TotalEnergies (TTE) said Tuesday it has agreed to acquire a 40% operated interest in PEL83, which includes the Mopane discovery in Namibia, from Galp Energia.
Galp will acquire a 10% participating interest in PEL56, which includes the Venus discovery, and a 9.4% stake in PEL91 from TotalEnergies.
The company said it will carry 50% of Galp's capital expenditures for the exploration and appraisal of the Mopane discovery and the initial development on PEL83, with the carry to be repaid through 50% of Galp's future cash flows from the project.
TotalEnergies said the companies plan to launch an exploration and appraisal campaign, including three wells over the next two years, with a first well planned next year, to further de-risk resources and advance the development of the Mopane discovery.
The transaction is subject to customary third-party approvals from Namibian authorities and joint venture partners, with completion expected in 2026.
