Total announces deep offshore discovery in the Guyane Maritime license in French Guiana Paris, September 9, 2011 - Total today announced a hydrocarbon discovery in French Guiana’s deep offshore Guyane Maritime license. Total has a 25% equity interest in the Tullow-operated acreage. Located around 150 kilometres northeast of Cayenne, the GM-ES-1 well lies in just over 2,000 metres of water and has so far been drilled to a depth of 5,711 metres below sea level. Measurement while drilling revealed the existence of liquid hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone reservoirs. The discovery follows the acquisition in late 2009 and early 2010 of 3D seismic data over a 2,500-square-kilometre area in the eastern section of the license. The area includes the prospect in which GM-ES-1 is being drilled, as well as several other prospects in similar traps in an abrupt margin play. After intermediate measurements, drilling will resume shortly to reach the planned total depth. The production potential and the scale of resources will then be determined through delineation drilling. Total’s partners in the license are Tullow, operator with a 27.5% interest, Shell (45%) and Northpet (2.5%).

Nanterre   www.total.com Azerbaijan: Total makes a major gas discovery in the Caspian Sea   Paris, September 9, 2011 - Total announces a major gas discovery in the Caspian Sea in the Absheron block offshore Azerbaijan.   The Absheron X-2 well has encountered more than 500 feet of cumulated net gas pays within high quality sands on the northern flank of a major 270 square kilometres structure. Reservoirs are expected to extend over the entire northern part of the structure.   The well’s first results confirm a potential of several trillion cubic feet of gas and associated condensates.   “This discovery could be very significant in terms of resources” said Total’s Senior Vice President Exploration, Marc Blaizot. “It is the result of Total’s bolder exploration strategy aimed at exploring high risk/high reward prospects both in prolific and frontier basins particularly in high pressure, deeply buried reservoirs. Our geoscientists and drillers have all the skills to make other discoveries in similar environments like the United Kingdom, Brunei, Malaysia or Egypt where new permits have been recently awarded to Total.”   The well is currently at a depth of approximately 6,550 metres. Drilling will continue to explore further deeper objectives that look attractive. The well will then be tested to better confirm the reservoir potential.   The Absheron discovery is located in 500 metres of water, 100 kilometres south east of Baku, some 25 kilometres north east of the Shah Deniz gas and condensate field.   Total subsidiary, Total EP Absheron is the operator of the Absheron license with a 40% equity. The partners are SOCAR (40%) and GDF SUEZ (20%).   Total Exploration and Production in Azerbaijan   In Azerbaidjan, Total has been present since 1996. In the country, the Group’s equity production reached 13,000 barrels equivalent of oil per day in 2010 from the Shah Deniz field in which Total holds a 10% share.   Total holds a 10% interest in South Caucasus Pipeline Company, owner of the SCP (South Caucasus Pipeline) gas pipeline that transports the gas produced in Shah Deniz to the Turkish and Georgian markets. Total also holds a 5% interest in BTC Co., owner of the BTC (Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan) oil pipeline, which connects Baku and the Mediterranean Sea.   *******   Total is one of the largest integrated oil and gas companies in the world, with activities in more than 130 countries.

It reflects the Group’s commitment to more effectively serving consumers and expanding the range of services offered to professionals.   “The new concept is unique in fuel marketing in France,” commented Michel Bénézit, President of Total Refining & Marketing. “In addition to attractive prices, Total access service stations will offer the products and services on which Total’s network has built its reputation.”   Total access outlets will be located wherever the potential customer base has been deemed large enough to support low prices. They will be easy to recognize with their new, distinctive, contemporary visual identity. Two prototypes will begin operating in the Ile-de-France region in October 2011.   The Total access program has been presented to representatives of the Total Refining & Marketing employees involved.   Artist’s rendering of a Total access service station.

Paris, September 12, 2011 - Total submitted today the report required by French authorities concerning the work program for the Montélimar exploration license. The report was filed to allow the Group to maintain the right to explore acreage awarded in March 2010 for a period of five years. The work program described in the report does not envisage the use of the hydraulic fracturing technique. Total is currently completing the preliminary study phase, begun in 2010 under the original program. This phase involves analyzing existing subsurface data. No field operations are being conducted. If the results are encouraging, the next phase will consist of drilling to collect core samples. These will be analyzed to provide a better understanding of the area’s hydrocarbon potential. Any oil or gas deposit encountered - conventional as well as unconventional - will be assessed. No production tests will be performed during this phase. If a significant oil or gas deposit were confirmed, a third and final exploration phase would be considered to evaluate the reservoirs’ production capacity. The techniques used for production testing will be selected in line with the properties of the reservoir(s) identified and the techniques available at that time and permitted under the prevailing laws. Whatever its findings, the Montélimar license exploration program will help to improve understanding of the French subsurface potential.

