Total Exploration & Production in the United Kingdom

Total is one of the leading oil and gas producers on the UK Continental Shelf,
with equity production of over 280,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in
2006. Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, Total EP UK Limited operates a cluster of
fields in the Alwyn Area of the northern North Sea, the Elgin and Franklin
fields in the Central North Sea and the Otter field northeast of the Shetland
Islands. Total also operates the Saint Fergus gas terminal and a gas
transportation system, and has interests in a number of non-operated fields.

The Group recently launched the development of the Jura gas-condensate field in
the Alwyn Area, with production expected to start in second-quarter 2008.

Total is also continuing exploration in the UK sector of the North Sea with the
recent Tormore discovery. Recent discoveries have lifted its proved and probable
reserves in the United Kingdom to over one billion barrels of oil equivalent in
2006. Developing the new fields will help to extend production life, notably in
the Alwyn Area, and help to maximize recovery of the United Kingdom's oil and
gas resources.

Total is one of the world's major oil and gas groups, with activities in more
than 130 countries. Its 95,000 employees put their expertise to work in every
part of the industry - exploration and production of oil and natural gas,
refining and marketing, gas trading and electricity. Total is working to keep
the world supplied with energy, both today and tomorrow. The Group is also a
first rank player in chemicals. www.total.com
