Key Takeaways
TotalEnergies has commenced production at a key Angolan gas field, delivering a new source of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe as the continent confronts severe price shocks and supply instability stemming from conflict in the Middle East.
- On March 17, 2026, TotalEnergies and its partners began production at the Quiluma offshore gas field, Angola's first non-associated gas development.
- The project will provide a stable supply of natural gas to the Angola LNG plant, which exports directly to the European market.
- This new Angolan supply materializes as European energy prices have climbed over 20%, driven by disruptions in the Middle East, underscoring the strategic value of diversifying energy sources.
