RISK FACTORS

­ ­

The Group and its businesses are subject to various risks relating to changing competitive, economic, political, legal, social, industry, business and financial conditions. These conditions, along with TOTAL’s approaches to managing certain of these risks, are described below and discussed in greater detail elsewhere in this Annual Report, particularly under the headings “Item 4. Information on the Company — Other Matters”, “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”.

A substantial or extended decline in oil or natural gas prices would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Prices for oil and natural gas historically have fluctuated widely due to many factors over which we have no control. These factors include:

global and regional economic and political developments in resource-producing regions, particularly in the Middle East, Africa and South America;

global and regional supply and demand;

• global and regional economic and political developments in resource-producing regions, particularly in the Middle East, Africa and South America;
• global and regional supply and demand;
• the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other producing nations to influence global production levels and prices;
• prices of alternative fuels which affect our realized prices under our long-term gas sales contracts;
• governmental regulations and actions;
• global economic and financial market conditions;
• war or other conflicts;
• cost and availability of new technology;
• changes in demographics, including population growth rates and consumer preferences; and
• adverse weather conditions (such as hurricanes) that can disrupt supplies or interrupt operations of our facilities.

the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other producing nations to influence global production levels and prices;

prices of alternative fuels which affect our realized prices under our long-term gas sales contracts;

governmental regulations and actions;

global economic and financial market conditions;

war or other conflicts;

cost and availability of new technology;

changes in demographics, including population growth rates and consumer preferences; and

adverse weather conditions (such as hurricanes) that can disrupt supplies or interrupt operations of our facilities.

Substantial or extended declines in oil and natural gas prices would adversely affect our results of operations by reducing our profits. For the year 2011,2012, we estimate that a decrease of $1.00 per barrel in the average annual price of Brent crude would have the effect of reducing our annual adjusted net operating income from the Upstream segment by approximately €0.130.11 billion (calculated with a base case exchange rate of $1.30$1.40 per €1.00)1.00). In addition to the adverse effect on revenues, margins and profitability

from any fall in oil and natural gas prices, a prolonged period of low prices or other indicators could lead to reviews for impairment of the Group’s oil and natural gas properties and could impact reserves. Such reviews would reflect management’s view of long-term oil and natural gas prices and could result in a charge for impairment that could have a significant effect on our results of operations in the period in which it occurs. Lower oil and natural gas prices over prolonged periods may also reduce the economic viability of projects planned or in development, causing us to cancel or postpone capital expansion projects, and may reduce liquidity, thereby potentially decreasing our ability to finance capital expenditures. If we are unable to follow through with capital expansion projects, our opportunities for future revenue and profitability growth would be reduced, which could materially impact our financial condition.

However, in a high oil and gas price environment, we can experience sharp increases in cost and fiscal take, and, under some production-sharing contracts, our entitlement to reserves could be reduced. Higher prices can also reduce demand for our products.

We face foreign exchange risks that could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business faces foreign exchange risks because a large percentage of our revenues and cash receipts are denominated in dollars, the international currency of petroleum sales, while a significant portion of our operating expenses and income taxes accrue in euros and other currencies. Movements between the dollar and euro or other currencies may adversely affect our business by negatively impacting our booked revenues and income, and may also result in significant translation adjustments that impact our shareholders’ equity.
Our long-term profitability depends on cost effective discovery, acquisition and development of new reserves; if we are unsuccessful, our results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

A significant portion of our revenues and the majority of our operating income are derived from the sale of crude oil and natural gas which we extract from underground reserves discovered and developed as part of our Upstream business. In order for this business to continue to be profitable, we need to replace depleted reserves with new proved reserves. Furthermore, we need to accomplish such replacement in a manner that allows subsequent production to be economically viable. However, our ability to discover or acquire and develop new reserves successfully is uncertain and can be negatively affected by a number of factors, including:

unexpected drilling conditions, including pressure or irregularities in geological formations;

the risk of dry holes or failure to find commercial quantities of hydrocarbons;

equipment failures, fires, blow-outs or accidents;

our inability to develop new technologies that permit access to previously inaccessible fields;

 
• unexpected drilling conditions, including pressure or irregularities in geological formations;
• equipment failures or accidents;
• our inability to develop new technologies that permit access to previously inaccessible fields;
• adverse weather conditions;

• compliance with unanticipated governmental requirements;
• shortages or delays in the availability or delivery of appropriate equipment;
• industrial action; and
• problems with legal title.

adverse weather conditions;

compliance with both anticipated and unanticipated governmental requirements;

shortages or delays in the availability or delivery of appropriate equipment;

industrial action;

competition from publicly held and state-run oil and gas companies for the acquisition of assets and licenses;

increased taxes and royalties, including retroactive claims; and

problems with legal title.

Any of these factors could lead to cost overruns and impair our ability to make discoveries and acquisitions or complete a development project, or to make production economical. If we fail to discover and develop new reserves cost-effectively on an ongoing basis, our results of operations, including profits, and our financial condition, would be materially and adversely affected.

Our crude oil and natural gas reserve data are only estimates, and subsequent downward adjustments are possible. If actual production from such reserves is lower than current estimates indicate, our results of operations and financial condition would be negatively impacted.

Our proved reserves figures are estimates reflecting applicable reporting regulations as they may evolve. Proved reserves are those reserves which, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible — from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations — prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. Reserves are estimated by teams of qualified, experienced and trained earth scientists,geoscientists, petroleum engineers and project engineers, who rigorously review and analyze in detail all available geosciences and engineering data (e.g., seismic, electrical logs, cores, fluids, pressures, flow rates, facilities parameters). This process involves making subjective judgments, including with respect to the estimate of hydrocarbons initially in place, initial production rates and recovery efficiency, based on available geological, technical and economic data. Consequently, estimates of reserves are not exact measurements and are subject to revision. In addition, they may be negatively impacted by a variety of

factors which are beyond our control and which could cause such estimates to be adjusted downward in the future, or cause our actual production to be lower than our currently reported proved reserves indicate. The main such factors include:

a decline in the price of oil or gas, making reserves no longer economically viable to exploit and therefore not classifiable as proved;

• a decline in the price of oil or gas, making reserves no longer economically viable to exploit and therefore not classifiable as proved;
• an increase in the price of oil or gas, which may reduce the reserves that we are entitled to under production sharing and risked service contracts;
• changes in tax rules and other government regulations that make reserves no longer economically viable to exploit; and
• the actual production performance of our reservoirs.

an increase in the price of oil or gas, which may reduce the reserves that we are entitled to under production sharing and risked service contracts and other contractual terms;

changes in tax rules and other government regulations that make reserves no longer economically viable to exploit; and

the actual production performance of our reservoirs.

Our reserves estimates may therefore require substantial downward revisions to the extent our subjective judgments prove not to have been conservative enough based on the available geosciences and engineering data, or our assumptions regarding factors or variables that are beyond our control prove to be incorrect over time. Any downward adjustment would indicate lower future production amounts, which could adversely affect our results of operations, including profits as well as our financial condition.

We have significant production and reserves located in politically, economically and socially unstable areas, where the likelihood of material disruption of our operations is relatively high.

A significant portion of our oil and gas production occurs in unstable regions around the world, most significantly Africa, but also the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and South America. Approximately 32%28%, 22%24%, 10% and 8%, respectively, of our 20102011 combined liquids and gas production came from these four regions. In recent years, a number of the countries in these regions have experienced varying degrees of one or more of the following: economic instability, political volatility, civil war, violent conflict and social unrest. In Africa, certain of the countries in which we have production have recently suffered from some of these conditions. conditions, including Nigeria, where we had in 2011 our second highest hydrocarbon production, and Libya.

The Middle East in general has recently suffered increased political volatility in connection with violent conflict and social unrest. A number of countries in South America where we have production and other facilities, including Argentina, Bolivia and Venezuela, have suffered from political or economic instability and social unrest and related

problems. In Asia-Pacific, Indonesia has suffered some of these conditions. Any of these conditions alone or in combination could disrupt our operations in any of these regions, causing substantial declines in production. Furthermore, in addition to current production, we are also exploring for


5


and developing new reserves in other regions of the world that are historically characterized by political, social and economic instability, such as the Caspian Sea region where we have a number of large projects currently underway. The occurrence and magnitude of incidents related to economic, social and political instability are unpredictable. It is possible that they could have a material adverse impact on our production and operations in the future.

We are exposed to risks regarding the safety and security of our operations. In addition, while our insurance coverage is in line with industry practice, we are not insured against all possible risks.

TOTAL engages in a broad scope of activities, which include drilling, oil and gas production, processing, transportation, refining and petrochemical activities, storage and distribution of petroleum products, and production of base chemical and specialty products, and involve a wide range of operational risks. Among these risks are those of explosion, fireexplosions, fires, accidents, equipment failures or leakage of toxic products as well as environmental risks related toor emissions andor discharges into the air, water or soil, and the management of waste.including related environmental risks. We also face risks, once production is discontinued, because our activities require environmental site remediation. In the transportation area, the type of risk depends not only on the hazardous nature of the products transported, but also on the transportation methods used (mainly pipelines, maritime, river-maritime, rail, road), the volumes involved, and the sensitivity of the regions through which the transport passes (quality of infrastructure, population density, environmental considerations).

Acts of terrorism against our plants and offices, pipelines, transportation or computer systems could severely disrupt businesses and operations and could cause harm to people.

Certain branches or activities face specific additional risks. In Exploration & Production, we face risks related to the physical characteristics of our oil or gas fields. These include the risks of eruptions of crude oil or of natural gas, discovery of hydrocarbon pockets with abnormal pressure, crumbling of well openings, leaks that can harm the environment and risks of fire or explosion. These events may cause injury or death, damage or destroy crude oil or natural gas wells as well as equipment and other property, lead to a disruption of activity or cause environmental damage. In addition, since exploration and production activities may take place on sites that are ecologically sensitive (tropical forest,(for example, in tropical forests or in a marine environment, etc.)environment), each site requires a

risk-based approach to avoid or minimize the impact on human health, flora and fauna, the ecosystem and biodiversity. In certain situations where TOTAL is not the operator, the Group may have reduced influence and control over third parties, which may limit its ability to manage and control these risks. TOTAL’s activities in the Chemicals segment and the Refining & Chemicals and Supply & Marketing divisionsegments also entail additional health, safety and environmental risks related to the overall life cycle of the products manufactured, as well as raw materials used in the manufacturing process, such as catalysts, additives and monomer feedstocks. These risks can arise from the intrinsic characteristics of the products involved (flammability, toxicity, or long-term environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions), their use (including by customers), emissions and discharges resulting from their manufacturing process, and from recycling or disposing of materials and wastes at the end of their useful life.

If an event occurs leading to personal injury, death, property damage or discharge of hazardous materials into the environment, contractual

Contractual terms may provide for indemnification obligations, either by TOTAL in favor of third-parties or by third-parties for TOTAL’s benefit.benefit, if, notably, an event occurs leading to personal injury, death, property damage or discharge of hazardous materials into the environment. With respect to joint ventures the assets of which are operated by TOTAL, contractual terms generally provide that TOTAL assumes liability for damages caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct. With respect to joint ventures in which TOTAL has an interest but that assets of which are operated by others, contractual terms generally provide that the operator assumes liability for damages caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct. All other liabilities of any type of joint venture are generally assumed by the partners in proportion to their respective ownership interests. With respect to third party providers of goods and services, the amount and nature of liabilities assumed by the third party depends on the context and may be limited by contract. With respect to the Group’s customers, TOTAL seeks to ensure that its products meet applicable specifications and that TOTAL abides by all applicable consumer protection laws.

To manage these risks, we maintain worldwide third-party liability Failure to do so could lead to personal injury, environmental harm, regulatory violations and loss of customers, and could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and reputation.

While our insurance coverage foris in line with industry practice, we are not insured against all of our subsidiaries. In addition, we alsopossible risks.

We maintain insurance to protect us against the risk of damage to Group propertyand/or business disruption.disruption to our main refining and petrochemical sites. In addition, we also maintain worldwide third-party liability insurance

coverage for all of our subsidiaries. Our insurance and risk management policies are described under “Item 4. Other Matters — Insurance and risk management”. While we believe our insurance coverage is in line with industry practice and sufficient to cover normal risks in our operations, we are not insured against all possible risks. In the event of a major environmental disaster, for example, our liability may exceed the maximum coverage provided by our third-party liability insurance. The loss we could suffer in the event of such a disaster would depend on all the facts and circumstances and would be subject to a whole range of uncertainties, including legal uncertainty as to the scope of liability for consequential damages, which may include economic damage not directly connected to the disaster. The Group cannot guarantee that it will not suffer any uninsured loss and there can be no assurance,


6


particularly in the case of a major environmental disaster or industrial accident, that such loss would not have a material adverse effect on the Group.

We are subject to stringent environmental, health and safety laws in numerous jurisdictions around the world and may incur material costs to comply with these laws and regulations.

Our workforce and the public are exposed to risks inherent to our operations that potentially could lead to injuries, loss of life or environmental damage and could result in regulatory action, legal liability and damage to our reputation.

We incur, and expect to continue to incur, substantial capital and operating expenditures to comply with increasingly complex laws and regulations covering the protection of the natural environment and the promotion of worker health and safety, including:

costs to prevent, control, eliminate or reduce certain types of air and water emissions, including those costs incurred in connection with government action to address climate change;

• costs to prevent, control, eliminate or reduce certain types of air and water emissions, including those costs incurred in connection with government action to address climate change;
• remedial measures related to environmental contamination or accidents at various sites, including those owned by third parties;
• compensation of persons claiming damages caused by our activities or accidents; and
• costs in connection with the decommissioning of drilling platforms and other facilities.

If our established financial reserves prove inadequate, environmental costs could have a material effect on our results of operations and our financial position. Furthermore, in the countries where we operate or expect to operate in the near future, new laws and regulations, the

imposition of tougher license requirements, increasingly strict enforcement or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations or the discovery of previously unknown contamination may also cause us to incur material costs resulting from actions taken to comply with such laws and regulations, including:

modifying operations;

• modifying operations;
• installing pollution control equipment;
• implementing additional safety measures; and
• performing siteclean-ups.

installing pollution control equipment;

implementing additional safety measures; and

performing site clean-ups.

As a further result of any new laws and regulations or other factors, we may also have to curtail, modify or cease certain operations or implement temporary shutdowns of facilities, which could diminish our productivity and materially and adversely impact our results of operations, including profits.

Security threats require continuous assessment

Regulatory measures designed to address climate change and response measures. Actsphysical effects attributed to climate change may adversely affect our businesses.

Growing public concerns in the EU and globally that rising greenhouse gas emissions and climate change may significantly affect the environment and society could adversely affect our businesses, including by the addition of terrorism againststricter regulations that increase our plantsoperating costs, affect product sales and offices, pipelines, transportation or computer systems could severely disrupt businessesreduce profitability. Furthermore, our business operates in varied locales where the potential physical impacts of climate change, including changes in weather patterns, are highly uncertain and operations and could cause harm to people.

may adversely impact the results of our operations.

Our operations throughout the developing world are subject to intervention by various governments, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We have significant exploration and production, and in some cases refining, marketing or chemicals operations, in developing countries whose governmental and regulatory framework is subject to unexpected change and where the enforcement of contractual rights is uncertain. In addition, our exploration and production activity in such countries is often done in conjunction with state-owned entities, for example as part of a joint venture, where the state has a significant degree of control. In recent years, in various regions globally, we have seen governments and state-owned enterprises exercising greater authority and imposing more stringent conditions on companies pursuing exploration and production activities in their respective countries, increasing the costs and uncertainties of our business operations, which is a trend we expect to

continue. Potential increasing intervention by governments in such countries can take a wide variety of forms, including:

the award or denial of exploration and production interests;

• the award or denial of exploration and production interests;
• 

the imposition of specific drilling obligations;

• priceand/or production quota controls;
• nationalization or expropriation of our assets;
• unilateral cancellation or modification of our license or contract rights;
• increases in taxes and royalties, including retroactive claims;
• the establishment of production and export limits;
• the renegotiation of contracts;
• payment delays; and
• currency exchange restrictions or currency devaluation.

price and/or production quota controls;


nationalization or expropriation of our assets;

unilateral cancellation or modification of our license or contract rights;

increases in taxes and royalties, including retroactive claims;

the establishment of production and export limits;

the renegotiation of contracts;

payment delays; and

currency exchange restrictions or currency devaluation.

Imposition of any of these factors by a host government in a developing country where we have substantial operations, including exploration, could cause us to incur material costs or cause our production to decrease, potentially having a material adverse effect on our results of operations, including profits.

We face foreign exchange risks that could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business faces foreign exchange risks because a large percentage of our revenues and cash receipts are denominated in dollars, the international currency of petroleum sales, while a significant portion of our operating expenses and income taxes accrue in euros and other currencies. Movements between the dollar and euro or other currencies may adversely affect our business by negatively impacting our booked revenues and income, and may also result in significant translation adjustments that impact our shareholders’ equity.

Ethical misconduct or breaches of applicable laws by our employees could expose us to criminal and civil penalties and be damaging to our reputation and shareholder value.

Our Code of Conduct, which applies to all of our employees, defines our commitment to integrity, compliance with all applicable legal requirements, high ethical standards and the behaviors and actions we expect of our businesses and people wherever we operate. Ethical misconduct or non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including non-compliance with anti-bribery, anticorruption and other applicable laws, could expose TOTAL and our employees to criminal and civil penalties

and could be damaging to our reputation and shareholder value.

Disruption of our critical IT services or breaches of information security could adversely affect our operations.

Our businesses depend heavily on the reliability and security of our information technology (“IT”) systems. If the integrity of our IT systems were compromised due to, for example, technical failure or cyber attack, our business operations and assets could sustain serious damage, material intellectual property could be divulged and, in some cases, personal injury, environmental harm and regulatory violations could occur.

We have activities in certain countries which are subject to U.S. and EU sanctions and our activities in Iran and Syria could lead to sanctions under relevant U.S. and EU legislation.

The United States and the European Union (“EU”) have adopted legal restrictions with respect to certain activities in Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria, and the U.S. Department of State has identified these countries as state sponsors of terrorism. We currently have investments in Iran and, to a lesser extent, Syria Myanmar, Sudan and Cuba. U.S. legislation and regulations currently impose economic sanctions on these countries.

In 1996,

With respect to Iran, the United States adopted legislation in 1996 implementing sanctions againstnon-U.S. companies doing business in Iran and Libya (the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act, referred to as “ILSA”), which in 2006 was amended to concern only business in Iran (then renamed the Iran Sanctions Act, referred to as “ISA”).

Pursuant to this statute, the President of the United States is authorized to initiate an investigation into the activities ofnon-U.S. companies in Iran and the possible imposition of sanctions (from a list that includes denial of financing by the U.S. Export-Import Bank, limitations on the amount of loans or credits available from U.S. financial institutions and prohibition of U.S. federal procurements from sanctioned persons) against persons found, in particular, to have knowingly made investments of $20 million or more in any12-month period in the petroleum sector in Iran. In May 1998, the U.S. government waived the application of sanctions for TOTAL’s investment in the South Pars gas field. This waiver, which has not been modified since it was granted, does not address TOTAL’s other activities in Iran, although TOTAL has not been notified of any related sanctions.

In November 1996, the Council of the European Union adopted regulations which prohibit TOTAL from complying with any requirement or prohibition based on or resulting

directly or indirectly from certain enumerated legislation, including ILSA (now ISA). It also prohibits TOTAL from having its waiver for South Pars extended to other activities.

In each of the years since the passage of ILSA and until 2007, TOTAL made investments in Iran in excess of $20 million (excluding the investments made as part of the development of South Pars). Since 2008, TOTAL’s position has consisted essentially in being reimbursed for its past investments as part of buyback contracts signed between 1995 and 1999 with respect to permits on which the Group is no longer the operator. In 2010, TOTAL’s2011, TOTAL had no production in Iran represented less than 0.1% of the Group’s worldwide production.

Iran.

ISA was amended in July 2010 by the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act of 2010 (“CISADA”), which expanded the scope of ISA and restricted the President’s ability to grant waivers. In addition to sanctionable investments in Iran’s petroleum sector, parties may now be sanctioned for any transaction exceeding $1 million or series of transactions exceeding $5 million in any12-month period for knowingly providing to Iran refined petroleum products, and for knowingly providing to Iran goods, services, technology, information or support that could directly and significantly either (i) facilitate the maintenance or expansion of Iran’s domestic production of refined petroleum products, or (ii) contribute to the enhancement of Iran’s ability to import refined petroleum products. The sanctions to be imposed against violating firmsparties generally prohibit transactions in foreign exchange by the sanctioned company,party, prohibit any transfers of credit or payments between, by, through or to any financial institution to the extent that such transfers or payments involve any interest of the sanctioned company,party, and require blocking of any property of the sanctioned companyparty that is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Investments in the petroleum sector commenced prior to the adoption of CISADA appear to remain subject to thepre-amended version of ISA. The new sanctions added by CISADA would be available with respect to new investments in the petroleum sector or any other sanctionable activity occurring on or after July 1, 2010. Prior to CISADA’s enactment, TOTAL discontinued now-prohibitedprohibited sales under ISA, as amended by CISADA, of refined products to Iran.