PRESS RELEASE

Paris, September 15, 2011

Total and Sciences Po cement strategic partnership

On September 7, Total and Institut d’Etudes Politiques (Sciences Po), France’s leading social sciences university, signed a three-year corporate philanthropy agreement covering the period 2011 to 2013. The strategic partnership aims to educate and recruit the best students, regardless of nationality or social background.

Sharing the belief that diversity in recruitment offers invaluable benefits, Total and Sciences Po are pursuing two core commitments:

¡ The Conventions Education Prioritaire¹ (CEP) program, which Total has supported since it was introduced, in particular by recruiting Sciences Po students from diverse backgrounds.

¡ Scholarships for international students² demonstrating academic excellence, in particular those enrolled in the Master of Public Affairs program and the new Europe-Africa program at Sciences Po.

As part of the strategic partnership, Total also supports the Center for International Studies and Research (CERI), France’s leading social sciences research center dedicated to international social policy, and actively participates in the Observatoire Mondial des Enjeux et des Risques (OMER), a global observatory that tracks issues and risks in emerging economies.

Today’s agreement tangibly reflects the long-standing close collaboration between Total and Sciences Po. For instance, Total has from the outset supported a number of educational innovations at Sciences Po, such as the CEP program and the Middle East and the Mediterranean program.

¹  Conventions Education Prioritaire (CEP)

Over the last decade, Sciences Po has implemented an active strategy of diversifying its student body by welcoming increasing numbers of students from high schools in France’s priority education zones, located in deprived areas such as the suburbs of major cities, deindustrialized regions and isolated rural areas.

Launched in 2001, the Conventions Education Prioritaire (CEP) program brings together Sciences Po and more than 85 high schools in priority education zones across France, including the country’s overseas departments and territories. Sciences Po has enrolled 860 high school graduates from these zones in the last ten years. The numbers have risen regularly, from 17 in 2001 to around 130 in 2010 and in 2011.

²  International Students at Sciences Po

40% of Sciences Po students are non-French nationals, drawn from 130 countries. At the Masters and Ph.D. levels, Sciences Po continually develops double degrees with the world’s most prestigious universities (including the London School of Economics, Columbia, MGIMO,…) and has 1,200 exchange students. In order to attract the most talented international students, Sciences Po has introduced a system of scholarships for students who demonstrate academic excellence.

Total enters exploration in Kenya by acquiring a 40% stake in five offshore blocks in the Lamu Basin Paris, September 21, 2011 - Total today announces its acquisition, through its Total E&P Kenya B.V. subsidiary, of a 40% interest in five offshore exploration blocks in the Lamu Basin, blocks L5, L7, L11a, L11b and L12. Subject to the approval of the Kenyan authorities, Total will acquire: • a 20% stake from Anadarko Kenya Company, which will continue to be the operator with a 50% interest in the permits ; • a 5% stake from Cove Energy, which will maintain a 10% interest in the permits ; • a 15% stake from Dynamic Global Advisors, which is selling all of its interest to Total. Covering an area of more than 30,500 square kilometres, the exploration blocks are located offshore the Lamu Archipelago in water depths of between 100 and 3,000 metres. A 3,500 square kilometres 3D seismic survey is currently underway. If the results are satisfactory, one or more exploration wells will be drilled once the survey has been completed. “This transaction is part of a bold exploration strategy that consists in acquiring large stakes in high-potential frontier plays,” says Marc Blaizot, Total’s Senior Vice President, Exploration. “Recent discoveries in offshore Mozambique and Tanzania offer a very promising outlook for these Kenyan permits.” Following its recent entry in the exploration and development of reserves in Uganda’s Lake Albert region, and its selection to develop exploration activities in Tanzania, this acquisition is another step in Total’s strategic focus on strengthening its exploration and production presence in East Africa.
