London, September 24, 2024, (Oilandgaspress) ––– TotalEnergies has signed an agreement with Lewis Energy Group to acquire a 45% interest in dry gas producing assets owned and operated by Lewis Energy Group in the Eagle Ford basin in Texas. The acquisition of these low cost and long plateau assets further strengthens TotalEnergies’ integration across the gas value chain in the US, and follows the Texas Dorado acquisition announced in April 2024.
TotalEnergies further expands its natural gas production in the U.S.
Located in Southwest Texas, the acquired assets have the potential to be developed to reach a sustainable gross production of around 400 Mcf/d by 2028.
This is the second acquisition of non-operated shale gas assets in 2024 after the purchase of non-operated interest in the Dorado asset, located in the Eagle Ford basin and which was purchased from Lewis Energy Group earlier this year. Moreover, TotalEnergies operates a technical production of around 500 Mcf/d in the Barnett.
TotalEnergies, the largest exporter of U.S. LNG
With over 10 million tons (Mt) exported in 2023, TotalEnergies is the largest exporter of U.S. LNG, thanks to its 16.6% stake in the Cameron LNG plant in Louisiana and several long-term purchasing agreements. The Company’s U.S. LNG export capacity is expected to reach 15 Mt/y by 2030.
“This acquisition further strengthens our upstream gas position in the United States and contributes to our integrated LNG position with a low cost upstream gas supply”, said Nicolas Terraz, President, Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies. “We are delighted to partner with Lewis Energy Group, a well-renowned and highly efficient gas operator with an historical footprint in South Texas.”