On September 30, 2010, the U.S. State Department announced that the U.S. government, pursuant to the “Special Rule” provision of ISA added by CISADA that allows it to avoid making a determination of sanctionability under ISA with respect to any party that provides certain assurances, would not make such a determination with respect to TOTAL. The U.S. State Department further

indicated at that time that, as long as TOTAL acts in accordance with its commitments, TOTAL will not be regarded as a company of concern for its past Iran-related activities.

On November 21, 2011, President Obama issued Executive Order 13590, which authorized sanctions that are similar to those available under ISA for knowingly, on or after November 21, 2011, selling, leasing, or providing to Iran goods, services, technology, or support that (i) has a fair market value of $1 million or more or that, during a 12-month period, has an aggregate fair market value of $5 million or more, and that could directly and significantly contribute to the maintenance or enhancement of Iran’s ability to develop petroleum resources located in Iran, or (ii) has a fair market value of $250,000 or more or that, during a 12-month period, has an aggregate fair market value of $1 million or more, and that could directly and significantly contribute to the maintenance or expansion of Iran’s domestic production of petrochemical products. TOTAL does not conduct activities in Iran that could be sanctionable under Executive Order 13590, and there is no provision in Executive Order 13590 that modifies the aforementioned “Special Rule”. In addition, the U.S. State Department has published guidance that states the completion of existing contracts is not sanctionable under Executive Order 13590.

France and the European UnionEU have adopted measures, based on United Nations Security Council resolutions, which restrict the movement of certain individuals and goods to or from Iran as well as certain financial transactions with Iran, in each case when such individuals, goods or transactions are related to nuclear proliferation and weapons activities or likely to contribute to their development. In July and October 2010, the European Union adopted new restrictive measures regarding Iran (the “EU Measures”).Iran. Among other things, the supply of key equipment and technology in the following sectors of the oil and gas industry in Iran are prohibited: refining, liquefied natural gas, exploration and production. The prohibition extends to technical assistance, training and financial assistance in connection with such items. Extension of loans or credit to, acquisition of shares in, entry into joint ventures with or other participation in enterprises in Iran (or Iranian-owned enterprises outside of Iran) engaged in any of the targeted sectors also is prohibited. Moreover, with respect to restrictions on transfers of funds and on financial services, any transfer of at least €40,00040,000 or equivalent to an Iranian individual or entity shall require a prior authorization of the competent authorities of the EU Member States.

On January 23, 2012, the Council of the European Union prohibited the purchase, import and transport of Iranian oil

 

and petroleum and petrochemical products by European persons and by entities constituted under the laws of an EU Member State. Prior to that date, TOTAL had ceased these now-prohibited activities.

TOTAL continues to closely monitor legislative and other developments in France, the European UnionEU and the United States in order to determine whether its limited activities in Iran, Syria and other sanctioned or potentially sanctioned jurisdictions could subject it to the application of sanctions. However, theThe Group cannot assure that current or future regulations or developments regarding Iran will not have a negative impact on its business or reputation.

The United States also imposes sanctions based on

With respect to Syria, the United Nations Security Council resolutions described above,EU adopted measures in May 2011 with criminal and financial penalties that prohibit the supply of certain equipment to Syria, as well as broadcertain financial and comprehensive economicasset transactions with respect to a list of named individuals and entities. These measures apply to European persons and to entities constituted under the laws of an EU Member State. In September 2011, the EU adopted further measures, including, notably, a prohibition on the purchase, import or transportation from Syria of crude oil and petroleum products. Since early September 2011, the Group ceased to purchase hydrocarbons from Syria. On December 1, 2011, the EU extended sanctions which are administrated byagainst, among others, three state-owned Syrian oil firms, including General Petroleum Corporation, TOTAL’s co-contracting partner in PSA 1988 (Deir Es Zor licence) and the Tabiyeh contract. TOTAL has ceased its activities that contribute to oil and gas production in Syria.

The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (referred to as “OFAC”). administers and enforces broad and comprehensive economic sanctions programs, as well as sanctions that are based on the United Nations Security Council resolutions referred to above and that target individuals engaged in terrorism or weapons proliferation in Iran, using the blocking of assets and trade restrictions. The activities that are restricted depend on the sanctions program and targeted country or parties, and

civil and/or criminal penalties, imposed on a per transaction basis, can be substantial. These OFAC sanctions generally apply to U.S. persons and activities taking place in the United States or that are otherwise subject to U.S. jurisdiction. Since August 16, 2010, transactions between Iranian entities andnon-U.S. financial institutions holding U.S. bank accounts in the United States have been subject to OFAC restrictions. Sanctions administered by OFAC target, among others, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar (Burma), Sudan and Syria. TOTAL does not believe that these sanctions are applicable to any of its activities in these countries.

the OFAC-targeted countries and, since the independence of the Republic of South Sudan on July 9, 2011, TOTAL is no longer present in Sudan.

On December 8, 2011, OFAC amended the Sudanese Sanctions Regulations with the publication of two general licenses that authorize all activities and transactions relating to the petroleum and petrochemical industries in the Republic of South Sudan and related financial transactions, and the transshipment of goods, technology and services through Sudan to or from the Republic of South Sudan and related financial transactions.

In addition, many U.S. states have adopted legislation requiring state pension funds to divest themselves of securities in any company with active business operations in Iran or Sudan.Sudan, and state contracts not to be awarded to such companies. State insurance regulators have adopted similar initiatives relating to investments by insurance companies in companies doing business with the Iranian oil and gas, nuclear, and defense sectors. TOTAL has no business operations in Sudan and, to date, has not made any significant investments or industrial investments there. The Genocide Intervention Network (formerly known as Sudan Divestment Task Force) report states that TOTAL should be regarded as “inactive” in Sudan by the U.S. states that have adopted such divestment legislation. CISADA and the Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act, which was adopted by the U.S. Congress on December 31, 2007, supportsupports these state legislative initiatives. If TOTAL’s operations in Iran or Sudan were determined to fall within the prohibited scope of these laws, and TOTAL were not to qualify for any available exemptions, certain U.S. institutions holding interests in TOTAL may be required to sell their interests. If significant, sales of securities resulting from such lawsand/or regulatory initiatives could have an adverse effect on the prices of TOTAL’s securities.

UPSTREAM

Upstream

TOTAL’s Upstream segment includes the Exploration & Production and Gas & Power divisions. The Group has exploration and production activities in more than forty countries and produces oil or gas in approximately thirty countries. The Group’s Gas & Power division conducts

activities downstream from production related to natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), as well as power generation and trading, and other activities.

 

Exploration & Production

Exploration and development

TOTAL’s Upstream segment aims at continuing to combine long-term growth and profitability at the level of the best in the industry.

TOTAL evaluates exploration opportunities based on a variety of geological, technical, political and economic factors (including taxes and license terms), and on projected oil and gas prices. Discoveries and extensions of existing fields accounted for approximately 46%76% of the 2,4452,037 Mboe added to the Upstream segment’s proved reserves during the three-year period ended December 31, 2010

2011 (before deducting production and sales of reserves in place and adding any acquisitions of reserves in place during this period). The remaining 54%24% comes from revisions of previous estimates. The level of revisions during this three year period was significantly impacted by the effect of successive increases of the reference oil price (from $36.55/b at the end of 2008 to $110.96/b in 2011 for Brent crude) which induced a substantial negative revision.

In 2011, the exploration investments of consolidated subsidiaries amounted to1,629 million (including exploration bonuses included in the unproved property

 

acquisition costs). Exploration investments were made primarily in Norway, the United Kingdom, Angola, Brazil, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Brunei, Kenya, French Guiana and Nigeria. In 2010, the exploration investments of consolidated subsidiaries amounted to €1,4721,472 million (comprising(including exploration bonuses included in the unproved property acquisition costs). The main exploration investments were made in Angola, Norway, Brazil, the United Kingdom, the United States, Indonesia, Nigeria and Brunei. In 2009, the

exploration investments of consolidated subsidiaries amounted to €1,4861,486 million (comprising(including exploration bonuses included in the unproved property acquisition costs). The main exploration investments were made notably in the United States, Angola, the United Kingdom, Norway, Libya, Nigeria and the Republic of the Congo. In 2008, exploration investments of consolidated subsidiaries amounted to €1,243 million (comprising exploration bonuses included in the unproved property acquisition costs) notably in Angola, Nigeria, Norway, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Libya, Brunei, Gabon, Cameroon, Indonesia, China, the Republic of the Congo and Canada.

The Group’s consolidated Exploration & Production subsidiaries’ development investments amounted to €810 billion in 2011, primarily in Angola, Nigeria, Norway, Kazakhstan, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Gabon, Indonesia, the Republic of the Congo, the United States and Thailand. The Group’s consolidated Exploration & Production subsidiaries’ development investments amounted to8 billion in 2010, primarily in Angola, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Norway, Indonesia, the Republic of the Congo, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Thailand, Gabon and Australia. The Group’s consolidated Exploration & Production subsidiaries’In 2009, development investments amounted to nearly €88 billion, in 2009, primarilypredominantly in Angola, Nigeria, Norway, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, the Republic of the Congo, the United Kingdom, the United States, Gabon, Canada, Thailand, Russia and Qatar. In 2008, development investments amounted to €7 billion, predominantly in Angola, Nigeria, Norway, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, the Republic of the Congo, the United Kingdom, Gabon, Canada, the United States, and Qatar.

Reserves

The definitions used for proved, proved developed and proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are in accordance with the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC)(“SEC”) Rule 4-10 ofRegulation S-X as amended by the SEC Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting release issued on December 31, 2008. Proved reserves are estimated using geological and engineering data to determine with reasonable certainty whether the crude oil or natural gas in known reservoirs is recoverable under existing regulatory, economic and operating conditions.

TOTAL’s oil and gas reserves are consolidated annually, taking into account, among other factors, levels of production, field reassessment,reassessments, additional reserves from discoveries and acquisitions, disposal of reserves and other economic factors. Unless otherwise indicated, any reference to TOTAL’s proved reserves, proved developed reserves, proved undeveloped reserves and production reflects the Group’s entire share of such reserves or such production. TOTAL’s worldwide proved reserves include the proved reserves of its consolidated subsidiaries as well as its

proportionate share of the proved reserves of equity affiliates and of two companies accounted for under the cost method.affiliates. For further information concerning changes in TOTAL’s proved reserves for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, see “Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (Unaudited)”.

The reserves estimation process involves making subjective judgments. Consequently, estimates of reserves are not exact measurements and are subject to revision under well-established control procedures.

The reserves booking process requires, among other things:

internal peer reviews of technical evaluations to ensure that the SEC definitions and guidance are followed; and

that management makes significant funding commitments towards the development of the reserves prior to booking.

• internal peer reviews of technical evaluations to ensure that the SEC definitions and guidance are followed; and
• that management makes significant funding commitments towards the development of the reserves prior to booking.

For further information regarding the preparation of reserves estimates, see “Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (Unaudited)”.

Proved reserves

In accordance with the amendedRule 4-10 ofRegulation S-X, proved reserves for the years ended on or after December 31, 2009, are calculated using a12-month average price determined as the unweighted arithmetic average of thefirst-day-of-the-month price for each month of the relevant year unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. The reference prices for 2011, 2010 and 2009 were, respectively, $110.96/b, $79.02/b and $59.91/b for Brent crude. The

As of December 31, 2011, TOTAL’s combined proved reserves forof oil and gas were 11,423 Mboe (53% of which were proved developed reserves). Liquids (crude oil, natural gas liquids and bitumen) represented approximately 51% of these reserves and natural gas the year ended December 31, 2008remaining 49%. These reserves were calculated using December 31 price ($36.55/b)located in Europe (mainly in Italy, Norway and the United Kingdom), in Africa (mainly in Angola, Gabon, Libya, Nigeria and the Republic of the Congo), in the Americas (mainly in Canada, the United States, Argentina and Venezuela), in the Middle East (mainly in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen), and in Asia (mainly in Australia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan and Russia).

As of December 31, 2010, TOTAL’s combined proved reserves of oil and gas were 10,695 Mboe (53% of which were proved developed reserves). Liquids (crude oil, natural gas liquids and bitumen) represented approximately 56% of these reserves and natural gas the remaining 44%. These reserves were located in Europe (mainly in Norway

and the United Kingdom), in Africa (mainly in Angola, Gabon, Libya, Nigeria and the Republic of the Congo), in the Americas (mainly in Canada, the United States, Argentina and Venezuela), in the Middle East (mainly in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen), and in Asia (mainly in Indonesia and Kazakhstan).

As of December 31, 2009, TOTAL’s combined proved reserves of oil and gas were 10,483 Mboe (56% of which were proved developed reserves). Liquids (crude oil, natural gas liquids and bitumen) represented approximately 54% of these reserves and natural gas the

remaining 46%. These reserves were located in Europe (mainly in Norway and the United Kingdom), in Africa (mainly in Angola, Gabon, Libya, Nigeria and the Republic of the Congo), in the Americas (mainly in Canada, the United States, Argentina and Venezuela), in the Middle East (mainly in Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen), and in Asia (mainly in Indonesia and Kazakhstan).
As of December 31, 2008, TOTAL’s combined proved reserves of oil and gas were 10,458 Mboe (50% of which were proved developed reserves). Liquids represented approximately 54% of these reserves and natural gas the remaining 46%. These reserves were located in Europe (mainly in Norway and the United Kingdom), in Africa (mainly in Algeria, Angola, Gabon, Libya, Nigeria and the Republic of the Congo), in the Americas (mainly in Canada, Bolivia, Argentina, and Venezuela), in the Middle East (mainly in Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen), and in Asia (mainly in Indonesia and Kazakhstan).

Sensitivity to oil and gas prices

Changes in the price used as a reference for the proved reserves estimation result in non-proportionate inverse changes in proved reserves associated with production sharing and risked service contracts (which together represent approximately 30%26% of TOTAL’s reserves as of December 31, 2010)2011). Under such contracts, TOTAL is entitled to a portion of the production, the sale of which is meant to cover expenses incurred by the Group. As oil prices increase, fewer barrels are necessary to cover the same amount of expenses. Moreover, the number of barrels retrievable under these contracts may vary according to criteria such as cumulative production, the rate of return on investment or the income-cumulative expenses ratio. This decrease is partly offset by an extension of the duration over which fields can be produced economically. However, the increase in reserves due to extended field life resulting from higher prices is generally less than the decrease in reserves under production sharing or risked service contracts due to such higher prices. As a result, higher prices lead to a decrease in TOTAL’s reserves.

Furthermore, changes in the price used as a reference for the proved reserves estimation impact the volume of royalties in Canada and thus TOTAL’s share of proved reserves.

Production

For the full year 2010,2011, average daily oil and gas production was 2,3782,346 kboe/d compared to 2,2812,378 kboe/d in 2009.

2010.

Liquids accounted for approximately 56%52% and natural gas accounted for approximately 44%48% of TOTAL’s combined liquids and natural gas production in 2010.2011.

The table on the next page sets forth by geographic area TOTAL’s average daily production of liquids and natural gas for each of the last three years.

Consistent with industry practice, TOTAL often holds a percentage interest in its fields rather than a 100% interest, with the balance being held by joint venture partners (which may include other international oil companies, state-owned oil companies or government entities). TOTAL frequently acts as operator (the party responsible for technical production) on acreage in which it holds an interest. See the table “Presentation of production activities by geographic area”region” on the following pages for a description of TOTAL’s producing assets.

As in 20092010 and 2008,2009, substantially all of the liquids production from TOTAL’s Upstream segment in 20102011 was marketed by the Trading & Shipping division of TOTAL’s Downstream segment. See the table “— Business Overview — Trading & Shipping — SupplyTrading division’s supply and sales of crude oil”.

The majority of TOTAL’s natural gas production is sold under long-term contracts. However, its North American production, and to some extentpart of its production from the United Kingdom, Norway and Argentina, is sold on the spot market. The long-term contracts under which TOTAL sells its natural gas usually provide for a price related to, among other factors, average crude oil and other petroleum product prices, as well as, in some cases, a cost-of-living index. Though the price of natural gas tends to fluctuate in line with crude oil prices, a slight delay may occur before changes in crude oil prices are reflected in long-term natural gas prices. Due to the interaction between the contract price of natural gas and crude oil prices, contract prices are not usually affected by short-term market fluctuations in the spot price of natural gas.

Some of TOTAL’s long-term contracts, notably in Argentina, Indonesia, Nigeria, Norway, Qatar and Qatar,Russia, specify the delivery of quantities of natural gas that may or may not be fixed and determinable. Such delivery commitments vary substantially, both in duration and in scope, from contract to contract throughout the world. For example, in some cases, contracts require delivery of natural gas on an as-needed basis, and, in other cases, contracts call for the delivery of varied amounts of natural gas over different periods of time. Nevertheless, TOTAL estimates the fixed and determinable quantity of gas to be delivered over the period2011-2013 2012-2014 to be 3,6654,051 Bcf. The Group expects to satisfy most of these obligations through the production of its proved reserves of natural gas, with, if needed, additional sourcing from spot market purchases. See “Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (Unaudited)”.

• In 2008, the Group closed the acquisition of Synenco, the two principal assets of which are a 60% interest in the Northern Lights project and 100% of the adjacent McClelland lease. In early 2009, the Group sold to Sinopec, the other partner in the project, a 10% share in the Northern Lights project and a 50% share in the McClelland lease, reducing its interest in each of the assets to 50%. The Northern Lights project, located approximately 50 km north of Joslyn, is expected to be developed through mining techniques.
In theUnited States, the Group’s 2010 production amounted to 55 kboe/d, compared to 16 kboe/d in 2009 and 6 kboe/d in 2008. This increase is due in particular to the acquisition of an interestcertain entities in the Barnett Shale Basin at year-end 2009.
• In the Gulf of Mexico:United Kingdom, Abu Dhabi and Oman (see notes b through h below).
– The deep-offshore Tahiti oil field (17%) started producing in May 2009 and rapidly reached plateau production of 135 kboe/d. Phase 2 was launched in September 2010 with the drilling of the first water injection well.
– Development of the first phase of the deep-offshore Chinook project (33.33%) is ongoing. The production test is scheduled to start in the first half of 2011.

launched in 2009 and the drilling of the first wells produced disappointing results. This campaign was disrupted due to the U.S. government’s moratorium on offshore drilling operations from May to October 2010 and may resume by mid-2011. In April 2009, TOTAL and Cobalt had signed an agreement related to the merger of their deep offshore acreage. Cobalt is operating the exploration phase.
– In April 2010, the Group disposed of its interests in the Matterhorn and Virgo operated fields.
• Following the signature of an agreement in December 2009, a joint venture was set up with Chesapeake to produce shale gas in the Barnett Shale Basin, Texas. As part of this joint venture, TOTAL holds 25% of Chesapeake’s portfolio in the Barnett Shale area. In 2010, 400 wells were drilled to increase gas production from 700 Mcf/d at the beginning of the year to 800 Mcf/d at year-end. Engineers from TOTAL are assigned to the teams led by Chesapeake.
• In January 2009, the Group closed the acquisition of a 50% interest in American Shale Oil LLC (AMSO) to develop oil shale technology. The pilot to develop this technology is underway in Colorado.
• In Alaska, TOTAL acquired in 2008 a 30% interest in several onshore exploration blocks known as “White Hills”. Most of them were relinquished in mid-2009 following disappointing results.
InMexico, TOTAL is conducting various studies in cooperation with state-owned PEMEX under a technical cooperation agreement signed in 2003 which is

In 2010, TOTAL’s production in South America was 179 kboe/d, representing 8% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 182 kboe/d in 2009 and 224 kboe/d in 2008.
InArgentina, where TOTAL has been present since 1978, the Group operates a quarter of the country’s gas production(1). The Group’s production was 83 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 80 kboe/d in 2009 and 81 kboe/d in 2008.
• In the Neuquén Basin, the connection of satellite discoveries and an increase in compression capacity resulted in the extension of the San Roque (24.7%, operator) and Aguada Pichana (27.3%, operator) fields’ plateau production.
In 2009, TOTAL and the Argentinean authorities signed an agreement extending the Aguada Pichana and San Roque concessions for ten years (from 2017 to 2027). As part of this agreement, 3D seismic was shot in late 2009 in the Las Carceles canyons area to allow the development of Aguada Pichana to continue westward.
In early 2011, TOTAL acquired interests in four licenses located in the Neuquén basin in order to assess their shale gas potential. The Group acquired 42.5% interests in and the operatorship of the Aguada de Castro and Pampa las Yeguas II licenses, a 40% interest in the Cerro Las Minas license and a 45% interest in the Cerro Partido license.
• In Tierra del Fuego, where the Group notably operates the offshore Carina and Aries fields (37.5%), gas production capacity increased from 424 Mcf/d to 565 Mcf/d in 2007 thanks to the installation of a fourth medium-pressure compressor to debottleneck the facilities. Work to increase the capacity of the pipeline that routes the gas to the region of Buenos Aires was completed in July 2010. This allowed the Group to increase production up to the maximum capacity of the processing plant during the southern winter.
InBolivia, the Group’s share of production, primarily gas, amounted to 20 kboe/d in 2010, stable compared to 2009, compared to 22 kboe/d in 2008. TOTAL holds interests in six licenses: three producing licenses — San Alberto and San Antonio (15%) and Block XX Tarija Oeste (41%); and three licenses in the exploration or appraisal phase — Aquio and Ipati (60%, operator) and Rio Hondo (50%).
• Production started up in February 2011 on the gas and condensates Itaú field located on Block XX Tarija Oeste; it is routed to the existing facilities of the neighboring San Alberto field. In 2010, TOTAL decreased its interest to 41% in Block XX Tarija Oeste after divesting 34% and is no longer the operator.
• In 2004, TOTAL discovered the Incahuasi gas field on the Ipati Block. Following the interpretation of the 3D seismic shot in 2008, an appraisal well is ongoing on the adjacent Aquio Block to confirm the extension of the discovery to the north. In 2010, TOTAL signed an agreement to dispose of 20% in the Aquio and Ipati licenses. Under this agreement, which is subject to the approval by the Bolivian authorities,

In 2008, TOTAL entered into a cooperation agreement with Gazprom and Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos to explore the Azero Block as part of a joint venture company. TOTAL and Gazprom will be partners with equal interests in this joint venture company.
InBrazil, TOTAL holds interests in three exploration blocks: Blocks BC-2 (41.2%) and BM-C-14 (50%) in the Campos Basin, and Block BM-S-54 (20%) in the Santos Basin.
• On Block BC-2, following seismic reprocessing, a pre-salt prospect was found under the Xerelete (formerly Curió) discovery made in 2001 at a water depth of 2,400 m.
• The southern extremity of Xelerete is located on Block BM-C-14, which is adjacent to Block BC-2. A unitization agreement was completed by the partners on both blocks. This agreement is subject to approval by the ANP (Agência National do Petroléo).
• In June 2010, the Group acquired a 20% interest in the BM-S-54 license. Preliminary assessment of data from the exploration drilling, which was completed in November 2010, was positive and a second drilling is expected in 2011.
InColombia, where TOTAL has been present since 1973, the Group’s production was 18 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 23 kboe/d in 2009 and 2008. Following the termination of the Santiago de Los Andes license, TOTAL relinquished the Cupiagua field, and its interest in the joint venture that ownsventure.

