Held under the patronage of President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali and with the endorsement of the Honorable Minister of Natural Resources, Vickram Bharrat, the launch will underscore Guyana’s central role in driving regional energy development and advancing the Caribbean’s position as an emerging global energy hub. The event will also be supported by the Guyana Office for Investment, reflecting the country’s continued focus on attracting international capital and strengthening its investment pipeline.

The launch event will provide an early platform to outline the priorities for Caribbean Energy Week 2027, including upstream expansion, LNG development, infrastructure build-out and regional energy integration. It will also highlight the growing importance of cross-border collaboration as Caribbean states work to unlock shared resources and improve coordination across oil and gas value chains.

Guyana continues to anchor regional growth, with offshore production from the ExxonMobil-operated Stabroek Block averaging close to one million barrels per day in 2026 and expected to increase further as new developments come online. The continued expansion of upstream capacity, alongside ongoing exploration activity and FPSO deployments, has reinforced the country’s position as the region’s leading oil producer and a key driver of investment momentum.

Across the wider Caribbean, Suriname is advancing its offshore development agenda, led by TotalEnergies’ GranMorgu project and a growing pipeline of exploration activity. In Trinidad and Tobago, efforts are focused on revitalizing mature gas production while expanding LNG and petrochemical capacity, with renewed attention on upstream partnerships and regional gas monetization opportunities.

Building on this foundation, Caribbean Energy Week 2027 is expected to further expand its reach and impact, offering a dedicated platform for project announcements, investment facilitation and strategic partnerships. As global demand for secure and diversified energy supply continues to grow, the Caribbean is increasingly positioned as a key emerging hub defined by scale, collaboration and long-term opportunity.

The MSGBC basin is adopting the standardized engineering, phased development and integrated contracting that operators worldwide use to keep high-cost offshore projects financeable. With Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) and Sangomar now in production, the basin’s next wave of projects hinge on their ability to apply those models quickly and competitively.

These questions anchor the technical presentation “Deepwater Engineering & Offshore Project Delivery in the MSGBC Basin” at this year’s MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2026 conference and exhibition. The session aims to examine how subsea production systems, the deployment of FPSO and FLNG units, offshore drilling, marine logistics and contracting models combine to turn a discovery into bankable production.

In offshore infrastructure, concept selection follows the resource. The economics of each vessel choice are visible in the basin’s two producing assets. Sangomar relies on a standalone FPSO, a converted very large crude carrier supplied by MODEC and moored roughly 100 km offshore, with a first-phase cost of around $5 billion.

GTA processes gas on an FPSO before piping it to the Gimi FLNG vessel operated by Golar LNG under a 20-year contract, with a nameplate capacity of approximately 2.7 million tons per year. Oil developments reward the storage and offloading flexibility of an FPSO, while large-scale gas justifies the cost of dedicated liquefaction close to shore.

The subsea systems linking wells to their host facilities represent a significant portion of a deepwater project’s engineering risk and cost. Sangomar ties its wells to the FPSO through 101 km of rigid flowlines, with a 24-well drilling program completed by deepwater drillships during ramp-up, while GTA connects its ultra-deepwater wells across roughly 100 km to processing infrastructure. Phasing is the principal lever for containing that exposure, allowing operators to bring on early production before committing capital to later stages. Woodside is now assessing a Sangomar Phase 2 of around 33 additional wells tied back to the existing FPSO, an approach that reuses the host facility rather than financing a new one.

At Sangomar, the subsea production systems ­– umbilicals, risers and flowlines – were delivered by the Subsea Integration Alliance under a single engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract. This approach consolidated technical scopes that are traditionally tendered separately.

“As the MSGBC basin moves into its next phase of deepwater development, the ability to deliver projects efficiently, safely and competitively will be critical to unlocking new investment and production. Leveraging the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power platform, we aim to showcase the technologies, partnerships and delivery strategies that are helping transform discoveries into commercially viable production,” says Sandra Jeque, Vice President, Energy Capital & Power.

Gas developments lean on long-term LNG sales agreements and domestic supply commitments to underpin financing, while oil developments rely on the phased reuse of existing infrastructure to protect returns. As such, the “Deepwater Engineering & Offshore Project Delivery in the MSGBC Basin” presentation at MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2026 will examine how these engineering, logistics and contracting decisions connect, and how operators can carry the delivery performance achieved in the region into its next investment cycle.

As Angola seeks to balance sustained oil production with accelerated gas monetization and expanding renewable capacity, TotalEnergies has become a central player in shaping the country’s evolving energy mix. Through multi-billion-dollar investments spanning deepwater oil, non-associated gas and utility-scale solar, the company is supporting Angola’s strategy of maximizing upstream value while progressively diversifying its energy base.

Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, will speak at the Angola Oil & Gas (AOG) 2026 conference and exhibition, taking place September 9–10, with a pre-conference day on September 8. His participation comes at a time when Angola is accelerating upstream licensing, fiscal reforms and infrastructure development aimed at sustaining production while unlocking new gas and lower-carbon energy streams.

TotalEnergies holds a leading position in Angola’s upstream sector and is a major operator across the country’s deepwater production base. The company’s long-term strategy closely mirrors Angola’s energy priorities: extending the life of mature offshore assets, developing frontier basins and building a domestic gas industry capable of supporting LNG exports alongside industrial and power generation demand.

A cornerstone of this strategy is the $6 billion Kaminho development in Block 20/11, the first major deepwater project in the Kwanza Basin. Expected to start production in 2028, the project will deliver around 70,000 barrels per day from the Cameia and Golfinho fields via an FPSO designed to reduce routine flaring through gas reinjection and electrified operations. The development highlights Angola’s continued ability to attract large-scale upstream capital while embedding lower-emission production systems into new projects.

Alongside its upstream expansion, TotalEnergies has strengthened its long-term position in Angola through a 2043 extension of its operatorship in Block 32, creating a framework for further development across six discoveries surrounding the Kaombo Norte and Kaombo Sul FPSOs. The company has also expanded its exploration footprint through partnerships with ExxonMobil and Angola’s National Oil, Gas and Biofuels Agency, securing acreage across frontier blocks in the Benguela and Namibe basins.

Gas development has become an increasingly strategic pillar of TotalEnergies’ Angola portfolio. In March 2026, the company achieved first gas production from the Quiluma field under the New Gas Consortium, marking Angola’s first large-scale non-associated gas development. Once fully operational, the Quiluma and Maboqueiro fields are expected to process around 330 million cubic feet of gas per day, supplying approximately two million tonnes of LNG annually via the Angola LNG facility while also reinforcing domestic gas availability.

Beyond hydrocarbons, TotalEnergies is also expanding its renewable energy presence through the Quilemba solar project near Lubango. Currently under construction, the project will initially deliver 35 MWp, with a second phase adding a further 45 MWp. Once operational in 2026, it will feed power into Angola’s national grid and further reinforce the company’s integrated multi-energy approach across Africa.

As Angola advances its strategy of sustaining oil production while diversifying its energy mix, AOG 2026 provides a key platform for dialogue between policymakers, operators and investors on the next phase of development. Pouyanné’s participation underscores TotalEnergies’ long-term commitment to Angola and highlights the company’s role in executing an integrated energy strategy that spans hydrocarbons, gas infrastructure and renewables – positioning Angola for a more diversified and resilient energy future.
