Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Paris-based Total applied to the French Guiana government to drill an exploration well in offshore waters in 2019. The planned drillsite is approximately 150 km offshore. Total's French Guiana Maritime permit extends over more than 24,000 sq km beyond the Guianese Continental Shelf and mostly in the deepwater region. The company's exploration drilling campaign is limited to four months and is intended to determine the possible presence of hydrocarbons before deciding on further activity.
