TotalEnergies has acquired stakes in various oil and gas properties in the United Arab Emirates from Spanish company Cepsa and Japan’s Cosmo Abu Dhabi Energy Exploration & Production (CEPAD).

The French supermajor confirmed the deals this week, noting that the acquisitions are aimed at further strengthening its presence in Abu Dhabi, where it has been operating since 1939.

It said the first deal involved TotalEnergies’ acquisition of a 20% participating interest in the Satah Al Razboot (SARB), Umm Lulu, Bin Nasher and Al Bateel (SARB & Umm Lulu) offshore concessions.

By acquiring a 20% stake in CEPAD, TotalEnergies also acquired an indirect 12.88% interest in the Mubarraz concession held by Abu Dhabi Oil Company (ADOC).
