011 and amounts to approximately 4 billion dollars. Total will appoint a representative to the Board of Directors of Novatek. Through this acquisition, the Group will have access to

an equity production of 120,000 boe per day and to proved and probable reserves of about 1 billion boe.
Commenting these agreements, Christophe Margerie highlighted that “Total is delighted with this strategic alliance with Novatek, which will accelerate the Group’s development in Russia. This agreement adds to the close cooperation built with Gazprom since 2007 on the Shotkman project. In becoming the first international investor to participate in the development of the giant gas resources of the Yamal Peninsula, Total pursues its strategy aimed at establishing partnerships in producing countries with national players and confirms its leading position in the liquefied natural gas business.”
Total Exploration & Production in Russia
Total has been present in Russia since 1989. Total is operator of the Kharyaga field located in the Nenets Autonomous Region with a 40% interest. The development plan for phase 3 of the Kharyaga field was approved in December 2007. In 2010, Total’s equity production reached 10,000 boe per day.
In July 2007, Total and Gazprom signed an agreement regarding the first phase of development on the Shtokman giant gas and condensates field located in the Barents Sea. Shtokman Development AG (Total 25%) was established in February 2008 to design, construct, finance and operate the first development phase of the project. The Shtokman first development phase will produce 23.7 billion cubic meters per year. About half (7.5 million tons per year) will be exported in the form of liquefied natural gas.
Total’s Commitment to Russia
In Russia, as in other host countries, Total is committed to promoting local development. In every project in which it participates, Total creates sustainable jobs and trains employees to manage operations safely and efficiently.
Total also supports public health, education and cultural programs. Notably, it financed the construction of a school in Narian-Mar, the administrative center of the Nenets Autonomous District, and participated in the restoration of the St. Petersburg’s famous Marinsky Theater.