Africa

In 2011, TOTAL’s production in Africa was

659 kboe/d, representing 28% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 756 kboe/d in 2010 and

749 kboe/d in 2009.

InAlgeria, TOTAL’s production was 33 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 41 kboe/d in 2010 and 74 kboe/d in 2009.

This decline was due on the one hand to the termination of the Hamra contract in October 2009 and on the other hand to the divestment of TOTAL’s stake in CEPSA (48.83%), which was finalized in July 2011. The Group’s production now comes entirely from the TFT field (Tin Fouyé Tabenkort, 35%). TOTAL also has 37.75% and 47% stakes in the Timimoun and Ahnet gas development projects respectively.

On the TFT field, plateau production was maintained at 185 kboe/d. A 3D seismic survey covering 1,380 km2on the East and West portions of the field was completed in October 2011. The data is currently being processed and interpreted.

Launched in 2010 following approval of the development plan by the ALNAFT national agency, the basic engineering phase for the Timimoun project has been completed. Commercial gas production is scheduled to start up in 2016, with anticipated plateau production of 1.6 Bm3/y (160 Mcf/d).

Under the Ahnet project, the technical section of a development plan was submitted to the authorities in July 2011. Discussions are underway with the project partners and the authorities with regard to bringing the gas to market, with anticipated plateau production of 4 Bm3/y (400 Mcf/d).

InAngola, the Group’s production was 135 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 163 kboe/d in 2010 and 191 kboe/d in 2009. Production comes mainly from Blocks 0, 14 and 17. Highlights of the period 2009 to 2011 included several discoveries on Blocks 15/06 and 17/06, and progress on the major Pazflor and CLOV projects.

Deep-offshore Block 17 (40%, operator) is TOTAL’s principal asset in Angola. It is composed of four major zones: Girassol, Dalia, Pazflor and CLOV.

On the Girassol hub, production from the Girassol, Jasmim and Rosa fields was 220 kb/d in 2011.

On the Dalia hub, production was nearly 240 kb/d in 2011.

Production on Pazflor, the third hub consisting of the Perpetua, Zinia, Hortensia and Acacia fields, started up in August 2011 and reached 170 kb/d at the end of 2011. The production capacity of the FPSO is 220 kb/d.

The development of CLOV, the fourth hub, started in 2010 and will result in the installation of a fourth FPSO with a capacity of 160 kb/d. Start-up of production is expected in 2014.

On Block 14 (20%), production on the Tombua-Landana field started in August 2009 and adds to production from the Benguela-Belize-Lobito-Tomboco and Kuito fields.

On ultra-deep offshore Block 32 (30%, operator), appraisal is continuing and pre-development studies for a first production zone in the central/southeastern portion of the block are underway (Kaombo project).

On Block 15/06 (15%), a first development hub including the discoveries located on the northwest portion of the block has been identified. The development plan for the hub has been submitted to the authorities.

TOTAL has operations on exploration Blocks 33 (55%, operator), 17/06 (30%, operator), 25 (35%, operator), 39 (15%) and 40 (50%, operator).

TOTAL is also developing in LNG through the Angola LNG project (13.6%), which includes a gas liquefaction plant near Soyo. The plant will be supplied in particular by the gas associated with production from Blocks 0, 14, 15, 17 and 18. Construction work is ongoing and start-up is expected in 2012.

InCameroon, the Group’s production was 3 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 9 kboe/d in 2010 and 12 kboe/d in 2009. In April 2011, TOTAL finalized the divestment of its stake in its upstream subsidiary Total E&P Cameroon, a Cameroonian company in which the Group had a 75.8% holding. Since that time, the Group no longer owns any exploration and production assets in the country.

InCôte d’Ivoire, TOTAL is operator of the Cl-100 exploration license, with a 60% stake. The 2,000 km2 license is located approximately 100 km southeast of Abidjan in water depths ranging from 1,500 to 3,100 m. Exploration work started with a 3D seismic survey of over 1,000 km2 at the end of 2011, which completed the 3D coverage of the entire block. Initial exploratory drilling is planned for the end of 2012.

In February 2012, TOTAL acquired interests in three ultra-deepwater exploration licenses : CI-514 (54%, operator), CI-515 (45%) and CI-516 (45%). For the two last blocks TOTAL will become the operator upon the first commercial discovery. The work program includes a 3D seismic survey of the whole acreage and one well to be drilled on each block during the initial three-year exploration period.

InEgypt, TOTAL signed a concession agreement in February 2010 and became operator of Block 4 (East El Burullus Offshore) with a 90% stake. The license, located in the Nile Basin where a number of gas discoveries have been made, covers a 4-year initial exploration period and includes a commitment to carrying out 3D seismic work and drilling exploration wells. Following the 3,374 km2 3D seismic survey shot in 2011, drilling is under preparation.

InGabon, the Group’s production was 58 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 67 kboe/d in 2010 and 71 kboe/d in 2009, due to the natural decline of fields. The Group’s exploration and production activities in Gabon are mainly carried out

by Total Gabon(1), one of the Group’s oldest subsidiaries in sub-Saharan Africa.

Under the Anguille field redevelopment project, the AGM N platform, from which twenty-one additional development wells are to be drilled, left the Fos-sur-Mer shipyard at the end of 2011 for Gabon. The drilling campaign is expected to start at the beginning of the second quarter of 2012.

On the deep-offshore Diaba license (Total Gabon 63.75%, operator), following the 2D seismic survey that was performed in 2008 and 2009, a 6,000 km2 3D seismic was shot in 2010. This new seismic survey has been processed and the results are currently being interpreted.

Total Gabon farmed into the onshore Mutamba-Iroru (50%), DE7 (30%) and Nziembou (20%) exploration licenses in 2010. Following negative exploratory drilling on license DE7, Total Gabon relinquished the license in 2011. Studies are underway to shoot a seismic survey on the Nziembou license and drill an exploration well on the Mutamba license in 2012.

InKenya, TOTAL acquired in September 2011 a 40% stake in five offshore licenses in the Lamu Basin: L5, L7, L11a, L11b and L12. This transaction has been approved by the Kenyan authorities.

InLibya, the Group’s production was 20 kb/d in 2011, compared to 55 kb/d in 2010 and 60 kb/d in 2009. Events in the country forced the entire industry to stop production and freeze development. Depending on the field, production was suspended from late February or early March 2011. The new EPSA IV contracts came into effect in 2010. At that time, the contract zones in which TOTAL is a partner were redefined: 15, 16 & 32 (formerly C 137, 75%(2)), 70 & 87 (formerly C 17, 75%(2)), 129 & 130 (formerly NC 115, 30%(2)) and 130 & 131 (formerly NC 186, 24%(2)).

In offshore zones 15, 16 and 32, production resumed in September 2011 and reached its former level within a few days. Exploration work is expected to restart in 2012.

In onshore zones 70 and 87, production resumed in January 2012. It will gradually be ramped back up to plateau level.

In addition, the Group expects to continue the development of the Dahra and Garian fields.

In onshore zones 129, 130 and 131, production resumed in October 2011. A return to plateau level

production is expected during 2012. The seismic campaign started before the events is expected to resume by the end of 2012.

In the onshore Murzuk Basin, following a successful appraisal well drilled on the discovery made on a portion of Block NC 191 (100%(2), operator), a development plan was submitted to the authorities in 2009. After the interruption related to the events, discussions with the authorities have resumed.

InMadagascar, TOTAL acquired in 2008 a 60% stake in the Bemolanga license (operator), to appraise the oil sand accumulations it contains. The appraisal phase did not confirm the feasibility of the mining development of the resources. However, the contract was extended by one year until June 2012 to assess the conventional exploration potential of the license.

InMauritania, TOTAL has exploration operations on the Ta7 and Ta8 licenses (60%, operator), located in the Taoudenni Basin. In January 2012, TOTAL (90%, operator) acquired interests in two exploration licenses: Block C9 in ultra-deep offshore, and Block Ta29 onshore in the Taoudenni Basin.

On the Ta7 license, a 1,220 km 2D seismic survey was shot in 2011 and is being interpreted.

On the Ta8 license, drilling of the exploration well ended in 2010. Results from the well were disappointing.

On the C9 and Ta29 licenses, a seismic acquisition campaign is planned as the first phase of the exploration program.

InNigeria, the Group’s production was 287 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 301 kboe/d in 2010 and 235 kboe/d in 2009. TOTAL has been present in Nigeria since 1962. It operates seven production licenses (OML) out of the forty-four in which it has a stake, and two exploration licenses (OPL) out of the eight in which it has a stake. The Group is also active in LNG through Nigeria LNG and the Brass LNG project. With regard to recent changes in acreage:

In 2011, TOTAL (operator) increased its stake from 45.9% to 48.3% in Block 1 of the Joint Development Zone, administered jointly by Nigeria and São Tomé and Principe.

The divestment of 10% of the Group’s stakes held through the joint venture operated by Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Blocks OML 26 and 42 has been finalized.

(1)Total Gabon is a Gabonese company whose shares are listed on Euronext Paris. TOTAL holds 58.28%, the Republic of Gabon holds 25% and the public float is 16.72%.
(2)TOTAL’s stake in the foreign consortium.

TOTAL owns 15% of the Nigeria LNG gas liquefaction plant, located on Bonny Island, with an overall LNG capacity of 22.7 Mt/y. In 2011, the plant’s operating rate continued to increase and reached 81%, compared to 72% in 2010 and 50% in 2009, mainly due to the increased reliability of gas deliveries from the other suppliers.

Preliminary work continued in 2011 prior to launching the Brass LNG gas liquefaction plant project (17%), which calls for the construction of two trains, each with a capacity of 5 Mt/y. Calls for tenders for the construction of the plant and loading facilities are underway.

TOTAL continues its efforts to strengthen its ability to supply gas to the LNG projects in which it owns a stake and to meet the growing domestic demand for gas:

On the OML 136 license (40%), the positive results for the Agge 3 appraisal well confirmed the development potential of the license. Development studies are underway.

As part of its joint venture with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), TOTAL is also activecontinuing with the project to increase the production capacity of the OML 58 license (40%, operator) from 370 Mcf/d to 550 Mcf/d of gas in the country through its interest in CEPSA(1), which has operated the Caracara Block since 2008.

• On Cusiana, construction of the facilities intended to increase gas production capacity from 180 Mcf/d to 250 Mcf/d was completed in December 2010. In addition, start up of a project to extract 6 kb/d of LPG is expected in 2011.
• On Niscota, drilling of the Huron-1 well led to the discovery in 2009 of a gas and condensate field. A 3D seismic survey completed in 2010 aimed at determining the size of the discovery and the location of new appraisal wells. Drilling of an appraisal well is expected in 2011.
InFrench Guiana, TOTAL acquired a 25% interest in the Guyane Maritime license in December 2009. The acquisition is subject to approval by the French authorities. The license, located about 150 km off the coast, covers an area of approximately 32,000 km2 in water depths ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 meters. 3D seismic acquisition and interpretation work were carried out in 2009 and 2010. Drilling of an exploration well is expected in 2011.
InTrinidad & Tobago, where TOTAL has been present since 1996, the Group’s production was 3 kb/d in 2010, compared to 5 kb/d in 2009 and 6 kb/d in 2008. TOTAL holds a 30% interest in the offshore Angostura field located on Block 2C.2012. A second phase forof this project is expected to allow the development of other resources through these facilities.

On the OML 112/117 licenses (40%), TOTAL continued development studies in 2011 for the Ima gas reserves, is underway, with production expected to begin in the second quarter of 2011.field.

On the OML 102 license (40%, operator), TOTAL confirmed the launch of the Ofon phase 2 project in 2011 with the signing of the main construction contracts, with production start-up scheduled for 2014. In 2011 the Group also discovered Etisong North, located 15 km from the Ofon field, which is currently producing. This is the second exploration well on the Etisong hub after the Etisong Main discovery made in 2008. The exploration campaign is expected to continue with two additional wells in 2012.

On the OML 130 license (24%, operator), the Akpo field, which started up in March 2009, reached plateau production of 225 kboe/d in 2010. Production was limited between March and September 2011 by a technical issue on the engine of the gas reinjection compressor (liquids production of 160 kb/d instead of 190 kb/d). On this license, the Group is actively working on the Egina field, for which a development

InVenezuela, where TOTAL

plan has been present since 1980, the Group’s production was 55 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 54 kboe/d in 2009 and 92 kboe/d in 2008. TOTAL holds interests in PetroCedeño (30.323%), Yucal Placer (69.5%) and in the offshore exploration Block 4, located in the Plataforma Deltana (49%).

• Pursuant to the decision by the Venezuelan authorities to terminate all operating contracts signed in the 1990s, the Sincor association in which TOTAL held an interest was transformed into a mixed public/private company: PetroCedeño. Under this agreement that led to the transfer of operatorship to PetroCedeño, TOTAL’s interest in the project decreased from 47% to 30.323% and PDVSA’s interest increased to 60%. The transformation process was completed in February 2008.
PDVSA agreed to compensate TOTAL for the reduction of its interest in Sincor by assuming $326 million of debt and by paying, mostly in crude oil, $834 million. The compensation process was completed in 2009.
• On Block 4, the exploration campaign, which involved three wells, was completed in 2007. In 2008, the authorities agreed to let the partners retain the Cocuina discovery zone (lots B and F) and relinquish the rest of the block.
• In early 2008, TOTAL signed two agreements for joint studies with PDVSA on the Junin 10 Block, in the Orinoco Belt.
Asia-Pacific
In 2010, TOTAL’s production in the Asia-Pacific region was 248 kboe/d, representing 10% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 251 kboe/d in 2009 and 246 kboe/d in 2008.
InAustralia, where TOTAL has held leasehold rights since 2005, the Group owns 24% of the Ichthys project, 27.5% of the GLNG project and ten offshore exploration licenses,

including four that it operates, off the northwest coast in the Browse, Vulcan and Bonaparte Basins. In 2010, the Group produced 1 kboe/d due to its interest in GLNG.
• FEED studies for the development of the gas and condensates Ichthys field located in the Browse Basin are ongoing. The studies launched in 2009 include a floating platform designed for gas production, treatment and export, an FPSO to stabilize and export condensates, an 885 km gas pipeline and a liquefaction plant located in Darwin.
Production capacity is expected to be 8.4 Mt/y of LNG and 1.6 Mt/y of LPG as well as production capacity of 100 kb/d of condensates. The operator plans astart-up of the field at year-end 2016.
• In late 2010, TOTAL acquired a 20% interest in the GLNG project, followed by an additional 7.5% interest for which the acquisition was closed in March 2011. This integrated gas production, transport and liquefaction project is based on the development of coal gas from the Fairview, Roma, Scotia and Arcadia fields. The final investment decision was made in January 2011 andstart-up is expected in 2015. LNG production is expected to eventually reach 7.2 Mt/y.
• Major seismic acquisition activity occurred in 2008 on the four exploration licenses operated by TOTAL, followed by the interpretation of data in 2009. A drilling campaign involving two wells started in early 2011 on the WA403 license (60%, operator).
• In 2010, following unsuccessful results, TOTAL relinquished the exploration licenses located in the Carnarvon Basin.
InBrunei, where TOTAL has been present since 1986, the Group operates the offshore Maharaja Lela Jamalulalam gas and condensates field located on Block B (37.5%). The Group’s production was 14 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 12 kboe/d in 2009 and 14 kboe/d in 2008. The gas is delivered to the Brunei LNG liquefaction plant.
On Block B, a new drilling campaign started in July 2009 that includes a development well, which started production in April 2010, and two exploration wells drilled in 2010 in the southern portion of the field that discovered oil and gas. Development studies for these new reserves are underway.
On deep-offshore exploration Block CA1 (54%, operator), formerly Block J, exploration operations that had been suspended since May 2003 due to a border dispute between Brunei and Malaysia resumed in September 2010. Both countries reached a border agreement in 2009 that led to adapting the production sharing agreement signed in 2003, resulting in two new partners selectedapproved by the government of Malaysia farming into the exploration block. TOTAL’s share decreased to 54% from 60%Nigerian authorities. Calls for tender are underway and TOTAL remains the operator. A drilling campaign involving several wellsconstruction is expected to start in the second half of 2011.
InChina, the Group is present on the South Sulige Block, located in the Ordos Basin, in the Inner Mongolia province. Appraisal work was conducted on this block between 2006 and 2008, in particular seismic acquisition, the drilling of four new wells and tests on existing wells. The development plan proposed by TOTAL in January 2010, in partnership with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), was then adjusted to take advantage of the synergies achieved with the development of CNPC-operated Great Sulige. It was adopted in November 2010 by both partners and the approval process with the authorities is ongoing.
Both partners agreed that TOTAL’s share in cofinancing the development would be 49% and CNPC’s share would be 51% (operator). The development will be operated by CNPC where a number of specialists from TOTAL will be assigned.
InIndonesia, TOTAL has been present since 1968 with production of 178 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 190 kboe/d in 2009 and 177 kboe/d in 2008.
TOTAL’s operations in Indonesia are primarily concentrated on the Mahakam permit (50%, operator), which covers several gas fields, including Peciko and Tunu. TOTAL also holds an interest in the Sisi-Nubi gas field (47.9%, operator). TOTAL delivers most of its natural gas production to the Bontang LNG plant operated by the Indonesian company PT Badak. The overall capacity of the eight liquefaction trains of the Bontang plant is 22 Mt/y.
In 2010, gas production operated by TOTAL amounted to 2,488 Mcf/d. The gas operated and delivered by TOTAL accounted for nearly 80% of Bontang LNG’s supply. In addition to gas production, operated condensates and oil production from the Handil and Bekapai fields amounted to 49 kb/d and 23 kb/d, respectively.
2012.

• On the Mahakam permit:

On the OML 138 license (20%, operator), TOTAL finalized the development of the Usan offshore project (180 kb/d, production capacity) with the drilling of production wells, installation of sub-sea equipment and connection to the FPSO. Production started up in February 2012.

