GREATRIBUNETVNEWS–TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited is focusing on expanding Nigeria’s energy supply while reducing carbon intensity, says MD Mathieu Bouyer.
Key Issues:

On sustainability, Mr Bouyer disclosed that TotalEnergies eliminated routine gas flaring across all its Nigerian operations since 2023, marking a major milestone in its emissions reduction programme. He said that the company has deployed advanced methane detection technologies, including its own proprietary technology AUSEA, which was developed to monitor emissions in real time and enable rapid intervention. In addition to the deployment of AUSEA, Mr Bouyer added that TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited has also installed 2,500 Permanent Emission Monitoring Systems (PEMPs) across all its production sites in Nigeria.
He also announced plans to commission a five megawatt solar power plant at OML 58 to supply electricity to the Ubeta Gas Project, describing it as one of the world’s first near net zero gas developments.
Bouyer underscored the importance of partnerships with Nigerian companies, describing collaboration with local operators as critical to accelerating project delivery and unlocking value for the broader economy.
He cited long standing joint ventures with AMNI, Conoil, and Sapetro, pointing to flagship projects such as Egina FPSO and Akpo Condensate as evidence of successful cooperation between international and indigenous operators. He also disclosed ongoing work with Conoil to appraise deep offshore resources, alongside planned exploration drilling with Sapetro.
“When we work with local partners, it enables us to move faster and create value, not just for ourselves, but for the country,” Mr Bouyer said.
Beyond the plenary discussions, Bouyer and members of his management team also engaged with students from three schools who visited the TotalEnergies exhibition booth at NIES 2026, reinforcing the company’s focus on knowledge transfer, skills development, and nurturing future energy professionals.
