Episode 1 – TotalEnergies' Approach to U.S. Oil & Gas

Producing the Energy the World Needs

As energy demand continues to grow, the challenge is not simply to produce more energy. It is to produce energy that is affordable, reliable, and increasingly lower in emissions.

In the discussion, Todd explains how TotalEnergies focuses on producing the right barrels through efficient operations, thoughtful project design, and strong partnerships to improve performance while reducing emission intensity.

The conversation highlights the Company's activities in the U.S. Gulf, a world-class energy basin where extensive infrastructure, advanced technology and decades of expertise help deliver competitive energy with a lower emissions footprint.
