TotalEnergies SE: United States: First Oil From the Anchor Field in Gulf of Mexico
TotalEnergies announces the start of production from the Anchor field in the US Gulf of Mexico, holding a 37.14% interest alongside operator Chevron (62.86%). Located 225 km off Louisiana, Anchor consists of subsea wells connected to a semi-submersible floating production unit (FPU) with a capacity of 75,000 barrels of oil and 28 million cubic feet of gas per day. At peak, Anchor will contribute 30,000 boe/d net to TotalEnergies. The FPU is designed to minimize greenhouse gas emissions through an all-electric configuration and waste heat recovery technologies.
This project marks a milestone in TotalEnergies' integrated energy model in the US, combining high-leverage oil projects with low emissions intensity and growth in Integrated LNG and Power. TotalEnergies is the leading exporter of US LNG, with plans to increase capacity to 15 Mt/y after the Rio Grande LNG plant start-up.
