Total enters Gulf of Mexico blocks
USA
PARIS, January 25, 2018 – Total has struck a deal to acquire Samson Offshore Anchor and its Gulf of Mexico interests, the super-major announced on Wednesday.
The agreement, for an undisclosed amount, includes 12.5% stakes in four blocks that span the Chevron-operated Anchor play and increases Total’s 25% stake in Block Green Canyon 761 with an additional 12.5%.
“The entry in the Anchor discovery further increases Total’s footprint in deepwater Gulf of Mexico. It follows our entry in seven exploration prospects located in the promising Wilcox (Central GoM) and Norphlet (Eastern GoM) plays thanks to an agreement signed with Chevron last September, and in the Jack field where the Group will acquire a 25% interest as part of the Maersk Oil deal,” Arnaud Breuillac, Total’s president for E&P, said in a statement.
