Gulf of Mexico: TotalEnergies Extracts First Oil from Anchor Field
08/16/2024
TotalEnergies has announced the start of oil production from the Anchor field, located 225 km off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Anchor field began development in December 2019 and is a joint project between TotalEnergies, which holds a 37.14% stake, and Chevron, the operator, which has the remaining 62.86%.
The field features a system of subsea wells connected to a semi-submersible floating production unit (FPU) with a daily capacity of 75,000 barrels of oil and 28 million cubic feet of gas.
At its peak, the Anchor field is expected to produce 30,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) for TotalEnergies.
The Anchor FPU is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, utilizing an all-electric setup with electric motors and electronic controls, waste heat, and vapor recovery technologies.
Nicolas Terraz, President of Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies, highlighted that "the start-up of Anchor marks a significant milestone in TotalEnergies’ strategy in the U.S., combining oil development with low emissions and growth in Integrated LNG and Integrated Power."
Delivered safely, on time, and within budget, this project is expected to contribute to the company’s growth in free cash flow, Terraz added.

Massive Shutdown in U.S. Gulf of Mexico as Tropical Storm Francine Approaches
![$data['article']['post_image_alt']](https://images2.rextag.com/public/blog/310_Blog_Massive Shutdown in U.S. Gulf of Mexico as Tropical Storm Francine Approaches .jpg)
A significant portion of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico's oil and natural gas production has come to a halt as Tropical Storm Francine barrels toward Louisiana, threatening the region's crucial energy infrastructure. In what is shaping up to be one of the most impactful events for U.S. energy this year, approximately 24% of crude oil production and 26% of natural gas output in the Gulf are now offline, according to the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). Francine, with winds reaching 65 mph (100 kph), is currently situated 380 miles (610 km) southwest of Morgan City, Louisiana, and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane by the end of the day. The storm's trajectory is causing widespread disruptions to offshore operations in the Gulf, which plays a vital role in the country’s energy supply.
Streamlining ESG Management in Oil & Gas: Simplify Compliance with the Latest Standards

To effectively manage ESG issues in O&G companies, a comprehensive approach is required, addressing multiple managerial issues. First, ESG considerations must be integrated into the corporate strategy, setting goals that align with business objectives, reflected in budgeting, capital allocation, and risk management. Accurate and efficient collection, management, and reporting of ESG data is necessary for identifying relevant metrics and indicators, such as greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and social impact indicators.

What happens when two giants merge to form an oil empire? Diamondback Energy has just completed a massive $26 billion merger with Endeavor Energy Resources, following months of review by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The outcome? A powerful new player in the oil industry, poised to transform production in the Permian Basin, one of the richest shale regions in the world. Analysts are calling this merger a game-changer, as Diamondback and Endeavor now control a vast expanse of oil-rich land, referred to as the "last and best oil sandbox" for its potential to maximize production using advanced technology.

The United States government has announced a significant investment of $7.3 billion from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to support clean energy initiatives led by rural electric cooperatives. These projects aim to reduce energy costs, enhance reliability, and promote sustainability for rural communities, where energy costs tend to be higher than in urban areas. This investment marks a substantial effort toward decarbonizing rural America while supporting job creation and infrastructure improvements.
