2017 REVENUES

Selling prices

Reflecting the higher Brent price and strong Asian demand for West African crude oil grades, the selling price of the Mandji and Rabi Light crude oil grades marketed by Total Gabon averaged 49.7 $/b, up 31% compared to the previous year.

Production

Total Gabon’s equity share of operated and non-operated oil production(1) averaged 44,600 barrels per day in 2017, down 6% compared to the previous year. This decrease was mainly due to:

• The sale to Perenco of interests in several mature fields on October 31, 2017.
• An increase of produced water content and the presence of sulfide deposits in the Anguille sector.
• The natural decline in fields.

These factors were partially offset by:

• A better availability of facilities.
• The acquisition of an additional 50% interest in the Baudroie-Mérou license in June 2017.

Revenues

Revenues amounted to $914 million in 2017, up 17% from $784 million in 2016. The increase was driven mainly by the higher average selling price for Total Gabon’s crude oil grades, partially offset by the 10% decrease in volumes sold, linked mainly to the sale to Perenco of interests in several mature fields on October 31, 2017 and to the lifting schedule. Revenues from third parties also decreased (-20 M$) due essentially to the sale to Perenco of the Rabi-Coucal-Cap Lopez pipeline network.

The 2017 results news release will be published on March 27, 2018, after markets close.
