Business Segments

TotalEnergies operates through five core business segments: Exploration & Production, Integrated LNG, Integrated Power, Refining & Chemicals, and Marketing & Services.

Exploration & Production

This segment encompasses the entire oil and gas value chain, from the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas to power generation, transportation, refining, petroleum product marketing, and international crude oil and product trading. In the Oil & Gas business, fourth quarter production reached 2.43 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (Mboe/d), supported by the ramp-up of projects initiated in 2024.

Integrated LNG

The Integrated LNG segment has demonstrated strong performance, with TotalEnergies projecting sales exceeding 40 million tonnes (Mt) of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in 2025. In the first quarter of 2025 (Q1 2025), this segment achieved an adjusted net operating income of $1.3 billion and generated $1.2 billion in cash flow.

Integrated Power

TotalEnergies made significant investments in Integrated Power during 2024, allocating $4 billion to the segment. This resulted in a 23% increase in net electricity production, and electricity now accounts for over 10% of the company's total sales mix. The company anticipates its power production to grow to more than 50 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2025, which is equivalent to 10% of its hydrocarbon production.

Refining & Chemicals

The company is also a substantial manufacturer in the chemicals sector. The Refining & Chemicals segment manages 16 refineries worldwide and produces fundamental chemical products, including olefins, aromatics, polyethylene, and fertilizers.
