Pamphlet: TotalEnergies on the West Coast of South Africa (Deep Water Orange Basin)

TotalEnergies (TEEPSA) holds an exploration right to explore for oil and gas off the West Coast of South Africa.

TotalEnergies EP South Africa B.V. (TEEPSA) is the South African subsidiary of TotalEnergies. They hold this right together with two other companies, QatarEnergy and Sezigyn (Pty) Ltd.

TEEPSA proposes to drill one (1) exploration well and, if they find oil or gas, add up to nine (9) additional wells in total.

The “area of interest” is the Deep Water Orange Basin. It is located offshore between Port Nolloth and Hondeklip Bay, approximately 188 km from the coast at its closest point and 340 km at its furthest, in water depths between 750m and 3000m.

This community pamphlet was developed in June 2023 to provide communities with an understanding of the project.
