TotalEnergies Signals Fresh Investment Wave!
“Speaking on behalf of the company at the 2026 Association of Energy Correspondents of Nigeria, NAEC, Annual Energy Conference in Lagos themed ‘Access to Assets: Empowering Players and Driving Growth,’ Mr. Senan Murray, the Manager Communication Projects at TotalEnergies in Nigeria, said engagements between industry and the media are essential for deepening public understanding of Nigeria’s complex energy sector.”
THE DOUBLE FID BOMBSHELL:
“In June 2024 we took FID with NNPC and our partners to develop Ubeta, and only last month we took another FID to develop the IMA gas project,”
BUSINESS CLIMATE NOW CONDUCIVE:
“These are exciting times, the environment is now very amenable to business, and we will see even more in the coming months and years.”
