TotalEnergies, a global energy company, has recently entered into an agreement with Impact Oil and Gas Namibia (Pty) Ltd (“Impact”) to acquire additional participating interests in two blocks in Namibia. The company intends to share these interests with its strategic partner and joint venture member, QatarEnergy.
Upon the completion of the transactions, which are subject to customary third-party approvals, TotalEnergies will hold a 45.25% interest in block 2913B, where the Venus discovery is located, and a 42.5% interest in block 2912. Impact will retain a 9.5% interest in each license.
As part of the agreement, Impact will be reimbursed for its past costs through a $99 million payment upon closing. Furthermore, Impact will be carried for its remaining interests until it receives the first sales proceeds from hydrocarbon production. This arrangement is secured by a repayment mechanism based on Impact’s share of production.
Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at TotalEnergies, expressed his optimism about the transaction, stating that it not only strengthens their position in the Venus discovery but also enhances the partnership and secures financing for all parties involved.
