TotalEnergies sells 10% stake in Nigeria Renaissance JV for $800 million
TotalEnergies completed the sale of its 10% non‑operated interest in the Renaissance joint‑venture licences to Vaaris for $800 million. The transaction, executed by its subsidiary TotalEnergies EP Nigeria, was first announced on 14 January 2026 and closed on 27 October 2026. The company retained full economic interest in the three gas licences (OML 23, OML 28 and OML 77), which provide about 50% of the feedstock for Nigeria LNG.
Why it matters
The $800 million cash inflow strengthens TotalEnergies’ balance sheet, but the company has not yet disclosed how the proceeds will be used. Retaining the gas licences preserves exposure to a key LNG feedstock, limiting the impact on future gas production volumes.