– Drilling of additional wells on the Tunu field continued in 2010 as part of the twelfth and thirteenth development phases. The 3D seismic campaign on the central/southeastern portion of the field was completed in 2010 and drilling of development wells to discover shallow gas reservoir started in 2010.

Due to the relative calm with regard to safety in the Niger Delta region in 2011, it has been possible to maintain oil production operated by the SPDC joint venture, in which TOTAL has a 10% stake, at close to 2010 levels. The SPDC joint venture’s gas production was higher in 2011 as a result of the contribution of the Gbaran-Ubie project, which started up in 2010.

InUganda, TOTAL finalized in February 2012 its farm-in for an interest of 33.33%, which covers the EA-1 and EA-2 licenses as well as the new Kanywataba license and the Kingfisher production license. All of these licenses are located in the Lake Albert region, where oil resources have already been discovered and a substantial potential remains to be explored.

TOTAL will be the operator of EA-1 and partner on the other licenses. TOTAL and its partners Tullow and CNOOC are embarking on an ambitious exploration and appraisal program from 2012 onwards. First priority will be given to the exploration of Kanywataba and EA-1 licenses west of the Nile.

start-up of a new platform (phase 5) in late 2008, a new phase of drilling operations (phase 7) started in 2009 and continued in 2010. New low-pressure compression capacities (phase 6) were commissioned in May 2010.

– On Bekapai, debottlenecking operations to increase gas production were completed in July 2010.
– Development of the South Mahakam permit continued with the award of the Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract (EPC) in August 2010 to develop the Stupa, West Stupa and East Mandu discoveries.Start-up of production is expected in early 2013.
• On the Sisi-Nubi field, which began production in 2007, drilling operations continue. The gas from Sisi-Nubi is produced through Tunu’s processing facilities.
• In 2008, a seismic campaign was conducted on the Southeast Mahakam exploration block (50%, operator), located in the Mahakam Delta. Drilling of the first exploration well (Trekulu 1) was completed in late 2010.
• In May 2010, the Group acquired a 24.5% interest in two exploration blocks — Arafura and Amborip VI — located in the Arafura sea. Drilling of a first well started in mid-November 2010 on the Amborip VI license, which was followed by a second drilling that started in early 2011 on the Arafura license.
• In October 2010, the Group closed the acquisition of a 15% interest in the Sebuku license where the Ruby gas discovery is located, the development of which was launched in mid-February 2011 with targeted production of 100 Mcf/d of natural gas and expectedstart-up in 2013.
In October 2010, the Group signed an agreement with the consortium Nusantara Regas (Pertamina-PGN) for the delivery of 11.75 Mt of LNG over the period2012-2022 to a re-gasification terminal located near Jakarta.
The Heads of Agreement that TOTAL, Inpex and state-owned Pertamina signed in 2009 with a consortium of LNG buyers in Japan (Western Buyers) came into effect in March 2010. As part of this agreement, the Bontang LNG plant is expected to deliver 25 Mt of LNG to Japan for the period2011-2020. The gas supplied will come from the Mahakam permit.
InMalaysia, TOTAL signed a production sharing contract in 2008 with state-owned Petronas for the offshore exploration Blocks PM303, which TOTAL relinquished in early 2011, and PM324 (70%, operator).
A drilling campaign in high pressure/high temperature conditions is expected to be launched in the second half of 2011 on Block PM324.
TOTAL also signed in November 2010 a new production and sharing agreement with Petronas for the deep offshore exploration Block SK 317 B (85%, operator) located off the state of Sarawak.
InMyanmar, TOTAL operates the Yadana field (31.2%). Located on offshore Blocks M5 and M6, this field produces gas that is delivered mainly to PTT (the Thai state-owned company) to be used in Thai power plants. The Yadana field also supplies the domestic market via a land pipeline and, since June 2010, via asub-sea pipeline built and operated by Myanmar’s state-owned company MOGE.
The Group’s production was 14 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 13 kboe/d in 2009 and 14 kboe/d in 2008.
InThailand, the Group’s production was 41 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 36 kboe/d in 2009 and 41 kboe/d in 2008. The rise in production in 2010 is the result of sustained gas demand, driven by economic growth in the country. The Group’s main asset is the offshore Bongkot gas and condensates field (33.3%). PTT purchases all of the natural gas and condensates production.
• On the northern portion of the Bongkot field, the 3F (three wellhead platforms) and 3G (two platforms) development phases came onstream in 2008 and 2009, respectively. New investments allow gas demand to be met and plateau production to be maintained:
– the three platforms from the 3H development phase were installed in 2010 and production started up in early 2011;
– phase 3J (two platforms) was launched in late 2010; and
– additional low-pressure compressors have been installed to increase gas production.
• The southern portion of the field (Great Bongkot South) is also being developed in several phases. This development is designed to include a processing platform, a residential platform and thirteen production platforms. Construction of the facilities, which began in 2009, accelerated in 2010 and production is expected to start up in early 2012.
In 2009, three successful exploration wells were drilled on Bongkot that are expected to be developed subsequently to maintain plateau production. In 2010, an exploration well was drilled on Bongkot North and a second well was drilled on Block G12-48 (33.3%), which neighbors the


25


Bongkot field. The positive results from both wells are under interpretation.
InVietnam, TOTAL holds a 35% interest in the production sharing contract for the offshore 15-1/05 exploration block following an agreement signed in 2007 with PetroVietnam. A 1,600 km2 3D seismic survey was shot in the summer of 2008 on this block. Two oil discoveries were made on the southern portion of the block, one in November 2009 and the other in October 2010. A new drilling campaign that involves five wells started in November 2010.
In 2009, TOTAL and PetroVietnam signed a production sharing agreement for Blocks DBSCL-02 and DBSCL-03. The onshore blocks, located in the Mekong Delta region, are held by TOTAL (75%, operator) and PetroVietnam (25%). A first 2D seismic survey was shot between November 2009 and April 2010.
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)
In 2010, TOTAL’s production in the CIS was 23 kboe/d, representing 1% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 24 kboe/d in 2009 and 26 kboe/d in 2008.
InAzerbaijan, TOTAL has been present since 1996 with production of 13 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 12 kboe/d in 2009 and 18 kboe/d in 2008. The Group’s production is focused on the Shah Deniz field (10%). TOTAL holds a 10% interest in South Caucasus Pipeline Company, owner of the SCP (South Caucasus Pipeline) gas pipeline that transports the gas produced in Shah Deniz to the Turkish and Georgian markets. TOTAL also holds a 5% interest in BTC Co., owner of the BTC (Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan) oil pipeline, which connects Baku and the Mediterranean Sea.
• Gas deliveries to Turkey and Georgia from the Shah Deniz field continued throughout 2010, at a lower pace for Turkey due to weaker demand. In 2010, SOCAR, the Azerbaijan state-owned company, took gas quantities superior to those provided for by the agreement.
An agreement was made with Botas, a Turkish state-owned company, to revise the price of gas sold to Turkey as part of Shah Deniz Phase 1, applicable with retroactive effect from April 15, 2008.
Development studies and business negotiations for the sale of additional gas needed to launch a second development phase in Shah Deniz continued in 2010. SOCAR and Botas signed in June 2010 a Memorandum of Understanding for the sale of additional gas volumes and the transfer conditions for volumes intended for the European market. This agreement is expected to allow FEED studies to start in 2011 for the second phase.
• On the BTC oil pipeline, notably used to transport the condensates produced at Shah Deniz, equipment was installed in 2009 to inject additives to reduce drag. This resulted in the oil pipeline capacity increasing from 1 Mb/d to 1.2 Mb/d.
In 2009, TOTAL and SOCAR signed an exploration, development and production sharing agreement for a license located on the Absheron block in the Caspian Sea. TOTAL (40%) is the operator during the exploration phase and a joint operating company will manage operations during the development phase. Drilling of an exploratory well started in early 2011.
InKazakhstan, TOTAL has held since 1992 an interest in the North Caspian license that covers notably the Kashagan field where the substantial reserves may eventually allow production to reach more than 1 Mb/d (in 100%).
The Kashagan project is expected to be developed in several phases. The development plan for the first phase (300 kb/d) was approved in February 2004 by the Kazakh authorities, allowing work to begin on the field. Drilling of development wells, which began in 2004, continued in 2010. The consortium continues to target first commercial production by year-end 2012.
In October 2008, the members of the North Caspian Sea Production Sharing Agreement (NCSPSA) consortium and the Kazakh authorities signed agreements to end the disagreement that began in August 2007. Their implementation led to a reduction of TOTAL’s share in NCSPSA from 18.52% to 16.81%. The operating structure was reconfigured and the North Caspian Operating Company (NCOC), a joint operating company, was entrusted with the operatorship in January 2009. NCOC supervises and coordinates NCSPSA’s operations.
InRussia, where TOTAL has been present since 1989, the Group’s production was 10 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 12 kboe/d in 2009 and 8 kboe/d in 2008. Production comes mainly from the Kharyaga field (40%, operator).
• In 2007, TOTAL and Gazprom signed an agreement for the first phase of development on the giant Shtokman gas and condensates field, located in the Barents Sea. Under this agreement, Shtokman Development AG (TOTAL, 25%) was created in 2008 to design, build, finance and operate this first development phase whose overall production capacity is expected to be 23.7 Bm3/y (0.4 Mboe/d). Engineering studies are underway for the portion of the project that will allow the transport of gas by pipeline through the Gazprom network (offshore development, gas pipeline and onshore gas and condensates processing facilities — Teriberka site),


26


with a final investment decision expected in 2011, and for the LNG part of the project that will allow the export of 7.5 Mt/y of LNG from a new harbor located in Teriberka, representing approximately half of the gas produced by the first development phase.
• In December 2009, TOTAL closed the acquisition from Novatek of a 49% interest in Terneftegas, which holds a development and production license on the onshore Termokarstovoye field. An appraisal well was drilled in 2010, the results of which are expected to lead to a final investment decision by year-end 2011.
• On the Kharyaga field, work related to the development plan of phase 3 is ongoing. This development plan is intended to maintain plateau production at the30 kboe/d (in 100%) level reached in late 2009. In December 2009, TOTAL signed an agreement, effective January 1, 2010, to sell 10% of the field to state-owned Zarubezhneft, and decreased its interest to 40%.
• In October 2009, TOTAL signed an agreement setting forth the principles of a partnership with KazMunaiGas (KMG) for the development of the Khvalynskoye gas and condensates field, located offshore in the Caspian Sea on the border between Kazakhstan and Russia, under Russian jurisdiction. Gas production is expected to be transported to Russia. Pursuant to this agreement, TOTAL is planning to acquire a 17% interest in KMG’s share.
• On March 2, 2011, TOTAL and Novatek signed two agreements in principle providing for:
–  TOTAL becoming the main international partner on the Yamal LNG project with a 20% interest, and Novatek holding a 51% interest in the project. As part of the agreement, the transaction is expected to be closed by July 2011.
–  TOTAL taking a 12.08% interest in Novatek with both parties intending that TOTAL increases its interest to 15% within 12 months and to 19.40% within 36 months.
Europe
In 2010, TOTAL’s production in Europe was 580 kboe/d, representing 24% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 613 kboe/d in 2009 and 616 kboe/d in 2008.
InDenmark, TOTAL was awarded in June 2010 an 80% interest in and the operatorship for licenses 1/10 (Nordjylland) and 2/10 (Frederoskilde), following the approval by the Danish Energy Agency. These onshore licenses cover areas of 3,000 km2 and 2,300 km2, respectively, and are expected to be appraised for shale gas.
InFrance, the Group’s production was 21 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 24 kboe/d in 2009 and 25 kboe/d in 2008. TOTAL’s major assets are the Lacq (100%) and Meillon (100%) gas fields, located in the southwest part of the country.
On the Lacq field, operated since 1957, a carbon capture and storage pilot was commissioned in January 2010. In connection with this project, a boiler has been modified to operate in an oxy-fuel combustion environment and the carbon dioxide emitted is captured and re-injected in the depleted Rousse field. As part of the Group’s sustainable development policy, this project will allow the Group to assess one of the technological possibilities for reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
In 2010, TOTAL was awarded the Montélimar (100%) license to assess the shale gas potential of the area once authorizations to operate are given.
InItaly, the Tempa Rossa field (50%, operator), discovered in 1989 and located on the unitized Gorgoglione concession (Basilicate region), is one of TOTAL’s principal assets in the country.
Site preparation work started in early August 2008, but the proceedings initiated by the Prosecutor of the Potenza Court against Total Italia led to a freeze in the preparation work. New calls for tenders have been launched related to certain contracts that had been cancelled. Drilling of the Gorgoglione 2 appraisal well that started in May 2010 is ongoing. The partners on Tempa Rossa are expected to make the final investment decision in 2011 for this project that has an expected capacity of 55 kboe/d. The extension plan for the Tarente refinery export system, needed for the development of the Tempa Rossa field, was submitted to the Italian authorities in May 2010 for an approval expected in 2011.Start-up of production is currently expected in 2015.
InNorway, where the Group has been present since the mid-1960s, TOTAL holds interests in seventy-eight production licenses on the Norwegian continental shelf, fifteen of which it operates. Norway is the largest single-country contributor to the Group’s production, with volumes of 310 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 327 kboe/d in 2009 and 334 kboe/d in 2008.
• In the Norwegian North Sea, production was 226 kboe/d in 2010. The most substantial contribution to production, for the most part non-operated, comes from the Greater Ekofisk Area (Ekofisk, Eldfisk, Embla, etc.), located in the south.


27


The Greater Hild Area (Hild East, Central, West, etc.) is located in the north.
–  Several projects are ongoing or are under study in the Greater Ekofisk Area, where the Group has a 39.9% participation in the Ekofisk and Eldfisk fields. The Ekofisk South and Eldfisk 2 projects are expected to be launched in 2011 after receiving the approval from the Norwegian authorities.
–  In 2010, the Group sold its interests in the Valhall/Hod fields.
–  On the Greater Hild Area, the Group holds a 49% interest (operator). The development scheme was selected at year-end 2010. The project is expected to be approved in 2011 and production is scheduled to start up in 2016.
–  On Frigg, decommissioning is completed.
• In the Norwegian Sea, the Haltenbanken area includes the Tyrihans (23.2%), Mikkel (7.7%) and Kristin (6%) fields as well as the Åsgard (7.7%) field and its satellites Yttergryta (24.5%) and Morvin (6%). Morvin started up in August 2010 as planned, with two producing wells. In 2010, the Group’s production in the Haltenbanken area was 61 kboe/d.
• In the Barents Sea, LNG production on Snøhvit (18.4%) started in 2007. This project includes development of the natural gas fields, Snøhvit, Albatross and Askeladd, as well as the construction of the associated liquefaction facilities. Due to design problems, the plant experienced reduced capacity during thestart-up phase. A number of maintenance turnarounds were scheduled to fix the issue and the plant is now operating at its design capacity (4.2 Mt/y).
Between 2008 and 2010, exploration and appraisal work was carried out on various licenses. In the Norwegian North Sea, the oil discovery on Dagny (PL 048, 21.8%) and the Pan/Pandora (PL 120, 11%) discovery, made in 2008, substantially increased the potential of the Sleipner and Visund areas, respectively. Pan/Pandora is to be developed as a fast track satellite. The development project is expected to be launched in 2011 after receipt of approval from the Norwegian authorities. The Dagny project is scheduled for approval in 2012.
A number of discoveries were made in 2009, in particular on Beta Vest (PL 046, 10%) near Sleipner, Katla (PL 104, 10%), located south of Oseberg, and Vigdis North East (PL 089, 5.6%), located south of Snorre. Katla and Vigdis North East are expected to be developed as fast track satellites, with the approval of the projects by the partners on both licenses planned for the first half of 2011. In the Central North Sea, TOTAL (40% operator) made a gas and condensate discovery in 2010 on the David structure (PL 102C -Heimdal area). The structure could be developed through a tie-back to Heimdal via Skirne-Byggve. In the Barents Sea, TOTAL was awarded in 2009 a new exploration license — PL 535 (40%) — during the twentieth licensing round. On this license, a 3D seismic acquisition was completed in 2009 and drilling is expected to begin in 2011. In 2011, TOTAL was awarded four new exploration licenses, including one for which TOTAL is operator, during the 2010 APA (Awards in Predefined Areas).
In theNetherlands, TOTAL has been active in natural gas exploration and production since 1964 and currently holds twenty-four offshore production permits, including twenty that it operates, and an offshore exploration permit, E17c (16.92%) awarded in 2008. In 2010, the Group’s share of production amounted to 42 kboe/d, compared to45 kboe/d in 2009 and 44 kboe/d in 2008. In 2008, TOTAL acquired Goal Petroleum (Netherlands) B.V.
• On the K5F field (40.39%, operator), production began in 2008. This project is comprised of twosub-sea wells connected to the existing production and transport facilities. K5F is the first project in the world to use only electrically drivensub-sea well heads and systems.
• Development of the K5CU project (49%, operator) was launched in 2009 and production started up in early 2011. This development includes four wells supported by a platform that has been installed in September 2010 and is connected to the K5A platform by a 15 km gas pipeline.
In late 2010, TOTAL disposed of 18.19% of its shares in the NOGAT gas pipeline and decreased its interest to 5%.
In theUnited Kingdom, TOTAL has been present since 1962 with production in 2010 of 207 kboe/d, compared to 217 kboe/d in 2009 and 213 kboe/d in 2008. 86% of this production comes from operated fields located in two major zones: the Alwyn zone in the northern North Sea, and the Elgin/Franklin zone in the Central Graben.
• On the Alwyn zone,start-up of satellite fields or new reservoir compartments allowed production to be maintained. The processing and compressing capacities of the Alwyn platform increased from 530 Mcf/d to 575 Mcf/d during the summer of 2008 planned shutdown for maintenance.
The N52 well drilled on Alwyn (100%) in a new compartment of the Statfjord reservoir came onstream in February 2010 with initial flow of 15 kboe/d (gas and condensates).


28


The Jura field (100%), discovered in late 2006, started production in May 2008 through twosub-sea wells connected to the oil pipeline linking Forvie North and Alwyn. The production capacity of this field is 50 kboe/d (gas and condensates).
Development studies were completed on Islay (100%), a second gas and condensates discovery made in 2008 and located in a faulted panel immediately east of Jura, and the development was approved in July 2010.Start-up of production is expected in the second half of 2011 with a production capacity of 15 kboe/d.
In late 2008, TOTAL increased its interest in the Otter field from 54.3% to 81%. An agreement to dispose of this interest was reached in 2010 and is expected to be completed under two phases between 2011 and 2012.
The development of the Elgin (35.8%) and Franklin fields (35.8%), in production since 2001, contributed substantially to the Group’s operations in the United Kingdom. On the Elgin field, the infill well drilled between November 2008 and September 2009 came onstream in October 2009 with production of 18 kboe/d. Drilling of a second infill well was completed in 2010 with production of 12 kboe/d starting up in May. Drilling of such a well in a high pressure/high temperature highly depleted field is a significant technical milestone.
Additional development of West Franklin through a second phase (drilling of three additional wells and installation of a new platform connected to Elgin) was approved in November 2010. This phase is expected to result in the development of approximately 85 Mboe in 100%.Start-up of production is expected at year-end 2013.
As part of an agreement signed in 2005, TOTAL acquired a 25% interest in two blocks located near Elgin and Franklin by drilling an appraisal well on the Kessog structure. This interest was increased to 50% in 2009.
• In the West of Shetland area, TOTAL increased its interest to 80% in the Laggan and Tormore fields in early 2010.
The final investment decision for the Laggan/Tormore project was made in March 2010 and commercial production is scheduled to start in 2014 with an expected capacity of 90 kboe/d. The joint development scheme selected by TOTAL and its partner includessub-sea production facilities and off-gas treatment (gas and condensates) at a plant located near the Sullom Voe terminal in the Shetland Islands. The gas would then be exported to the Saint-Fergus terminal via a new pipeline connected to the Frigg pipeline (FUKA).
In 2010, the Group’s interest in the P967 license (operator), which includes the Tobermory gas discovery, increased to 50% from 43.75%. This license is located north of Laggan/Tormore.
In early 2011, a gas and condensate discovery was made on the Edradour license (75%, operator).
TOTAL holds interests in ten assets operated by third parties, the most important in terms of reserves being the Bruce (43.25%) and Alba (12.65%) fields. The Group disposed of its interest in the Nelson field (11.5%) in 2010.
Middle East
In 2010, TOTAL’s production in the Middle East was 527 kboe/d, representing 22% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 438 kboe/d in 2009 and 432 kboe/d in 2008.
In theUnited Arab Emirates, where TOTAL has been present since

U.A.E.

