Total SA
Total S.A. is a major oil company headquartered in Paris, France. One of the called "Supermajor" oil companies in the
world, because its businesses cover the entire oil and gas chain, from crude oil and natural gas exploration and
production to power generation, transportation, refining, petroleum product marketing, fuel, and international crude oil
and product trading. Total SA is also a large-scale chemicals manufacturer.
History:
On March 1924, Ernest Mercier, a graduate of the École Polytechnique expert in the electric industry, enlisted the
support of ninety banks and companies to found Compagnie française des pétroles (CFP). Petroleum was seen
as vital after World War I, in the case of a new war with Germany. However, the company was from the start a private
sector company.

Total in Venezuela:
In 2002, Total oil company announced first production of Zuata Sweet syncrude from the Jose upgrader facility on the
Caribbean coast, as part of the Sincor Project. Venezuela´s Sincor project is one of the two major heavy-crude
production projects under way in the world today. This project involves both an upstream and a downstream site,
both located in the state of Anzoategui, in eastern Venezuela. But in 2006, Venezuela's government took control of
an oil field from Total SA when the French oil company refused to sign an agreement to turn the site over to a
state-run JV (Joint Venture).
The Venezuelan government took control of 4 oil ventures in 2007. Major oil companies ConocoPhillips and
Exxon Mobil Corp. refused to sign deals, while Chevron Corp.
, Statoil ASA, Total SA and BP Plc agreed on terms with the
authorities. After this, Total oil company announced they have no plan to take over the stakes of U.S. oil companies
that are quitting projects in Venezuela.
Under a deal signed June 26, Total's stake in Sincor, the operating company for developing the extra-heavy oil field
in the Orinoco Belt, was lowered to 30.3 percent from 47 percent while
Statoil's will be 9.7 percent. Petroleos de Venezuela SA will have a 60 percent stake in the
venture, which was brought on stream in 2000 and has a production capacity of 200,000 barrels a day of extra-heavy oil.
