(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 21-Sep-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — TotalEnergies has officially commenced production at the Fenix gas field, situated 60 km off the coast of Tierra del Fuego, in Southern Argentina. The Fenix field is part of the Cuenca Marina Austral 1 (CMA-1) concession, where TotalEnergies holds a 37.5% operated interest, alongside partners Harbour Energy (37.5%) and Pan American Energy (25%).
The Fenix development, with a daily production capacity of 10 million cubic meters of gas (equivalent to 70,000 barrels of oil per day), features a new unmanned platform installed in 70 meters of water depth. The gas is transported via a 35-kilometer subsea pipeline to the TotalEnergies-operated Véga Pléyade platform and is then processed at onshore facilities in Río Cullen and Cañadon Alfa. The project benefits from existing infrastructure and is considered a low-cost, low-emissions operation, with a carbon intensity of only 9 kg CO2e per barrel of oil equivalent.
Javier Rielo, Senior Vice President Americas, Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies, commented: “The safe and early start-up of Fenix, just two years after reaching the final investment decision (FID), showcases our ability to execute projects efficiently. Fenix will support our gas production plateau in Tierra del Fuego and guarantee a stable gas supply for Argentina. With its low costs and reduced carbon footprint, Fenix aligns perfectly with our company’s strategy for low-cost, low-emissions energy production.”