1939 the Group’s production in 2010 was 222 kboe/d, compared to 214 kboe/d in 2009 and 243 kboe/d in 2008. The changes that have been recorded since 2008 are mainly due to the implementation of OPEC quotas.

Africa

In 2011, TOTAL’s production in Africa was

659 kboe/d, representing 28% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 756 kboe/d in 2010 and

749 kboe/d in 2009.

InAlgeria, TOTAL’s production was 33 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 41 kboe/d in 2010 and 74 kboe/d in 2009.

This decline was due on the one hand to the termination of the Hamra contract in October 2009 and on the other hand to the divestment of TOTAL’s stake in CEPSA (48.83%), which was finalized in July 2011. The Group’s production now comes entirely from the TFT field (Tin Fouyé Tabenkort, 35%). TOTAL also has 37.75% and 47% stakes in the Timimoun and Ahnet gas development projects respectively.

On the TFT field, plateau production was maintained at 185 kboe/d. A 3D seismic survey covering 1,380 km2on the East and West portions of the field was completed in October 2011. The data is currently being processed and interpreted.

Launched in 2010 following approval of the development plan by the ALNAFT national agency, the basic engineering phase for the Timimoun project has been completed. Commercial gas production is scheduled to start up in 2016, with anticipated plateau production of 1.6 Bm3/y (160 Mcf/d).

Under the Ahnet project, the technical section of a development plan was submitted to the authorities in July 2011. Discussions are underway with the project partners and the authorities with regard to bringing the gas to market, with anticipated plateau production of 4 Bm3/y (400 Mcf/d).

InAngola, the Group’s production was 135 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 163 kboe/d in 2010 and 191 kboe/d in 2009. Production comes mainly from Blocks 0, 14 and 17. Highlights of the period 2009 to 2011 included several discoveries on Blocks 15/06 and 17/06, and progress on the major Pazflor and CLOV projects.

Deep-offshore Block 17 (40%, operator) is TOTAL’s principal asset in Angola. It is composed of four major zones: Girassol, Dalia, Pazflor and CLOV.

On the Girassol hub, production from the Girassol, Jasmim and Rosa fields was 220 kb/d in 2011.

On the Dalia hub, production was nearly 240 kb/d in 2011.

Production on Pazflor, the third hub consisting of the Perpetua, Zinia, Hortensia and Acacia fields, started up in August 2011 and reached 170 kb/d at the end of 2011. The production capacity of the FPSO is 220 kb/d.

The development of CLOV, the fourth hub, started in 2010 and will result in the installation of a fourth FPSO with a capacity of 160 kb/d. Start-up of production is expected in 2014.

On Block 14 (20%), production on the Tombua-Landana field started in August 2009 and adds to production from the Benguela-Belize-Lobito-Tomboco and Kuito fields.

On ultra-deep offshore Block 32 (30%, operator), appraisal is continuing and pre-development studies for a first production zone in the central/southeastern portion of the block are underway (Kaombo project).

On Block 15/06 (15%), a first development hub including the discoveries located on the northwest portion of the block has been identified. The development plan for the hub has been submitted to the authorities.

TOTAL has operations on exploration Blocks 33 (55%, operator), 17/06 (30%, operator), 25 (35%, operator), 39 (15%) and 40 (50%, operator).

TOTAL is also developing in LNG through the Angola LNG project (13.6%), which includes a gas liquefaction plant near Soyo. The plant will be supplied in particular by the gas associated with production from Blocks 0, 14, 15, 17 and 18. Construction work is ongoing and start-up is expected in 2012.

InCameroon, the Group’s production was 3 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 9 kboe/d in 2010 and 12 kboe/d in 2009. In April 2011, TOTAL finalized the divestment of its stake in its upstream subsidiary Total E&P Cameroon, a Cameroonian company in which the Group had a 75.8% holding. Since that time, the Group no longer owns any exploration and production assets in the country.

InCôte d’Ivoire, TOTAL is operator of the Cl-100 exploration license, with a 60% stake. The 2,000 km2 license is located approximately 100 km southeast of Abidjan in water depths ranging from 1,500 to 3,100 m. Exploration work started with a 3D seismic survey of over 1,000 km2 at the end of 2011, which completed the 3D coverage of the entire block. Initial exploratory drilling is planned for the end of 2012.

In February 2012, TOTAL acquired interests in three ultra-deepwater exploration licenses : CI-514 (54%, operator), CI-515 (45%) and CI-516 (45%). For the two last blocks TOTAL will become the operator upon the first commercial discovery. The work program includes a 3D seismic survey of the whole acreage and one well to be drilled on each block during the initial three-year exploration period.

InEgypt, TOTAL signed a concession agreement in February 2010 and became operator of Block 4 (East El Burullus Offshore) with a 90% stake. The license, located in the Nile Basin where a number of gas discoveries have been made, covers a 4-year initial exploration period and includes a commitment to carrying out 3D seismic work and drilling exploration wells. Following the 3,374 km2 3D seismic survey shot in 2011, drilling is under preparation.

InGabon, the Group’s production was 58 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 67 kboe/d in 2010 and 71 kboe/d in 2009, due to the natural decline of fields. The Group’s exploration and production activities in Gabon are mainly carried out

by Total Gabon(1), one of the Group’s oldest subsidiaries in sub-Saharan Africa.

Under the Anguille field redevelopment project, the AGM N platform, from which twenty-one additional development wells are to be drilled, left the Fos-sur-Mer shipyard at the end of 2011 for Gabon. The drilling campaign is expected to start at the beginning of the second quarter of 2012.

On the deep-offshore Diaba license (Total Gabon 63.75%, operator), following the 2D seismic survey that was performed in 2008 and 2009, a 6,000 km2 3D seismic was shot in 2010. This new seismic survey has been processed and the results are currently being interpreted.

Total Gabon farmed into the onshore Mutamba-Iroru (50%), DE7 (30%) and Nziembou (20%) exploration licenses in 2010. Following negative exploratory drilling on license DE7, Total Gabon relinquished the license in 2011. Studies are underway to shoot a seismic survey on the Nziembou license and drill an exploration well on the Mutamba license in 2012.

InKenya, TOTAL acquired in September 2011 a 40% stake in five offshore licenses in the Lamu Basin: L5, L7, L11a, L11b and L12. This transaction has been approved by the Kenyan authorities.

InLibya, the Group’s production was 20 kb/d in 2011, compared to 55 kb/d in 2010 and 60 kb/d in 2009. Events in the country forced the entire industry to stop production and freeze development. Depending on the field, production was suspended from late February or early March 2011. The new EPSA IV contracts came into effect in 2010. At that time, the contract zones in which TOTAL is a partner were redefined: 15, 16 & 32 (formerly C 137, 75%(2)), 70 & 87 (formerly C 17, 75%(2)), 129 & 130 (formerly NC 115, 30%(2)) and 130 & 131 (formerly NC 186, 24%(2)).

In offshore zones 15, 16 and 32, production resumed in September 2011 and reached its former level within a few days. Exploration work is expected to restart in 2012.

In onshore zones 70 and 87, production resumed in January 2012. It will gradually be ramped back up to plateau level.

In addition, the Group expects to continue the development of the Dahra and Garian fields.

In onshore zones 129, 130 and 131, production resumed in October 2011. A return to plateau level

production is expected during 2012. The seismic campaign started before the events is expected to resume by the end of 2012.

In the onshore Murzuk Basin, following a successful appraisal well drilled on the discovery made on a portion of Block NC 191 (100%(2), operator), a development plan was submitted to the authorities in 2009. After the interruption related to the events, discussions with the authorities have resumed.

InMadagascar, TOTAL acquired in 2008 a 60% stake in the Bemolanga license (operator), to appraise the oil sand accumulations it contains. The appraisal phase did not confirm the feasibility of the mining development of the resources. However, the contract was extended by one year until June 2012 to assess the conventional exploration potential of the license.

InMauritania, TOTAL has exploration operations on the Ta7 and Ta8 licenses (60%, operator), located in the Taoudenni Basin. In January 2012, TOTAL (90%, operator) acquired interests in two exploration licenses: Block C9 in ultra-deep offshore, and Block Ta29 onshore in the Taoudenni Basin.

On the Ta7 license, a 1,220 km 2D seismic survey was shot in 2011 and is being interpreted.

On the Ta8 license, drilling of the exploration well ended in 2010. Results from the well were disappointing.

On the C9 and Ta29 licenses, a seismic acquisition campaign is planned as the first phase of the exploration program.

InNigeria, the Group’s production was 287 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 301 kboe/d in 2010 and 235 kboe/d in 2009. TOTAL has been present in Nigeria since 1962. It operates seven production licenses (OML) out of the forty-four in which it has a stake, and two exploration licenses (OPL) out of the eight in which it has a stake. The Group is also active in LNG through Nigeria LNG and the Brass LNG project. With regard to recent changes in acreage:

In 2011, TOTAL (operator) increased its stake from 45.9% to 48.3% in Block 1 of the Joint Development Zone, administered jointly by Nigeria and São Tomé and Principe.

The divestment of 10% of the Group’s stakes held through the joint venture operated by Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Blocks OML 26 and 42 has been finalized.

(1)Total Gabon is a Gabonese company whose shares are listed on Euronext Paris. TOTAL holds 58.28%, the Republic of Gabon holds 25% and the public float is 16.72%.
(2)TOTAL’s stake in Abu Dhabi Gas Industries (GASCO)the foreign consortium.

TOTAL owns 15% of the Nigeria LNG gas liquefaction plant, located on Bonny Island, with an overall LNG capacity of 22.7 Mt/y. In 2011, the plant’s operating rate continued to increase and reached 81%, compared to 72% in 2010 and 50% in 2009, mainly due to the increased reliability of gas deliveries from the other suppliers.

Preliminary work continued in 2011 prior to launching the Brass LNG gas liquefaction plant project (17%), which calls for the construction of two trains, each with a capacity of 5 Mt/y. Calls for tenders for the construction of the plant and loading facilities are underway.

TOTAL continues its efforts to strengthen its ability to supply gas to the LNG projects in which it owns a stake and to meet the growing domestic demand for gas:

On the OML 136 license (40%), the positive results for the Agge 3 appraisal well confirmed the development potential of the license. Development studies are underway.

As part of its joint venture with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), TOTAL is continuing with the project to increase the production capacity of the OML 58 license (40%, operator) from 370 Mcf/d to 550 Mcf/d of gas in 2012. A second phase of this project is expected to allow the development of other resources through these facilities.

On the OML 112/117 licenses (40%), TOTAL continued development studies in 2011 for the Ima gas field.

On the OML 102 license (40%, operator), TOTAL confirmed the launch of the Ofon phase 2 project in 2011 with the signing of the main construction contracts, with production start-up scheduled for 2014. In 2011 the Group also discovered Etisong North, located 15 km from the Ofon field, which is currently producing. This is the second exploration well on the Etisong hub after the Etisong Main discovery made in 2008. The exploration campaign is expected to continue with two additional wells in 2012.

On the OML 130 license (24%, operator), the Akpo field, which started up in March 2009, reached plateau production of 225 kboe/d in 2010. Production was limited between March and September 2011 by a technical issue on the engine of the gas reinjection compressor (liquids production of 160 kb/d instead of 190 kb/d). On this license, the Group is actively working on the Egina field, for which a development

plan has been approved by the Nigerian authorities. Calls for tender are underway and construction is expected to start in 2012.

On the OML 138 license (20%, operator), TOTAL finalized the development of the Usan offshore project (180 kb/d, production capacity) with the drilling of production wells, installation of sub-sea equipment and connection to the FPSO. Production started up in February 2012.

TOTAL also strengthened its deep offshore position with the ongoing development of the Bonga Northwest project on the OML 118 license (12.5%).

Due to the relative calm with regard to safety in the Niger Delta region in 2011, it has been possible to maintain oil production operated by the SPDC joint venture, in which TOTAL has a 10% stake, at close to 2010 levels. The SPDC joint venture’s gas production was higher in 2011 as a result of the contribution of the Gbaran-Ubie project, which started up in 2010.

InUganda, TOTAL finalized in February 2012 its farm-in for an interest of 33.33%, which covers the EA-1 and EA-2 licenses as well as the new Kanywataba license and the Kingfisher production license. All of these licenses are located in the Lake Albert region, where oil resources have already been discovered and a substantial potential remains to be explored.

TOTAL will be the operator of EA-1 and partner on the other licenses. TOTAL and its partners Tullow and CNOOC are embarking on an ambitious exploration and appraisal program from 2012 onwards. First priority will be given to the exploration of Kanywataba and EA-1 licenses west of the Nile.

In theRepublic of the Congo, the Group’s production was 123 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 120 kboe/d in 2010 and 106 kboe/d in 2009.

On the Moho Bilondo field (53.5%, operator), which started up in April 2008, drilling of development wells continued until 2010. The field reached plateau production of 90 kboe/d in June 2010.

Two positive appraisal wells (Bilondo Marine 2 & 3) drilled at year-end 2010 in the southern portion of the field confirmed an additional growth potential as an extension of existing facilities. Studies are underway for the development of these additional reserves.

The development of the resources in the northern portion of the field, the potential of which was bolstered by appraisal and exploration wells drilled in 2008 and 2009, is also being examined (Moho North project).

Production on Libondo (65%, operator), which is part of the Kombi-Likalala-Libondo operating license, started up in March 2011. Plateau production has reached 12 kb/d. A substantial portion of the equipment was sourced locally in Pointe-Noire through the redevelopment of a construction site that had been idle for several years.

In theDemocratic Republic of the Congo, following the Presidential decree approving TOTAL’s entry as operator with a 60% interest in Block III of the Graben Albertine, the exploration permit was issued in January 2012 by the Minister of Hydrocarbons for a period of three years. This block is located in the Lake Albert region.

In theRepublic of South Sudan, which became an independent state on July 9, 2011, TOTAL holds an interest in Block B and is preparing with state authorities the resumption of exploration activities on this block.

North America

In 2011, TOTAL’s production in North America was 67 kboe/d, representing 3% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 65 kboe/d in 2010 and 24 kboe/d in 2009.

InCanada, TOTAL signed in December 2010 a strategic partnership with Suncor related to the Fort Hills and Joslyn mining projects and the Voyageur upgrader. The partnership was finalized in March 2011 and allows TOTAL to reorganize around two major hubs the different oil sands assets that it has acquired over the last few years: on the one hand, a Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) hub focused on Surmont’s (50%) ongoing development and, on the other hand, a mining and upgrading hub, which includes the TOTAL-operated Joslyn (38.25%) and Suncor-operated Fort Hills (39.2%) mining projects and the Suncor-operated Voyageur upgrader (49%) project. The Group also has a 50% stake in the Northern Lights mining project (operator) and 100% of a number of oil sands leases acquired through several auction sales. In 2011, the Group’s production was 11 kb/d, compared to 10 kb/d in 2010 and 8 kb/d in 2009.

On the Surmont lease, commercial production in SAGD mode of the first development phase, which started up in late 2007, is now producing around 25 kb/d of bitumen from thirty-five well pairs. The operator plans to drill additional wells in 2012 and to continue to convert the activation method on the existing wells from gas lift to electric submersible pump (ESP) in order to improve production.

In early 2010, the partners of the project decided to launch the construction of the second development

phase. The goal of production start-up from Surmont Phase 2 has been set for 2015 and overall production capacity from the field is expected to increase to 130 kb/d. In April 2011, the authorities issued a license permitting production (phases 1 and 2) of up to 136 kb/d.

The Joslyn lease is expected to be developed through mining, with a first development phase having an anticipated capacity of 100 kb/d.

The basic engineering for the Joslyn North Mine started in March 2010. To take into account changes to the project following the partnership with Suncor, the revision of the basic engineering is expected to be finalized in 2012. A decision to launch the project is planned for 2013.

Public hearings that are necessary for the project to be approved by the Canadian authorities were held in autumn 2010. The project was recommended as being in the public interest in January 2011, and approval from the Alberta authorities (Order in Council, OIC) was obtained in April 2011. The provincial authorizations from the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) and Alberta Environment were also obtained in May and September 2011, respectively. The project received federal approval (Federal OIC and approval from the Canadian Ministry of the Environment) at the end of 2011. As a result, preliminary site preparation work began in early 2012 and production is scheduled to start in 2018.

TOTAL closed in September 2010 the acquisition of UTS and its main asset: a 20% stake in the Fort Hills lease. In December 2010, as part of their partnership, TOTAL acquired from Suncor an additional 19.2% stake in the lease, thereby increasing its stake to 39.2%. Basic engineering and site preparation work are underway. Start-up of the Fort Hills mining project, which has already been approved by the relevant authorities for a first development phase with a capacity of 160 kb/d, is expected in 2016.

TOTAL had also acquired in late December 2010 a 49% stake in Suncor’s Voyageur upgrader project. This Voyageur upgrader project, which Suncor mothballed at year-end 2008, resumed in 2011 and is expected to start up concurrently with the Fort Hills project. As a consequence, the Group has abandoned its upgrader project in Edmonton.

In 2008, the Group closed the acquisition of Synenco, the two principal assets of which are a 60% stake in the Northern Lights project and 100% of the adjacent McClelland lease. In early 2009, the Group sold to

Sinopec, the other partner in the project, a 10% stake in the Northern Lights project and a 50% stake in the McClelland lease, reducing its equity stake in each of the assets to 50%. The Northern Lights project is expected to be developed through mining.

In theUnited States, the Group’s production was 56 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 55 kboe/d in 2010 and 16 kboe/d in 2009.

In the Gulf of Mexico:

The deep-offshore Tahiti oil field (17%) started producing in 2009 and reached production of 135 kboe/d. Phase 2, which produceswas launched in September 2010, comprises drilling four injection wells and two producing wells. Water injection started in February 2012. This phase should partly offset the production decline seen on wells currently in production.

Development of the first phase of the deep-offshore Chinook project (33.33%) is ongoing. The production test is scheduled to start in mid-2012 after sub-sea work carried out following an incident on one of the risers.

In 2009, TOTAL and Cobalt had signed an agreement related to the merger of their deep offshore acreage, with Cobalt operating the exploration phase. The TOTAL (40%) — Cobalt (60%, operator) alliance’s exploratory drilling campaign was launched in 2009 and the drilling of the first three wells produced disappointing results. This campaign was disrupted due to the U.S. government’s moratorium on offshore drilling operations from May to October 2010 and resumed at the beginning of 2012 with the start of drilling of the Ligurian 2 well.

In April 2010, the Group disposed of its equity stakes in the Matterhorn and Virgo operated fields.

Following the signature of an agreement in late 2009, a joint venture was set up with Chesapeake to produce shale gas in the Barnett Shale Basin, Texas. Under this joint venture, TOTAL owns 25% of Chesapeake’s portfolio in the area. In 2011, approximately 300 additional wells were drilled, enabling gas production reaching 1.4 Bcf/d in 100% at the end of 2011. Engineers from TOTAL are assigned to the teams led by Chesapeake.

At the end of 2011, TOTAL signed an agreement with Chesapeake and EnerVest to enter into a joint venture. Pursuant to the agreement, TOTAL acquired a 25% share in Chesapeake’s and EnerVest’s liquid-rich area

of the Utica shale play (Ohio). At the end of 2011, thirteen wells have been drilled across the acreage with very promising results seen from each well in terms of productivity and liquid content.

In 2009, the Group closed the acquisition of a 50% stake in American Shale Oil LLC (AMSO) to develop shale oil technology. The pilot to develop this technology is underway in Colorado.

InMexico, TOTAL is conducting various studies with state-owned PEMEX under a general technical cooperation agreement renewed in July 2011 for a period of five years.

South America

In 2011, TOTAL’s production in South America was 188 kboe/d, representing 8% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 179 kboe/d in 2010 and 182 kboe/d in 2009.

InArgentina, where TOTAL has been present since 1978, the Group operates 30%(1) of the country’s gas production. The Group’s production was 86 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 83 kboe/d in 2010 and 80 kboe/d in 2009.

In Tierra del Fuego, the Group notably operates the Carina and Aries offshore fields (37.5%). The award of the contracts to build the offshore facilities for the development of the Vega Pleyade gas and condensates field is scheduled for 2012. The project is scheduled to start production in 2014 and should make it possible to maintain the production operated by the Group in Tierra del Fuego at around 615 Mcf/d.

In the Neuquén Basin, TOTAL started a drilling campaign in 2011 on its operated licenses in order to assess their shale gas potential. The campaign, which started on the Aguada Pichana (27.3%, operator) and San Roque (24.7%, operator) fields, will be extended subsequently to the Rincon la Ceniza and La Escalonada licenses acquired in 2010 (85%, operator) and to the four fields acquired in 2011: Aguada de Castro (42.5%, operator), Pampa de la Yeguas II (42.5%, operator), Cerro Las Minas (40%) and Cerro Partido (45%).

