Brunei

In Brunei, where Total has been present since 1986, the Group operates the offshore Maharaja Lela Jamalulalam field located on Block B (37.5%). The Group’s production was 14 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 12 kboe/d in 2009 and 14 kboe/d in 2008. The gas produced at this field is delivered to the Brunei LNG liquefaction plant.

On Block B, a new drilling campaign started in July 2009 that includes a development well, which started production in April 2010, and two exploration wells drilled in 2010 in the southern portion of the field that discovered oil and gas. Development studies for these new reserves are underway.

On deep-offshore exploration Block CA1 (54%, operator), formerly Block J, exploration operations that had been suspended since May 2003 due to a border dispute between Brunei and Malaysia resumed in September 2010. Both countries reached a border agreement in 2009 that led to adapting the production sharin agreement signed in 2003, resulting in two new partners selected by the government of Malaysia farming into the exploration block.
Total’s share decreased to 54% from 60% and Total remains the operator. A drilling campaign involving several wells is expected to start in the second half of 2011.

China

In China, the Group is present on the South Sulige block, located in the Ordos Basin, in the Inner Mongolia province. Appraisal work was conducted on this block between 2006 and 2008, in particular seismic acquisition, the drilling of four new wells and tests on existing wells. The development plan proposed by Total in January 2010, in partnership with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), was then adjusted to take advantage of the synergies achieved with the development of CNPC-operated Great Sulige. It was adopted in November 2010 by both partners and the approval process with the authorities is ongoing.
Both partners agreed that TOTAL’s share in cofinancing the development would be 49% and CNPC’s share would be 51% (operator). The development will be operated by CNPC where a number of specialists from Total will be assigned.

Indonesia

In Indonesia, Total has been present since 1968 with production of 178 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 190 kboe/d in 2009 and 177 kboe/d in 2008.
Total’s operations are primarily concentrated on the Mahakam permit (50%, operator), which covers several fields, including Peciko and Tunu. Total also holds an interest in the Sisi-Nubi field (47.9%, operator). Total delivers most of its natural gas production to the Bontang LNG plant operated by the Indonesian company PT Badak. The overall capacity of the eight liquefaction trains atBontang LNG is 22 Mt/y.

In 2010, gas production operated by Total amounted to 2,488 Mcf/d. The gas operated and delivered by Total to Bontang LNG accounted for 80% of its supply. In addition to gas production, operated condensates and oil production from the Handil and Bekapai fields amounted to 49kb/d and 23 kb/d, respectively.

• On the Mahakam permit:
  
  - Drilling of additional wells on the Tunu field continued in 2009 as part of the twelfth and thirteenth development phases. The 3D seismic campaign on the central/southeastern portion of the field was completed in 2010 and drilling of development wells to discover shallow gas reservoir started in 2010. The eleventh development phase, launched in 2005, was completed in late 2009 with the commissioning of onshore low-pressure compression units.
  - On Peciko, following the start-up of a new platform (Phase 5) in late 2008, a new phase of drilling operations (Phase 7) started in 2009 and continued in 2010. New low-pressure compression capacities (Phase 6) were  commissioned in May 2010.
  - On the East Bekapai, debottlenecking operations to increase gas production were completed in July 2010.
  - Development of the South Mahakam permit continued with the award of the Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract (EPC) in August 2010 to develop the Stupa, West Stupa and East Mandu discoveries. Start-up of production is expected in early 2013.
  
• In 2008, a seismic campaign was conducted on the Southeast Mahakam exploration block (50%, operator), located in the Mahakam Delta. Drilling of the first exploration well (Trekulu 1) was completed in late 2010.
  
• On the Sisi-Nubi field, which began production in 2007, drilling operations continue. The gas from Sisi-Nubi is produced through Tunu’s processing facilities.

In October 2010, the Group closed the acquisition of a 15% interest in the Sebuku license where the Ruby gas discovery is located, the development of which was launched in mid-February 2011 with targeted production of 100 Mcf/d of natural gas and expected start-up in 2013.
In October 2010, the Group signed an agreement with the consortium Nusantara Regas (Pertamina-PGN) for the delivery of 11.75 Mt of LNG over the period 2012-2022 to a re-gasification terminal located near Jakarta.
The Heads of Agreement that TOTAL, Inpex and state-owned Pertamina signed in 2009 with a consortium of LNG buyers in Japan (Western Buyers) came into effect in March 2010. As part of this agreement, the Bontang LNG plant is expected to deliver 25 Mt of LNG to Japan for the period 2011-2020. The gas supplied will come from the Mahakam permit.

Malaysia

In Malaysia, Total signed a production sharing contract in May 2008 with state-owned Petronas for the offshore exploration Blocks PM303 , that Total relinquished in early 2011, PM324 (70%, operator).
A drilling campaign in high pressure/high temperature conditions is expected to be launched in the second half of 2011 on Block PM324.
Total also signed in November 2010 a new production and sharing agreement with Petronas for the deep offshore exploration Block SK 317 B (85%, operator) located off the state of Sarawak.

Myanmar

In Myanmar, Total operates the Yadana field (31.2%). Located on offshore Blocks M5 and M6, this field produces gas that is delivered mainly to PTT (the Thai state-owned company) to be used in Thai power plants.The Yadana field also supplies the domestic market via a land pipeline and, since June 2010, via a sub-sea pipeline built and operated by Myanmar’s state-owned company MOGE.
The Group’s production was 14 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 13 kboe/d in 2009 and 14 kboe/d in 2008.

Thailand

In Thailand, the Group’s production was 41 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 36 kboe/d in 2009 and 41 kboe/d in 2008. The rise in production in 2010 is the result of sustained gas demand, driven by economic growth in the country. The Group’s main asset is the offshore Bongkot gas and condensates field (33.3%). PTT purchases all of the natural gas and condensates production

• On the northern portion of the Bongkot field, the 3F (three wellhead platforms) and 3G (two platforms) development phases came onstream in 2008 and 2009, respectively. New investments allow gas demand to be met and plateau production to be maintained:
  - the three platforms from the 3H development phase were installed in 2010 and production started up in early 2011;
  - phase 3J (two platforms) was launched in late 2010; and
  - additional low-pressure compressors have been installed to increase gas production.
• The southern portion of this field (Great Bongkot South) is also being developed in several phases. This development is designed to include a processing platform, a residential platform and thirteen production platforms. Construction of the facilities,
  which began in 2009, accelerated in 2010 and production is expected to start up in early 2012.

In 2009, three successful exploration wells were drilled on Bongkot that are expected to be developed subsequently to maintain plateau production. In 2010, an exploration well was drilled on Bongkot North and a second well was drilled on Block G12-48 (33.3%), which neighbors the Bongkot field. The positive results from both wells are under interpretation.

Vietnam

In Vietnam, Total holds a 35% interest in the production sharing contract for the offshore 15-1/05 exploration block following an agreement signed in October 2007 with PetroVietnam. A 3D seismic acquisition covering 1,600 km2 was shot in the summer of 2008 on this block. A first oil discovery was made in November 2009 on the southern portion of the Block.Two oil discoveries were made on the southern portion of the block,
one in November 2009 and the other in October 2010. A new drilling campaign that involves five wells started in November 2010

In March 2009, Total and PetroVietnam signed a production sharing contract for Blocks DBSCL-02 and DBSCL-03. Located in the Mekong Delta region, these onshore blocks are held by Total (75%, operator) and PetroVietnam (25%). A first 2D seismic acquisition campaign was shot  between November 2009 and April 2010.
