âGolden Provinceâ: How TotalEnergies Plans a MultiâFPSO Hub in Namibia
When TotalEnergiesâ CFO and deputy CFO start calling Namibia a âgolden provinceâ, theyâre not being poetic, theyâre flagging a plan to run multiple FPSOs off Venus and Mopane and pump roughly 350 kbopd from the Orange Basin in the early 2030s.
The idea: Venus gets a 150â160 kbopd FPSO first (FID midâ2026, first oil 2030), Mopane follows with a â„200 kbopd FPSO after a 2028 FID, all built on a shared supply chain and subsea/engineering ecosystem.
This piece breaks down what that hub looks like, why TotalEnergies traded equity with Galp instead of paying cash, how the Mopane carry works, and where prospects like Olympe fit into a regional portfolio of ~10 billion boe of exploration potential.