The connection of satellite discoveries on the edge of the main Aguada Pichana field, particularly in the Las Carceles canyons area, and the increase in compression capacity at San Roque, have extended plateau production of the mature fields in these two blocks.

InBolivia, the Group’s production, primarily gas, amounted to 25 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 20 kboe/d

in 2010 and 2009. TOTAL has stakes in six licenses: three producing licenses — San Alberto and San Antonio (15%) and Block XX Tarija Oeste (41%), and three licenses in the exploration or appraisal phase — Aquio and Ipati (80%, operator) and Rio Hondo (50%).

Production started up in February 2011 on the gas and condensates Itaú field located on Block XX Tarija Oeste; it is routed to the existing facilities of the neighboring San Alberto field. A development plan for a second phase at Itaú was approved by the local authorities in June 2011. In early 2011, TOTAL decreased its stake in Block XX Tarija Oeste to 41% after divesting 34% and is no longer the operator.

In 2004, TOTAL discovered the Incahuasi gas field on the Ipati Block. Following the interpretation of the 3D seismic shot in 2008, an appraisal well was drilled on the adjacent Aquio Block and the extension of the discovery to the north was confirmed in 2011.

Due to the positive results from the well, TOTAL filed a declaration of commerciality for the Aquio and Ipati Blocks, which was approved by the local authorities in April 2011. Additional appraisal work is underway, notably with the drilling of a second well on the Ipati Block in 2012.

In 2010, TOTAL signed an agreement to dispose of 20% in the Aquio and Ipati licenses to Gazprom. Following approval of the agreement by the Bolivian authorities, TOTAL will have a 60% stake in the licenses.

InBrazil, TOTAL has equity stakes in three exploration blocks: Blocks BC-2 (41.2%) and BM-C-14 (50%) in the Campos Basin, and Block BM-S-54 (20%) in the Santos Basin.

The Xerelete field is mainly located on Block BC2, with an extension on Block BM-C-14. A unitization agreement was finalized by the partners on both blocks and submitted to the authorities for approval in April 2011.

In 2012, pending the authorities’ approval, TOTAL is expected to become operator of the unitized Xerelete field. After seismic reprocessing, a pre-salt prospect was found under the Xerelete discovery made in 2001 at a water depth of 2,400 m. TOTAL is planning to resume drilling activities on the block in 2012.

On Block BM-S-54, a first well was drilled in the pre-salt at the end of 2010 on the Gato do Mato structure, and a significant oil column was found. The appraisal plan approved by the authorities in October 2011 includes testing the Gato do Mato well and, if

that test is successful, drilling a second well on the structure in 2012. As the Gato do Mato structure extends beyond the boundaries of Block BM-S-54 into a free zone, a draft unitization agreement has been submitted to the authorities.

At the end of 2011, a second structure (Epitonium) identified on Block BM-S-54 was drilled. The results of the well are under analysis.

InColombia, where TOTAL has had operations since 1973, the Group’s production was 11 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 18 kboe/d in 2010 and 23 kboe/d in 2009. The decline in production in 2011 was mainly due to the divestment of TOTAL’s stake in CEPSA, which was finalized in July 2011.

On the Cusiana field (11.6%), production from the project to extract 6 kb/d of LPG started at the end of 2011.

Following the discovery of Huron-1 in 2009 on the Niscota (50%) exploration license and a 3D seismic survey in 2010, the first appraisal well has been underway since mid-2011. A second appraisal well is expected in 2012.

In 2011, TOTAL sold 10% of its stake in the Ocensa oil pipeline, reducing its holding to 5.2%.

In February 2012, TOTAL signed an agreement to sell TEPMA BV. This wholly-owned affiliate of TOTAL holds the working interest in the Cusiana field as well as a participation in OAM and ODC pipelines in Colombia. This transaction is subject to approval by the relevant authorities.

InFrench Guiana, TOTAL owns a 25% stake in the Guyane Maritime license. The license, located about 150 km off the coast, covers an area of approximately 26,000 km2 in water depths ranging from 200 to 3,000 m.

Located around 170 km northeast off Cayenne, drilling of the GM-ES-1 well on the Zaedyus prospect took place in 2011. The well was drilled at water depths of over 2,000 m and reached a vertical depth of 5,908 m below sea level. It revealed two hydrocarbon columns in gravelly reservoirs.

This discovery follows on from the shooting of a 3D seismic survey covering 2,500 km2 on the eastern zone of the Guyane Maritime license.

An extensive drilling campaign and a further 3D seismic survey are planned on the license starting in 2012.

InTrinidad & Tobago, where TOTAL has had operations since 1996, the Group’s production was 12 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 3 kboe/d in 2010 and 5 kboe/d in 2009. TOTAL holds a 30% stake in the offshore Angostura

field located on Block 2C. Production started up in May 2011 on Phase 2, which corresponds to the gas reserves development phase. A drilling campaign on three wells started in mid-2011 in order to increase oil production. An exploration well was also drilled in 2011 and revealed additional gas resources.

In Venezuela, where TOTAL has had operations since 1980, the Group’s production was 54 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 55 kboe/d in 2010 and 54 kboe/d in 2009. TOTAL has equity stakes in PetroCedeño (30.323%), which produces and upgrades extra heavy oil in the Orinoco Belt, in Yucal Placer (69.5%), which produces gas dedicated to the domestic market, and in the offshore exploration Block 4, located in the Plataforma Deltana (49%).

The development phase of the southern portion of the PetroCedeño field was launched in the second half of 2011.

An additional development phase on the Yucal Placer field to increase production capacity from 100 Mcf/d to 300 Mcf/d is under discussion with the authorities.

In 2011, TOTAL’s production in Asia-Pacific was 231 kboe/d, representing 10% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 248 kboe/d in 2010 and 251 kboe/d in 2009.

InAustralia, where TOTAL has held leasehold rights since 2005, the Group owns 24% of the Ichthys project, 27.5% of the GLNG project and nine offshore exploration licenses, including four that it operates, off the northwest coast in the Browse, Vulcan and Bonaparte Basins. In 2011, the Group produced 4 kboe/d due to its stake in GLNG, compared to 1 kboe/d in 2010.

The Ichthys LNG project is aimed at the development of the Ichthys gas and condensates field, located in the Browse Basin. This development includes a floating platform designed for gas production, treatment and export, an FPSO to stabilize and export condensates, an 889 km gas pipeline and an onshore liquefaction plant located in Darwin. The project was launched in early 2012 following completion of the engineering studies, calls for tender and subcontractor selection. The LNG has already been sold under long-term contracts mainly to Asian buyers.

Production capacity is expected to be 8.4 Mt/y of LNG and nearly 1.6 Mt/y of LPG as well as a production of 100 kb/d of condensates at peak. Production start-up is expected at year-end 2016.

In late 2010, TOTAL acquired a 20% stake in the GLNG project, followed by an additional 7.5% stake in

March 2011. This integrated gas production, transport and liquefaction project is based on the development of coal gas from the Fairview, Roma, Scotia and Arcadia fields. The final investment decision was made in January 2011 and start-up is expected in 2015. LNG production is expected to eventually reach 7.2 Mt/y. The preliminary project development and engineering work are continuing. The 420 km pipeline for transporting the gas has received environmental approval. Off the coast near Gladstone, on Curtis Island, site preparations have started with civil engineering, dredging and construction of the initial jetty and the residential compound.

Following extensive seismic surveying in 2008 and interpretation of the data in 2009, a drilling campaign on two wells started in early 2011 on license WA-403 (60%, operator). As one well demonstrated the presence of hydrocarbons, additional appraisal work will take place on this block (3D seismic).

Three new exploration wells are planned for 2012/2013 on license WA-408 (100%, operator).

In Brunei, where TOTAL has been present since 1986, the Group operates the offshore Maharaja Lela Jamalulalam gas and condensates field located on Block B (37.5%). The Group’s production was 13 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 14 kboe/d in 2010 and 12 kboe/d in 2009. The gas is delivered to the Brunei LNG liquefaction plant.

On Block B, the drilling campaign that started in 2009 continued in 2010 and 2011. Production on the first well started in 2010. The next two wells, which were exploratory, revealed new reserves in the southern portion of the field, for which development studies are underway. A fourth well drilled in 2011 in the southern portion of the field was connected to the production facilities at the end of the year. A ten-year extension of the mining rights period was recently granted by the Brunei government.

On deep-offshore exploration Block CA1 (54%, operator), formerly Block J, exploration operations that had been suspended since May 2003 due to a border dispute between Brunei and Malaysia resumed in September 2010. A seismic survey started before the summer of 2011 and an initial campaign of three drillings started in October 2011.

InChina, the Group has had operations since 2006 on the South Sulige Block, located in the Ordos Basin in the Inner Mongolia province. Following appraisal work by TOTAL, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and TOTAL agreed in November 2010 to submit to the authorities for approval a development plan under which CNPC is the operator and provides the benefit of its experience in

developing Great Sulige. TOTAL has a 49% stake and provides support in its areas of expertise.

The authorities gave the operator permission to undertake preliminary development work in the spring of 2011. Drilling operations started and additional 3D seismic data was shot in 2011 in preparation for the upcoming drilling campaigns. Start-up of production is expected in 2012.

InIndonesia, where TOTAL has had operations since 1968, the Group’s production was 158 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 178 kboe/d in 2010 and 190 kboe/d in 2009.

TOTAL’s operations in Indonesia are primarily concentrated on the Mahakam permit (50%, operator), which covers in particular the Peciko and Tunu gas fields. TOTAL also has a stake in the Sisi-Nubi gas field (47.9%, operator). TOTAL delivers most of its natural gas production to the Bontang LNG plant operated by the Indonesian company PT Badak. The overall capacity of the eight liquefaction trains of the Bontang plant is 22 Mt/y.

In 2011, gas production operated by TOTAL amounted to 2,227 Mcf/d. The gas operated and delivered by TOTAL accounted for nearly 80% of Bontang LNG’s supply. In addition to gas production, operated condensates and oil production from the Handil and Bekapai fields amounted to 59 kb/d and 23 kb/d, respectively.

On the Mahakam permit:

In 2011, the scheduled drilling of additional wells in the main reservoir of the Tunu field continued with increasing density. The second phase of drilling development wells to discover shallow gas reservoirs has started.

On the Peciko field, Phase 7 drilling, which started in 2009, is continuing.

The development of South Mahakam, which includes the Stupa, West Stupa and East Mandu fields, is ongoing. Start-up of production is expected in early 2013.

On the Sisi-Nubi field, which began production in 2007, drilling operations continue within the framework of a second phase of development. The gas from Sisi-Nubi is produced through Tunu’s processing facilities.

In October 2010, TOTAL closed the acquisition of a 15% stake in the Sebuku permit, where the gas field Ruby was discovered. Development of the field, with the aim of producing 100 Mcf/d of natural gas, started in February 2011. Production start-up is scheduled for the end of 2013.

On the Southeast Mahakam exploration block (50%, operator), the first exploration well (Trekulu 1) completed at the end of 2010 produced negative results.

In May 2010, the Group acquired a 24.5% stake in two exploration blocks — Arafura and Amborip VI — located in the Arafura Sea. Two wells were drilled on these blocks in late 2010/early 2011. The results were negative.

In September 2011, TOTAL signed an agreement to acquire a stake in three exploration blocks located in the southern Makassar Strait (Sageri, 50%, South Sageri, 35% and Sadang, 20%). A first well was drilled on the Sageri block at the end of 2011.

In September 2011, TOTAL also signed an agreement to acquire a stake in an exploration block located in the southern Makassar Strait (South Mandar, 33%). Under the agreement, the Group acquired additional 10% stakes in the South Sageri and Sadang blocks.

In May 2011, TOTAL acquired a 100% stake in the South West Bird’s Head exploration block. The block is located onshore and offshore in the Salawati Basin, in the province of West Papua.

The Group signed a production sharing agreement in March 2011, for a 50% stake in a coal bed methane (CBM) field on the Kutai Timur Block in East Kalimantan province.

In the autumn of 2010, the Group signed an agreement with the consortium Nusantara Regas (Pertamina-PGN) for the delivery of 11.75 Mt of LNG over the period 2012-2022 to a re-gasification terminal located near Jakarta. The first deliveries are expected in the second quarter of 2012.

InMalaysia, TOTAL signed a production sharing agreement in 2008 with state-owned Petronas for the offshore exploration Blocks PM303 and PM324. Following the seismic studies performed in 2009 and 2010, TOTAL withdrew from offshore exploration Block PM303 in early 2011. Exploration work continued on Block PM324 (50%, operator); initial drilling in high pressure/high temperature conditions started in October 2011 and continues in 2012.

TOTAL also signed in November 2010 a new production sharing agreement with Petronas for the deep offshore exploration Block SK 317 B (85%, operator) located off the state of Sarawak. 3D seismic surveys have been carried out on the zone. The results should be available shortly.

InMyanmar, the Group’s production was 15 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 14 kboe/d in 2010 and 13 kboe/d in 2009. TOTAL operates the Yadana field (31.2%), located on offshore Blocks M5 and M6, which produces gas that is delivered primarily to PTT (the Thai state-owned company) to be used in Thai power plants. The Yadana field also supplies the domestic market via a land pipeline and, since June 2010, via a sub-sea pipeline built and operated by Myanmar’s state-owned company MOGE.

InThailand, the Group’s production was 41 kboe/d in 2011 and 2010, compared to and 36 kboe/d in 2009. This comes from the Bongkot (33.33%) offshore gas and condensates field. PTT purchases all of the natural gas and condensates production.

On the northern portion of the Bongkot field, the 3H (three wellhead platforms) development phase came onstream in early 2011. New investments are being made to meet gas demand and maintain plateau production:

phase 3J (two well platforms) was launched in late 2010 with start-up scheduled for 2012;

phase 3K (two well platforms) was approved in September 2011 with start-up scheduled for 2013; and

the second low-pressure compressor installation phase to increase gas production was completed in the first quarter of 2012.

The southern portion of the field (Greater Bongkot South) is also being developed in several phases. This development is designed to include a processing platform, a residential platform and thirteen production platforms. Construction of the facilities started in 2009 and accelerated in 2011 with the installation of the residential and gas processing platforms in August. Production is expected to start in the spring of 2012, with a capacity of 350 Mcf/d.

InVietnam, TOTAL holds a 35% stake in the production sharing agreement for the offshore 15-1/05 exploration block following an agreement signed in 2007 with PetroVietnam. Two oil discoveries were made on the southern portion of the block, one in November 2009 and the other in October 2010. The results from the additional wells drilled on these discoveries between November 2010 and October 2011 are being assessed.

In 2009, TOTAL and PetroVietnam signed a production sharing agreement for Blocks DBSCL-02 and DBSCL-03. The onshore blocks, located in the Mekong Delta region, are held by TOTAL (75%, operator) and PetroVietnam (25%). Based on the seismic information obtained in 2009 and 2010, the partners have decided not to continue the exploration work.

Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)

In 2011, TOTAL’s production in the CIS was 119 kboe/d, representing 5% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 23 kboe/d in 2010 and 24 kboe/d in 2009.

InAzerbaijan, where TOTAL has had operations since 1996, production was 14 kboe/d in 2011, compared to

13 kboe/d in 2010 and 12 kboe/d in 2009. The Group’s production comes from the Shah Deniz field (10%). TOTAL also holds a 10% stake in South Caucasus Pipeline Company, owner of the South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP) gas pipeline that transports the gas produced in Shah Deniz to the Turkish and Georgian markets. TOTAL also holds a 5% stake in BTC Co., owner of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline, which connects Baku and the Mediterranean Sea. In 2009, TOTAL and state-owned SOCAR signed an exploration, development and production sharing agreement for a license located on the Absheron block in the Caspian Sea. TOTAL (40%) is the operator during the exploration phase and a joint operating company will manage operations during the development phase. Drilling of an exploratory well started in early 2011. In September 2011, the well showed the existence of a substantial gas accumulation. The well will be tested in 2012.

Gas deliveries to Turkey and Georgia from the Shah Deniz field continued throughout 2011, at a lower pace for Turkey due to weaker demand than initially forecast. Conversely, SOCAR took greater quantities of gas than provided for by the agreement.

Development studies and business negotiations for the sale of additional gas needed to launch a second development phase in Shah Deniz continued in 2011. In October 2011, SOCAR and Botas, a Turkish state-owned company, signed an agreement on the sale of additional gas volumes and the transfer conditions for volumes intended for the European market. The agreement is expected to enable the start of FEED studies for this second phase in the first quarter of 2012, although some of the commercial provisions of the agreement have yet to be finalized.

InKazakhstan, TOTAL has owned since 1992 a stake in the North Caspian license, which covers the Kashagan field in particular.

The Kashagan project is expected to be developed in several phases. The development plan for the first phase (300 kb/d) was approved in February 2004 by the Kazakh authorities, allowing work to begin on the field. The consortium continues to target first production by year-end 2012.

In October 2008, the members of the North Caspian Sea Production Sharing Agreement (NCSPSA) consortium and the Kazakh authorities signed agreements to end the disagreement that began in August 2007. Their implementation led to a reduction of TOTAL’s share in NCSPSA from 18.52% to 16.81%. The operating structure was reconfigured and the North Caspian Operating Company (NCOC), a joint operating company, was entrusted with the operatorship in January 2009. NCOC supervises and coordinates NCSPSA’s operations.

InRussia, where TOTAL has had operations through its subsidiary since 1991, the Group’s production was 105 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 10 kboe/d in 2010 and 12 kboe/d in 2009. This comes from the Kharyaga field (40%, operator) and TOTAL’s stake in Novatek.

In 2007, TOTAL and Gazprom signed an agreement for the first phase of development on the giant Shtokman gas and condensates field, located in the Barents Sea. Under this agreement, Shtokman Development AG (TOTAL, 25%) was created in 2008 to design, build, finance and operate this first development phase, with estimated overall production capacity of 23.7 Bm3/y (0.4 Mboe/d). Engineering studies are underway for the portion of the project that will allow the transport of gas by pipeline through the Gazprom network (offshore development, gas pipeline and onshore gas and condensates processing facilities on the Teriberka site) and for the LNG part of the project, which will allow the export of 7.5 Mt/y of LNG from a new harbor located in Teriberka, representing approximately half of the associated gas produced by ADCO,the first development phase.

In late 2009, TOTAL closed the acquisition from Novatek of a 49% stake in Terneftegas, which holds a development and production license on the onshore Termokarstovoye field. An appraisal well was drilled in 2010. The results of this well and of the pre-project studies allowed for the final investment decision to be made at year-end 2011.

On the Kharyaga field, work related to the development plan of phase 3 is ongoing. This development plan is intended to maintain plateau production at the 30 kboe/d (in 100%) level reached in late 2009. TOTAL sold 10% of the field to state-owned Zarubezhneft in January 2010, thereby decreasing its interest to 40%.

In the autumn of 2009, TOTAL signed an agreement setting forth the principles of a partnership with KazMunaiGas (KMG) for the development of the Khvalynskoye gas and condensates field, located offshore in the Caspian Sea on the border between Kazakhstan and Russia, under Russian jurisdiction. Gas production is expected to be transported to Russia. Pursuant to this agreement, TOTAL is planning to acquire 17% of KMG’s share.

In March 2011, TOTAL and the Russian listed company Novatek signed a strategic partnership agreement pursuant to which TOTAL acquired a 12.09% stake in Novatek in April 2011, with the intention of both parties for TOTAL to increase its

holding to 15% within 12 months and a 5%19.40% within three years. In December 2011, TOTAL increased its stake in Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Company (ADGAS)Novatek by 2% to 14.09%.

In October 2011, TOTAL and Novatek signed the final agreements for the joint development of the Yamal LNG project. With a 20% stake, TOTAL has become Novatek’s main international partner in the gas liquefaction project. Novatek, which will retain a 51% stake, intends to dispose of the remaining 29% to other partners. The Yamal LNG project covers the development of the South Tambey gas and condensates field, located on the Yamal Peninsula in the Arctic.

Europe

In 2011, TOTAL’s production in Europe was 512 kboe/d, representing 22% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 580 kboe/d in 2010 and 613 kboe/d in 2009.

InDenmark, TOTAL has owned since June 2010 an 80% stake in and the operatorship for licenses 1/10 (Nordjylland) and 2/10 (Nordsjaelland, formerly Frederoskilde). These onshore licenses, the shale gas potential of which has yet to be assessed, cover areas of 3,000 km2 and 2,300 km2, respectively. Following geoscience surveys on license 1/10 in 2011, the decision was made to drill a well during the second half of 2012. Geoscience surveys are ongoing on license 2/10.

InFrance, the Group’s production was 18 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 21 kboe/d in 2010 and 24 kboe/d in 2009. TOTAL’s major assets are the Lacq (100%) and Meillon (100%) gas fields, located in the southwest part of the country.

