TotalEnergies announced today the signature of a cooperation agreement with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp (NNPC) to carry out methane detection and measurement campaigns using its advanced drone-based technology AUSEA on Oil & Gas facilities in Nigeria. This announcement follows similar agreements signed ahead of COP28 with three other National Oil & Gas Companies, Petrobras in Brazil, SOCAR in Azerbaijan and Sonangol in Angola.
The agreement was reached during a visit by Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies with Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in Abuja.
“TotalEnergies is pleased to announce the end of routine flaring in its operations in Nigeria and the sharing of our in-house AUSEA technology with NNPCL, concretely supporting NNPCL to deliver the commitment taken at COP28 by endorsing the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter. We had a very constructive and pragmatic discussion today with President Tinubu on key actions Nigeria should take to attract increased investment in the country,” said Pouyanné.
Patrick Pouyanné and President Bola Tinubu also discussed ways to improve the investment climate and security of operations, TotalEnergies’ future investment program in the country as well as TotalEnergies efforts to support carbon emissions reduction in Nigeria.
In December 2023 TotalEnergies became the first major operator in Nigeria to completely eliminate routine flaring from all operated assets.
