Deep-offshore Block 17 (40%, operator) is Total’s principal producing asset. It is composed of four major zones: Girassol, Dalia, Pazflor and CLOV (based on the Cravo, Lirio, Orquidea, and Violeta discoveries).

• On the Girassol production zone, production from the Girassol, Jasmim and Rosa fields averaged 264 kb/d (in 100%) in 2007. The Rosa field, which began production in 2007, is expected to allow the extension of Girassol’s FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading facility) production plateau until the beginning of the next decade.
  
  
• On the second production zone, the Dalia field, which began production in December 2006, reached its production plateau of 240 kb/d, with average production of 209 kb/d in 2007. This development, launched in 2003, is based on a system of sub-sea wells connected to a new FPSO.
  
  
• Development of the third production zone, Pazflor, made up of the Perpetua, Zinia, Hortensia, and Acacia fields, was approved late in 2007. The development plan calls for an FPSO with production capacity of 200 kb/d. First production is scheduled for 2011.
  
  
• The successful appraisal of the Orquidea-2 well confirmed the Group’s interest in developing the Cravo, Lirio, Orquidea and Violeta fields through a fourth FPSO (CLOV). Pre-development studies for the development of this production zone continued in 2007 and engineering work was launched early in 2008.
