Nigeria blocked TotalEnergies' $860M Nigerian asset sale due to missed payments and deadlines.
Nigeria’s Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission has revoked approval for TotalEnergies’ $860 million sale of a 10% stake in the SPDC joint venture to Chappal Energies, citing missed financial and regulatory deadlines by both companies.
The deal, intended to help Total exit high-risk onshore operations in Nigeria, failed due to unmet payments for environmental rehabilitation and fees, despite extensions.
TotalEnergies retains interests in 15 oil licenses and three gas fields, producing about 14,000 barrels of oil-equivalent daily and supplying 40% of its Nigeria LNG gas.
The setback hampers Total’s goal to raise $3.5 billion from asset sales by year-end to reduce debt, which reached $25.9 billion by July 2025.
Other major oil companies have recently sold Nigerian assets, but the future of the transaction remains unclear.