On the Lacq field, operated since 1957, a carbon capture and storage pilot was commissioned in January 2010, and carbon injection is expected to continue until 2013. In connection with this project, a boiler has been modified to operate in an oxy-fuel combustion environment and the carbon dioxide emitted is captured and re-injected in the depleted Rousse field. As part of TOTAL’s sustainable development policy, this project will allow the Group to assess one of the technological possibilities for reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Agreements were signed in December 2011 for the sale of the Itteville, Vert-le-Grand, Vert-le-Petit, La Croix Blanche, Dommartin Lettrée and Vic-Bilh assets. Operatorship and production rights for these assets were transferred in January 2012.

The Montélimar exclusive exploration license, awarded to TOTAL in March 2010 (100%) to assess, in particular, the

shale gas potential of the area, was revoked by the government in October 2011. This revocation stemmed from the law of July 13, 2011, prohibiting the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons by drilling followed by hydraulic fracturing. The Group had, however, submitted the required report to the government, in which it undertook not to use hydraulic fracturing in light of the current prohibition. An appeal has therefore been filed in December 2011 with the administrative court requesting that the judge cancel the revocation of the license.

InItaly, the Tempa Rossa field (75%, operator), discovered in 1989 and located on the unitized Gorgoglione concession (Basilicate region), is one of TOTAL’s principal assets in the country.

In 2011, Total Italia acquired an additional 25% in the Tempa Rossa field, bringing its stake to 75%, as well as shares in two exploration licenses.

Site preparation work started in early August 2008, but the proceedings initiated by the Prosecutor of the Potenza Court against Total Italia led to a freeze in the preparation work (for additional information, see “Item 8. Financial Information — Legal or arbitration proceedings — Italy”). New calls for tenders were launched related to certain contracts that had been cancelled. Drilling of the Gorgoglione 2 appraisal well that started in June 2010 reached its final depth, confirming the results of the other wells. It is expected to be tested in 2012. The extension plan for the Tarente refinery export system, needed for the development of the Tempa Rossa field, was submitted to the Italian authorities in May 2010 and approved at the end of 2011. Site preparation work began and start-up of production is expected in 2015 with a capacity of 55 kboe/d.

InNorway, where the Group has had operations since the mid-1960s, TOTAL has equity stakes in eighty production licenses on the Norwegian continental shelf, seventeen of which it operates. Norway is the largest single-country contributor to the Group’s production, with volumes of 287 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 310 kboe/d in 2010 and 327 kboe/d in 2009.

In the Norwegian North Sea, where numerous development projects have recently been launched, the Group’s production was 205 kboe/d in 2011. The most substantial contribution to production, for the most part non-operated, comes from the Greater Ekofisk Area (Ekofisk, Eldfisk, Embla, etc.).

Several projects are underway on the Greater Ekofisk Area, located in the south. The Group owns a 39.9% stake in the Ekofisk and Eldfisk

fields. The Ekofisk South and Eldfisk 2 projects were launched in June 2011 following approval of the development and operation plans by the authorities. The project relating to the construction and installation of the new Ekofisk living quarters and utilities platform is now in its second year.

On the Greater Hild Area, located in the north and in which the Group has a 51% stake (operator), the Hild development scheme was selected at the end of 2010. The development and operation plan has been submitted to the authorities in early 2012. Approval is expected in 2012, with production start-up scheduled for 2016.

A number of successful exploration and appraisal activities were carried out in the North Sea in the 2009-2011 period. These activities have led to the launch of several development projects, which are already underway or for which approval by the authorities is expected in 2012:

¡

In the central section of the North Sea, on license PL102C (40%, operator), a fast-track development project has been launched for the Atla field (formerly known as David), which produces LNG, LPG and condensates.

In early 2009, TOTAL signed agreements for a20-year extensionwas discovered in 2010. Start-up of its participationgas production is expected in late 2012.

¡

Gas production on the Beta West field (a satellite of Sleipner, 10%), located in the GASCO joint venture starting on October 1, 2008.

In early 2011, TOTAL and IPIC, a government-owned entity in Abu Dhabi, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a view to developing projects of common interest in the upstream oil and gas sectors.
The Group holds a 25% interest in Dolphin Energy Ltd. alongside Mubadala, a company owned by the governmentcentral section of the Abu Dhabi Emirate, to market gas producedNorth Sea, started in QatarApril 2011.

InIraq

¡

The fast-track development project for the Vigdis North East structure (PL089, 5.6%), TOTAL biddiscovered in 2009 and located south of Snorre, was launched in 2011. It will also allow for enhanced hydrocarbon recovery from the nearby Vigdis East field. Start-up of oil production is expected in late 2012.

¡

A positive appraisal well was drilled in 2010 on the three calls for tenders launched bysouthern slope of the Iraqi MinistryDagny-Ermintrude structure (6.54%) north of Oil. The PetroChina-led consortium that includes TOTAL (18.75%) was awardedSleipner. Approval of the development project is expected at the end of 2012 and production contract for the Halfaya field during the second call for tenders held in December 2009. This field is located in the province of Missan, north of Basra. The agreement became effective in March 2010 and the preliminary development plan was approved by the Iraqi authoritiesscheduled to start in late September 2010. Development operations have started. It plans for first production of nearly 70 kb/d of oil in 2012.

InIran, the Group’s production, under buyback agreements, amounted to 2 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 8 kboe/d in 2009 and 9 kboe/d in 2008. For additional information on TOTAL’s operations in Iran, see “— Other Matters — Business Activities In Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria”.
InOman, the Group’s production in 2010 was 34 kboe/d, stable compared to 2009 and 2008. The Group produces oil on Block 6 mainly and on Block 53 as well as liquefied natural gas through its interests in the Oman LNG (5.54%)/Qalhat LNG (2.04%)(1) liquefaction plant, which has a capacity of 10.5 Mt/y.
InQatar, TOTAL has been present since 1936 and holds interests in the Al Khalij field (100%), the NFB Block (20%) in the North field, the Qatargas 1 liquefaction plant (10%), Dolphin (24.5%) and train 5 of Qatargas 2 (16.7%). The Group’s production was 164 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 141 kboe/d in 2009 and 121 kboe/d in 2008. Production substantially increased with thestart-up of Qatargas 2.2016.

 
• Production from Dolphin started during the summer of 2007 and reached its full capacity in the first quarter of 2008. The contract, signed in 2001 with state-owned Qatar Petroleum, provides for the sale of 2 Bcf/d of gas from the North field for a25-year period. The gas is processed in the Dolphin plant in Ras Laffan and exported to the United Arab Emirates through a 360 km gas pipeline.

In the Norwegian Sea, the Haltenbanken area includes the Tyrihans (23.2%), Mikkel (7.7%) and Kristin (6%) fields as well as the Åsgard (7.7%) field and its satellites Yttergryta (24.5%) and Morvin (6%). Morvin started up in August 2010 as planned, with two producing wells. In 2011, the Group’s production in the Haltenbanken area was 63 kboe/d.

• Production from train 5 of Qatargas 2, which started in September 2009, reached its full capacity(7.8 Mt/y) at year-end 2009. TOTAL has owned an interest in this train since 2006. In addition, TOTAL began to off-take part of the LNG produced in compliance with the contracts signed in 2006, which provide for the purchase of 5.2 Mt/y of LNG from Qatargas 2 by the Group.
The Group also holds a 10% interest in Laffan Refinery, a 146 kb/d condensate splitter that started up in September 2009.
InSyria, TOTAL is present on the Deir Ez Zor license (100%, operated by DEZPC, 50% of which is owned by TOTAL) and through the Tabiyeh contract that became effective in October 2009. The Group’s production for both assets was 39 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 20 kboe/d in 2009 and 15 kboe/d in 2008.
Three agreements were ratified:

The partners decided to go ahead with the Åsgard sub-sea compression project, which will increase hydrocarbon recovery on the Åsgard and Mikkel fields, and the development and operation plan has been submitted to the authorities.

In 2011, TOTAL successfully drilled an exploration well on the Alve North structure on license PL127 (50%, operator) near the Norne field.

In the Barents Sea, LNG production on Snøhvit (18.4%) started in 2007. This project includes development of the Snøhvit, Albatross and Askeladd natural gas fields, as well as the construction of the associated liquefaction facilities. Due to design problems, the plant experienced reduced capacity during the start-up phase. A number of maintenance turnarounds were scheduled to address the issue and the plant is now operating at its design capacity (4.2 Mt/y). In 2011, the Group’s production was 19 kboe/d.

In 2011, TOTAL drilled a positive exploration well on the Norvarg structure in the Barents Sea on license PL535 (40%, operator), which was awarded during the twentieth licensing round.

The Group improved its asset portfolio in Norway by obtaining new licenses and divesting a number of non-strategic assets:

In 2011, TOTAL obtained four new exploration licenses during licensing round APA 2010 (Awards in Predefined Areas), including one as operator. The Group also acquired in 2011 a 40% stake and the role of operator of license PL554, north of Visund. Drilling of an exploration well is expected on the license in 2012. At the beginning of 2012, during licensing round APA 2011, TOTAL obtained eight new licences, including five as operator.

In 2010, the Group divested its stake in the Valhall/Hod fields.

In June 2011, TOTAL announced that it had signed an agreement for the planned sale of its entire stake in Gassled (6.4%) and the associated entities. The sale was effective at the end of 2011.

In theNetherlands, TOTAL has had natural gas exploration and production operations since 1964 and

currently owns twenty-four offshore production licenses, including twenty that it operates, and two offshore exploration licenses, E17c (16.92%) and K1c (30%). In 2011, the Group’s production was 38 kboe/d, compared to 42 kboe/d in 2010 and 45 kboe/d in 2009.

The K5CU development project (49%, operator) was launched in 2009 and production started up in early 2011. This development includes four wells supported by a platform that was installed in 2010 and connected to the K5A platform by a 15 km gas pipeline.

The K4Z development project (50%, operator) began in 2011. This development is comprised of two sub-sea wells connected to the existing production and transport facilities. Start-up of production is expected in early 2013.

In late 2010, TOTAL disposed of 18.19% of its equity stake in the NOGAT gas pipeline and decreased its stake to 5%.

InPoland, at the end of March 2011, TOTAL signed an agreement to acquire a 49% stake in the Chelm and Werbkowice exploration concessions in order to assess their shale gas potential. On the Chelm license, drilling has taken place, the well has been tested and the results from the well are being examined.

In theUnited Kingdom, where TOTAL has had operations since 1962, the Group’s production was 169 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 207 kboe/d in 2010 and 217 kboe/d in 2009. Around 90% of this production comes from operated fields located in two major zones: the Alwyn zone in the northern North Sea, and the Elgin/Franklin zone in the Central Graben.

On the Alwyn zone, start-up of satellite fields or new reservoir compartments allowed production to be maintained. The N52 well drilled on Alwyn (100%) in a new compartment of the Statfjord reservoir came onstream in February 2010 with initial production of 15 kboe/d (gas and condensates). The N53 well was also drilled on Alwyn on the same type of reservoir in 2011 and came onstream in September 2011 with initial production of 4 kboe/d (gas and condensates).

The development project for Islay (100%), a gas and condensates discovery made in 2008 located south of Alwyn, was approved in July 2010. Development is underway and production start-up is expected in the first half of 2012 with a production capacity of 15 kboe/d.

In 2010, TOTAL signed an agreement to divest its stake in the Otter field; its holding fell from 81% to 50% in 2011 and was completely disposed of in February 2012.

 
• in 2008, the10-year extension, to 2021, of the production sharing agreement of the Deir Ez Zor license;
• in 2009, the Tabiyeh agreement, which primarily provides for an increase in the production from the gas and condensates Tabiyeh field; and
• in 2009, the Cooperation Framework Agreement, which provides for the development of oil projects in partnership with the Syrian company General Petroleum Corporation.

In the Central Graben, the development of the Elgin (46.2%, operator) and Franklin (46.2%, operator) fields, in production since 2001, contributed substantially to the Group’s presence in the United Kingdom. At the end of 2011, TOTAL acquired the remaining 22.5% of Elgin Franklin Oil & Gas (EFOG), a company through which it holds a stake in the Elgin and Franklin fields. On the Elgin field, a first infill well came onstream in October 2009 with production of 18 kboe/d. A second infill well started up in May 2010 with production of 12 kboe/d.

Following a gas leak on the Elgin field on March 25, 2012, the production on the Elgin, Franklin and West Franklin fields was stopped and the personnel of the site were evacuated. Investigations are ongoing to determine the causes and the remediation of the gas leak. The Group is actively monitoring the situation (situation as of March 26, 2012).

Additional development of West Franklin through a second phase (drilling of three additional wells and installation of a new platform connected to Elgin) was approved in November 2010. Start-up of production is expected at year-end 2013. The decision was made in 2011 to install a new well platform on the Elgin field. This new platform will be installed in parallel with the West Franklin project and will enable the drilling of new wells on the Elgin field as of 2014.

In addition to Alwyn and the Central Graben, a third area, West of Shetland, is undergoing development. TOTAL increased its equity stake to 80% in the Laggan and Tormore fields in early 2010.

The decision to develop the Laggan/Tormore fields was made in March 2010 and production is scheduled to start in 2014 with an expected capacity of 90 kboe/d. The joint development scheme selected by TOTAL and its partner includes sub-sea production facilities and off-gas treatment (gas and condensates) at a plant located near the Sullom Voe terminal in the Shetland Islands. The gas would then be exported to the Saint-Fergus terminal via a new pipeline connected to the Frigg gas pipeline (FUKA).

In 2010, the Group’s stake in the P967 license (operator), which includes the Tobermory gas discovery, increased to 50% from 43.75%. This license is located north of Laggan/Tormore.

In early 2011, a gas and condensate discovery was made on the Edradour license (75%, operator), near Laggan and Tormore. The development of Edradour using the infrastructures in place is being examined.

TOTAL has stakes in ten assets operated by third parties, the most important in terms of reserves being the Bruce (43.25%) and Alba (12.65%) fields. The Group disposed of its stake in the Nelson field (11.5%) in 2010.

Middle East

In 2011, TOTAL’s production in the Middle East was 570 kboe/d, representing 24% of the Group’s overall production, compared to 527 kboe/d in 2010 and 438 kboe/d in 2009.

In theUnited Arab Emirates, where TOTAL has had operations since 1939, the Group’s production was 240 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 222 kboe/d in 2010 and 214 kboe/d in 2009. The increase in production in 2011 was mainly due to higher production by Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) and Abu Dhabi Marine (ADMA).

In Abu Dhabi, TOTAL holds a 75% stake in the Abu Al Bu Khoosh field (operator), a 9.5% stake in ADCO, which operates the five major onshore fields in Abu Dhabi, and a 13.3% stake in ADMA, which operates two offshore fields. TOTAL also has a 15% stake in Abu Dhabi Gas Industries (GASCO), which produces LPG and condensates from the associated gas produced by ADCO, and a 5% stake in Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Company (ADGAS), which produces LNG, LPG and condensates.

In early 2009, TOTAL signed agreements for a 20-year extension of its stake in the GASCO joint venture starting on October 1, 2008.

In early 2011, TOTAL and IPIC, a government-owned entity in Abu Dhabi, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a view to developing projects of common interest in the upstream oil and gas sectors.

The Group has a 24.5% stake in Dolphin Energy Ltd. alongside Mubadala, a company owned by the government of the Abu Dhabi Emirate, to market gas produced primarily in Qatar to the United Arab Emirates.

The Group also owns 33.33% of Ruwais Fertilizer Industries (FERTIL), which produces urea. FERTIL 2, a new project, was launched in 2009 to build a new granulated urea unit with a capacity of 3,500 t/d (1.2 Mt/y). This project is expected to allow FERTIL to more than double production so as to reach nearly 2 Mt/y in January 2013.

InIraq, TOTAL bid in 2009 and 2010 on the three calls for tenders launched by the Iraqi Ministry of Oil. The PetroChina-led consortium that includes TOTAL (18.75%) was awarded the development and production contract for the Halfaya field during the second call for tenders held in December 2009. This field is located in the

province of Missan, north of Basra. The agreement became effective in March 2010 and the preliminary development plan was approved by the Iraqi authorities in September 2010. Development operations started with the shooting of the 3D seismic survey, drilling and the construction of surface facilities. A production level of 70 kb/d of oil is expected to be reached in 2012.

InIran, the Group’s production under buy back agreements was zero in 2011, having been 2 kb/d in 2010 and 8 kb/d in 2009. For additional information on TOTAL’s operations in Iran, see “— Other Matters — Business Activities in Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria”.

InOman, the Group’s production was 36 kboe/d in 2011, stable compared to 2010 and 2009. TOTAL produces oil mainly on Block 6 as well as on Block 53 and liquefied natural gas through its stakes in the Oman LNG (5.54%)/Qalhat LNG (2.04%(1)) liquefaction plant, which has a capacity of 10.5 Mt/y.

InQatar, where TOTAL has had operations since 1936, the Group has equity stakes in the Al Khalij field (100%), the NFB Block (20%) in the North field, the Qatargas 1 liquefaction plant (10%), Dolphin (24.5%) and train 5 of Qatargas 2 (16.7%). The Group’s production was 155 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 164 kboe/d in 2010 and 141 kboe/d in 2009.

The production contract for Dolphin, signed in 2001 with state-owned Qatar Petroleum, provides for the sale of 2 Bcf/d of gas from the North Field for a 25-year period. The gas is processed in the Dolphin plant in Ras Laffan and exported to the United Arab Emirates through a 360 km gas pipeline.

Production from train 5 of Qatargas 2, which started in September 2009, reached its full capacity (7.8 Mt/y) at year-end 2009. TOTAL has owned an equity stake in this train since 2006. In addition, TOTAL takes part of the LNG produced in compliance with the contracts signed in 2006, which provide for the purchase of 5.2 Mt/y of LNG from Qatargas 2 by the Group.

The Group also has a 10% stake in Laffan Refinery, a condensate splitter with a capacity of 146 kb/d that started up in September 2009. Finally, since May 2011 the Group has been a partner (25%) in the offshore BC exploration license.

InSyria, TOTAL is present on the Deir Ez Zor license (100%, operated by DEZPC, 50% of which is owned by TOTAL) and through the Tabiyeh contract that became effective in October 2009. The Group’s production from these two assets was 53 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 39 kboe/d in 2010 and 20 kboe/d in 2009. In early December 2011, TOTAL ceased its activities that contribute to oil and gas production in Syria.

For additional information on TOTAL’s operations in Syria, see “— Other Matters — Business Activities in Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria”.

InYemen, where TOTAL has had operations since 1987, the Group’s production was 86 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 66 kboe/d in 2010 and 21 kboe/d in 2009.

TOTAL has an equity stake in the Yemen LNG project (39.62%). As part of this project, the Balhaf liquefaction plant on the southern coast of Yemen is supplied with the gas produced on Block 18, located near Marib in the center of the country, through a 320 km gas pipeline. The two liquefaction trains were commissioned in October 2009 and April 2010, respectively. The plant has a nominal capacity of 6.7 Mt/y of LNG.

TOTAL also has stakes in the country’s two oil basins, as the operator of Block 10 (Masila Basin, East Shabwa license, 28.57%) and as a partner on Block 5 (Marib Basin, Jannah license, 15%).

TOTAL owns stakes in four onshore exploration licenses: 40% in Blocks 69 and 71, 50.1% in Block 70 (operated by TOTAL since July 2010), and 36% in Block 72 (operated by TOTAL since October 2011).

In March 2012, TOTAL acquired a 40% interest in the Block 3 exploration license, which it will operate. The acquisition is subject to the approval of Yemen’s Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resources.

InYemen, TOTAL has been present since 1987 with production of 66 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 21 kboe/d in 2009 and 10 kboe/d in 2008.
TOTAL has an interest in the Yemen LNG project (39.62%). As part of this project, the liquefaction plant built in Balhaf on the southern coast of Yemen is supplied with the gas produced on Block 18, located near Marib in the center of the country, through a 320 km gas pipeline. The two liquefaction trains were commissioned in October 2009 and April 2010. Overall production capacity from both trains is 6.7 Mt/y of LNG.
TOTAL also has interests in the country’s two oil basins, as the operator on Block 10 (Masila Basin, East Shabwa license, 28.57%) and as a partner on Block 5 (Marib Basin, Jannah license, 15%).
In 2010, TOTAL consolidated positions in onshore exploration through the acquisition of a 36% interest in Block 72 and by increasing its interest to 50.1% from 30.9% in Block 70. TOTAL also acquired 40% interests in Blocks 69 and 71 in 2007. Appraisal of gas discoveries on Block 71 is underway. The first well drilled on Block 70 discovered positive oil shows. The potential of this discovery has yet to be assessed.

