Brazil: TotalEnergies Announces Start-Up Of Lapa South-West

TotalEnergies (48%, operator) announces the start-up of the Lapa South-West project, located in the Santos Basin, approximately 300 kilometers offshore Brazil.

The Lapa South-West project, including three wells connected to the existing Lapa floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) unit, will increase production from the Lapa field by 25,000 barrels per day.

“The start-up of our operated Lapa South-West project marks another important milestone for TotalEnergies in Brazil, a key growth country for our Company,” said Nicolas Terraz, President Exploration & Production of TotalEnergies. “This project, which leverages the available capacity of the existing Lapa facilities, delivers low cost and low emission oil production in line with our Company strategy and contributes to the achievement of our objective to grow our production by 3% per year until 2030”.

With this start-up, TotalEnergies continues to ramp up its portfolio in Brazil, following the start-up of Mero-4 in May 2025, and ahead of the start-ups of Atapu-2 and Sépia-2 expected in 2029.
