What happened

TotalEnergies bought a 25% share of ownership and costs in 26 US offshore exploration leases run by Chevron. In return, Chevron took a 75% operating interest in two exploration leases from TotalEnergies. No financial details were disclosed.

Global impact / market context

This is a swap of ownership shares between two energy companies. Ordinary investors see no price or value, only that the two firms are sharing costs and risk on offshore exploration.

What to watch

  1. Any disclosed financial terms for the deal, because none were given and value is still unknown.
  2. Next steps on the 24 Green Canyon and two Walker Ridge blocks, because those are where work would happen.
  3. Further partnership moves between TotalEnergies and Chevron, because the companies say the deal strengthens their U.S. tie.

Affected assets

  • Chevron Corporation
  • TotalEnergies SE
