TotalEnergies announced the start-up of the Lapa South-West project in Brazil’s Santos Basin, which will increase production from the Lapa field by about 25,000 barrels per day. The project, operated by TotalEnergies with a 48% stake, connects three new wells to the existing Lapa floating production unit and supports the company’s strategy to expand low-cost, low-emission oil production while targeting 3% annual output growth through 2030.
