TotalEnergies has entered into a $1.8 billion agreement with Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a fund managed by BlackRock, concerning its oil and gas infrastructure assets in Africa. 

The deal is structured as a sale-and-leaseback arrangement. Under these terms, TotalEnergies will receive upfront capital while maintaining the operational use of its midstream assets. In return, the company will pay GIP a throughput-based tariff or fee based on production volumes for a period of up to 15 years. 

While the specific projects involved in the agreement were not detailed, the deal highlights the value of the company’s midstream infrastructure in the region, which includes interests such as the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) connecting Uganda and Tanzania.