Gas & Power

The Gas & Power division is primarily focused on the optimization of the Group’s gas resources. The division is active in the transport, trading and marketing of natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and electricity, LNG re-gasification and natural gas storage. It is also engaged in shipping and trading of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), power generation from gas-fired power plants or renewable energies, and coal production, trading and marketing.

The Gas & Power division is also developing new energies that emit fewer greenhouse gases to complement hydrocarbons so as to meet the increasing global demand for energy. For this purpose, the Group has two main focuses:

the upstream/downstream integration of the solar photovoltaic channel (achieved through the acquisition of a 60% stake in SunPower in 2011);

the thermochemical and biochemical conversion of feedstock into fuels or chemicals.

In these fields, TOTAL pursues and strengthens R&D in solar energy, conversion processing of biomass, gas and coal, energy storage, carbon capture and storage and gas technologies.

In parallel, the Group is closely monitoring nuclear power generation and its outlook.

Liquefied natural gas

A pioneer in the LNG industry, TOTAL today ranks second worldwide among international oil companies(1) and has sound and diversified positions both in the upstream and downstream portions of the LNG chain. LNG development is key to the Group’s strategy, with TOTAL strengthening positions in most major production zones and markets.

Through its stakes in liquefaction plants located in Indonesia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Nigeria, Norway and, since 2009, Yemen, TOTAL markets LNG in all worldwide markets. In 2011, TOTAL sold 13.2 Mt of LNG, an increase of 7.3% compared to 2010 LNG sales (12.3 Mt) and of 48.3% compared to 2009 sales (8.9 Mt). The start-up of the Angola LNG plant in 2012, together with the Group’s liquefaction projects in Australia, Nigeria and Russia, are expected to allow for growth to continue in the coming years.

The Gas & Power division is responsible for LNG operations downstream from liquefaction plants.(2) It is in

charge of LNG marketing to third parties on behalf of the Exploration & Production division, building up the Group’s LNG portfolio for its trading, marketing and transport operations as well as re-gasification terminals.

InNigeria, TOTAL holds a 15% interest in the Nigeria LNG plant (NLNG). The Group signed an LNG purchase agreement, initially intended for deliveries to the United States and Europe, for an initial 0.23 Mt/y over a 23-year period starting in 2006, to which an additional 0.94 Mt/y was added when the sixth train came on stream in December 2007.

TOTAL also holds a 17% stake in the Brass LNG project, which calls for the construction of two liquefaction trains, each with a capacity of 5 Mt/y. In conjunction with this acquisition, TOTAL signed a preliminary agreement with Brass LNG Ltd setting forth the principal terms of an LNG purchase agreement for approximately one-sixth of the plant’s capacity over a 20-year period. This contract is subject to the final investment decision for the project by Brass LNG.

InNorway, as part of the Snøvhit project, in which the Group holds an 18.4% stake, TOTAL signed in 2004 a purchase agreement for 0.78 Mt/y of LNG over a 15-year period primarily intended for North America and Europe. Deliveries started in 2007.

InQatar, TOTAL signed purchase agreements in 2006 for 5.2 Mt/y of LNG from train 5 (TOTAL, 16.7%) of Qatargas 2 over a 25-year period. This LNG is expected to be marketed mainly in France, the United Kingdom and North America. LNG production from this train started in September 2009.

InYemen, TOTAL signed an agreement with Yemen LNG Ltd (TOTAL, 39.62%) in 2005 to purchase 2 Mt/y of LNG over a 20-year period, starting in 2009, which is initially intended for delivery in the United States and Europe. LNG production from Yemen LNG’s first and second trains started in October 2009 and April 2010, respectively.

Since 2009, part of the volume purchased by the Group pursuant to its long-term contracts related to the LNG projects mentioned above has been diverted to higher-value markets in Asia.

InAngola, TOTAL is involved in the construction of the Angola LNG liquefaction plant (TOTAL, 13.6%), which includes a 5.2 Mt/y train expected to start up in 2012. As

 

• the upstream/downstream integration of the solar photovoltaic channel;
• thermochemical and biochemical conversion of feedstock into fuels or chemicals; and
• nuclear power generation with the long-term objective of becoming a power plant operator.
In these fields, TOTAL pursues and strengthens R&D in solar energy, gas, coal and biomass conversion processes, energy storage, carbon capture and storage and gas technologies.

In conjunction with this acquisition, TOTAL signed an LNG purchase agreement for 0.9 Mt/y over a 15-year period. The final investment decision of the partners of the Ichthys LNG project was made in January 2012.

InChina, TOTAL signed in 2008 an LNG sale agreement with China National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC). This agreement, starting in 2010 for a 15-year period, provides for the supply by TOTAL of up to 1 Mt/y of LNG to CNOOC. The gas supplied comes from the Group’s global LNG portfolio.

InSouth Korea, TOTAL signed an LNG sale agreement in 2011 with Kogas. Under this agreement, TOTAL will deliver up to 2 Mt/y of LNG to Kogas between 2014 and 2031. This gas will come from the Group’s global LNG portfolio.

With regard to LNG transport operations, since 2004 TOTAL has been the direct long-term charterer of the Arctic Lady, a 145,000 m3 LNG tanker that ships TOTAL’s share of production from the Snøvhit liquefaction plant in Norway. In November 2011, TOTAL signed a second long-term contract for the chartering of a 165,000 m3 LNG tanker, the Maersk Meridian, in order to strengthen its transport capacities with regards again to its lifting commitments in Norway.

The Group also holds a 30% stake in Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT), which focuses mainly on the design and engineering of membrane cryogenic tanks for LNG tankers. At year-end 2011, out of a worldwide tonnage estimated at 386 LNG tankers(1), 258 active LNG tankers were equipped with membrane tanks built under GTT licenses.

Trading

In 2011, TOTAL continued to pursue its strategy of developing its operations downstream from natural gas and LNG production. The aim of this strategy is to optimize access for the Group’s current and future production to traditional markets (with long-term contracts) and to markets open to international competition (with short-term contracts and spot sales). In the context of deregulated markets, which allow customers to more freely access suppliers, in turn leading to new marketing arrangements

At year-end 2010, 245 active LNG tankers were equipped with membrane tanks built under GTT licenses out of a world tonnage estimated at 367 LNG tankers.(1)
Trading
In 2010, TOTAL continued to pursue its strategy of developing its operations downstream from natural gas and liquefied natural gas production in order to optimize access for the Group’s current and future production to traditional markets (with long-term contracts) and to markets open to international competition (with short-term contracts and spot sales). In the context of deregulated markets, which allow customers to more freely access suppliers, in turn leading to new marketing arrangements that are more flexible than traditional long-term contracts, TOTAL is developing trading, marketing and logistics businesses to offer its natural gas and LNG production directly to customers.
In parallel, the Group has operations in electricity trading and LPG and coal marketing. Teams of the Gas & Power division are located mainly in London, Houston and Geneva.
Gas and electricity
TOTAL has gas and electricity trading operations in Europe and North America with a view to selling the Group’s production and supplying its marketing subsidiaries.
InEurope, TOTAL marketed 1,278 Bcf (36.2 Bm3) of natural gas in 2010, compared to 1,286 Bcf (36.5 Bm3) in 2009 and 1,240 Bcf (35.2 Bm3) in 2008, approximately 14% of which came from the Group’s production. In addition, TOTAL marketed 27.1 TWh of electricity in 2010, compared to 35 TWh in 2009 and 38.5 TWh in 2008, which came mainly from external sources.
InNorth America, TOTAL marketed 1,798 Bcf (51 Bm3) of natural gas in 2010, compared to 1,586 Bcf (45 Bm3) in 2009 and approximately 1,652 Bcf (46.9 Bm3) in 2008, supplied by its own production or external sources.
LNG
TOTAL has LNG trading operations through spot sales and fixed-term contracts. Since 2009, new purchase (Qatargas 2, Yemen LNG) and sale (CNOOC) agreements resulted in the substantial development of the Group’s LNG marketing operations. This spot and fixed-term LNG portfolio allows TOTAL to supply its main customers worldwide with gas, while retaining a certain degree of flexibility to react to market opportunities.
In 2010, TOTAL purchased ninety-four contractual cargos and twelve spot cargos from Qatar, Yemen, Nigeria, Norway, Russia and Egypt, compared to twenty-three and twelve, respectively, in 2009.
LPG
In 2010, TOTAL traded and sold approximately 4.5 Mt of LPG (butane and propane) worldwide, compared to 4.4 Mt in 2009 and 5.2 Mt in 2008. Approximately 27% of these quantities come from fields or refineries operated by the Group. LPG trading involved the use of five time-charters, representing 100 voyages in 2010, and approximately 150 spot charters.
Coal
In 2010, the Group marketed 7.3 Mt of coal in the international market, compared to 7.3 Mt in 2009 and 8.4 Mt in 2008. More than half of this coal comes from South Africa, with three quarters exported to Asia, where it is mainly intended for power generation, and the remaining quarter exported to Europe.
Marketing
To unlock value from the Group’s production, TOTAL has gradually developed gas, electricity and coal marketing operations with end users in the United Kingdom, France and Spain.
In theUnited Kingdom, TOTAL sells gas and power to the industrial and commercial segments through its subsidiary Total Gas & Power Ltd. In 2010, volumes of gas sold amounted to 173 Bcf (4.9 Bm3), compared to 130 Bcf (3.7 Bm3) in 2009 and 134 Bcf (3.8 Bm3) in 2008. Electricity sales amounted to approximately 4.1 TWh in 2010, stable compared to 2009, and 4.6 TWh in 2008.
InFrance, TOTAL markets natural gas through its subsidiary Total Énergie Gaz (TEGAZ), the overall sales of which were 226 Bcf (6.4 Bm3) in 2010, compared to 208 Bcf (5.9 Bm3) in 2009 and 229 Bcf (6.5 Bm3) in 2008. The Group also markets coal to its French customers through its subsidiary CDF Energie, with sales of

that are more flexible than traditional long-term contracts, TOTAL is developing trading, marketing and logistics businesses to offer its natural gas and LNG production directly to customers.

In parallel, the Group has operations in electricity trading and LPG as well as coal marketing.

Furthermore, in 2011 TOTAL began to market the petcoke production of the Port Arthur refinery (United States) on the international market.

TOTAL has gas and electricity trading operations in Europe and North America with a view to selling the Group’s production and supplying its marketing subsidiaries.

InEurope, TOTAL marketed 1,500 Bcf (42.5 Bm3) of natural gas in 2011, compared to 1,278 Bcf (36.2 Bm3) in 2010 and 1,286 Bcf (36.5 Bm3) in 2009, including approximately 12% coming from the Group’s production. In addition, TOTAL marketed 24.2 TWh of electricity in 2011, compared to 27.1 TWh in 2010 and 35 TWh in 2009, which came mainly from external resources.

InNorth America, TOTAL marketed 1,694 Bcf (48 Bm3) of natural gas in 2011, compared to 1,798 Bcf (51 Bm3) in 2010 and 1,586 Bcf (45 Bm3) in 2009, supplied by its own production or external resources.

LNG

TOTAL has LNG trading operations through spot sales and fixed-term contracts as described in “— Liquefied natural gas” above. Since 2009, new purchase agreements (Qatargas 2, Yemen LNG) and new sale agreements (China, India, Thailand, South Korea and Japan) have substantially developed the Group’s LNG marketing operations, particularly in Asia’s most buoyant markets. This spot and fixed-term LNG portfolio allows TOTAL to supply gas to its main customers worldwide, while retaining a sufficient degree of flexibility to react to market opportunities.

In 2011, TOTAL purchased 99 contractual cargos and 10 spot cargos from Qatar, Yemen, Nigeria, Norway, Russia and Egypt, compared to 94 and 12, respectively, in 2010 and 23 and 12, respectively, in 2009.

LPG

In 2011, TOTAL traded and sold approximately 5.7 Mt of LPG (butane and propane) worldwide, compared to 4.5 Mt in 2010 and 4.4 Mt in 2009. Approximately 28% of these quantities came from fields or refineries operated by the Group. LPG trading involved the use of 7 time-charters, representing 188 voyages in 2011, and approximately 142 spot charters.

Coal

In 2011, TOTAL marketed 7.5 Mt of coal in the international market, compared to 7.3 Mt in 2010 and 2009. Approximately 70% of this coal comes from South Africa. More than three-quarters of the volume was sold in Asia, where coal is used primarily to generate electricity, with the remaining volume marketed in Europe.

Petcoke

In 2011, TOTAL began to market the petcoke produced by the coker at the Port Arthur refinery. Approximately 0.6 Mt of petcoke was sold on the international market in 2011 to cement plants and electricity producers, mainly in Mexico, Brazil, Turkey and China.

Marketing

To unlock value from the Group’s production, TOTAL has gradually developed gas, electricity and coal marketing operations with end users in the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Germany.

In theUnited Kingdom, TOTAL sells gas and power to the industrial and commercial segments through its subsidiary Total Gas & Power Ltd. In 2011, volumes of gas sold amounted to 162 Bcf (4.6 Bm3), compared to 173 Bcf (4.9 Bm3) in 2010 and 130 Bcf (3.7 Bm3) in 2009. Sales of electricity totaled approximately 4.1 TWh in 2011, stable compared to 2010 and 2009.

InFrance, TOTAL markets natural gas through its subsidiary Total Energie Gaz (TEGAZ), the overall sales of which were 208 Bcf (5.9 Bm3) in 2011, compared to 226 Bcf (6.4 Bm3) in 2010 and 208 Bcf (5.9 Bm3) in 2009. The Group also markets coal to its French customers through its subsidiary CDF Energie, with sales of approximately 1.2 Mt in 2011, compared to 1.3 Mt in 2010 and 1 Mt in 2009.

InSpain, TOTAL markets natural gas to the industrial and commercial segments through Cepsa Gas Comercializadora, in which it holds a 35% stake. In 2011, volumes of gas sold amounted to 85 Bcf (2.4 Bm3), like in 2010 and compared to 70 Bcf (2 Bm3) in 2009.

InGermany, Total Energie created a marketing subsidiary in 2010, Total Energy Gas GmbH, which began

commercial operations in 2011, making its first sales to industrial customers and service companies.

The Group also holds stakes in the marketing companies that are associated with the Altamira and Hazira LNG re-gasification terminals located in Mexico and India, respectively.

Gas facilities

TOTAL develops and operates its natural gas transport networks, gas storage facilities (both liquid and gaseous) and LNG re-gasification terminals downstream from its natural gas and LNG production.

Transport of natural gas

InFrance, the Group’s transport operations located in the southwest of the country are grouped under Total Infrastructures Gaz France (TIGF), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group. This subsidiary operates a regulated transport network of 5,000 km of gas pipelines. As part of the development of Franco-Spanish interconnections, TOTAL decided in 2011 to complete the Euskadour (France-Spain link) project with commissioning scheduled in 2015. This decision followed the decisions made in 2010 to invest in the Artère du Béarn and Girland gas pipeline projects (reinforcement of Artère de Guyenne), with commissioning scheduled in 2013.

Another highlight of 2011 was the implementation by TIGF of the Third Energy Package adopted by the European Union in July 2009, which entails splitting network operations from production and supply operations.

InSouth America, TOTAL owns interests in several natural gas transport companies in Argentina, Chile and Brazil. These assets represent a total integrated network of approximately 9,500 km of pipelines serving the Argentinean, Chilean and Brazilian markets from gas-producing basins in Bolivia and Argentina, where the Group has natural gas reserves. These natural gas transport companies are challenged by a difficult operational and financial environment in Argentina stemming from the absence of an increase in transport tariffs and the restrictions imposed on gas exports. The Group successfully negotiated in 2011 financial arrangements with some of its customers, which resulted in a significant improvement in earnings for GasAndes, a company in which TOTAL holds a 56.5% stake.

Storage of natural gas and LPG

InFrance, the Group’s storage operations located in the southwest are grouped under TIGF. This subsidiary operates two storage units under a negotiated legal regime with a usable capacity of 92 Bcf (2.6 Bm3).


approximately 1.3 Mt in 2010, compared to 1 Mt in 2009 and 1.9 Mt in 2008.
InSpain, TOTAL markets natural gas to the industrial and commercial segments through Cepsa Gas Comercializadora(1). In 2010, volumes of gas sold amounted to 85 Bcf (2.4 Bm3), compared to approximately 70 Bcf (2 Bm3) in 2009 and 2008.
The Group also holds interests in the marketing companies that are associated with the Altamira and Hazira LNG re-gasification terminals located in Mexico and India, respectively.

Through its 35.5% stake in Géométhane, TOTAL owns natural gas storage in a salt cavern in Manosque with a capacity of 10.5 Bcf (0.3 Bm3). A proposed 7 Bcf (0.2 Bm3) increase in storage capacity was approved in February 2011, with commissioning scheduled in 2017-2018.

InIndia, TOTAL holds a 50% stake in South Asian LPG Limited (SALPG), a company that operates an underground import and storage LPG terminal located on the east coast of the country. This cavern, the first of its kind in India, has a storage capacity of 60 kt. In 2011, inbound vessels transported 850 kt of LPG, compared to 779 kt in 2010 and 606 kt in 2009.

LNG re-gasification

TOTAL has entered into agreements to obtain long-term access to LNG re-gasification capacity on the three continents that are the largest consumers of natural gas: North America (the United States and Mexico), Europe (France and the United Kingdom), and Asia (India). This diversified presence allows the Group to access new liquefaction projects by becoming a long-term buyer of a portion of the LNG produced at these plants, thereby strengthening its LNG supply portfolio.

InFrance, TOTAL holds a 27.6% stake in Société du Terminal Méthanier de Fos Cavaou (STMFC) and has, through its affiliate Total Gas & Power, a re-gasification capacity of 2.25 Bm3/y. The terminal received 59 vessels in 2011.

In 2011, TOTAL acquired a 9.99% stake in Dunkerque LNG (EDF 65%, operator) in order to develop a methane terminal project with a capacity of 13 Bm3/y. Trade agreements have also been signed which allow TOTAL to reserve up to 2 Bm3/y of re-gasification capacity over a 20-year period. Commissioning of the terminal is scheduled for the end of 2015.

In theUnited Kingdom, through its equity interest in the Qatargas 2 project, TOTAL holds an 8.35% stake in the South Hook LNG re-gasification terminal and an equivalent right of use to the terminal. Phase 2 of the terminal was commissioned in April 2010, which increased the terminal’s total capacity to 742 Bcf/y (21 Bm3/y). The terminal operates at nearly 80% of its capacity and in 2011 re-gasified nearly 100 cargoes from Qatar.

Carbochemistry

DME

InJapan, TOTAL is involved with eight Japanese companies in a program intended to heighten consumer awareness of DME (Di-Methyl Ether), a new generation fuel. The 80 kt/y production plant (TOTAL, 10%), located in Niigata, started up in 2009.
InSweden, TOTAL is involved in the “bio-DME” European project, which is intended to test the whole DME chain, from its production using black liquor, a paper pulp residue, to its use by a fleet of trucks in four Swedish cities. Productionstart-up at the pilot plant located in Pitea is expected in the first half of 2011.
Carbon capture and storage

TOTAL is involved in a program to develop new carbon capture and storage technologies to reduce the environmental footprint of the Group’s industrial projects based on fossil energy.

In partnership with the FrenchIFP Énergies Nouvelles(French (French Institute for Oil and New Energies Institute)Alternative Energies), TOTAL is involved in an R&D program related to chemical looping combustion, a new process to burn solid and gas feedstock that includes carbon capture at a very low energy cost. In 2010, this partnership resulted in the construction of a demonstration pilot at the Solaize site (France).in France. A large-scale pilot is expected to be commissioned in 2013.

The Group is also involved in the EU-co-funded Carbolab project that intends to validate the carbon storage technology in coal seams.seams and coalbed methane recovery.

DME

TOTAL is involved in the European “Bio-DME” project in Sweden, the goal of which is to validate a di-methyl ether

(DME) production chain through gasification of black liquor generated by a pulp mill. The pilot plant located in Pitea successfully came into production at the end of 2011. To date, three metric tons of bio-DME that meet the Group’s specifications for use as fuel have already been produced.

In addition, to support the commercial development of DME, TOTAL is involved with eight Japanese companies in a program intended to heighten consumers’ awareness of this new fuel in Japan. The 80 kt/y production plant (TOTAL, 10%), located in Niigata, started up in 2009.

Finally, via the International DME Association (IDA), TOTAL is participating in studies on the combustion of blends that include DME and in standardization efforts regarding the use of DME as fuel.

DOWNSTREAM

Downstream

The 2011 Downstream segment comprisescomprised TOTAL’s Refining & Marketing and Trading & Shipping divisions.

In October 2011, the Group announced a proposed reorganization of its Downstream and Chemicals segments. The procedure for informing and consulting with employee representatives took place and the reorganization became effective on January 1, 2012.

This led to organizational changes, with the creation of:

A Refining & Chemicalssegment, a large industrial center that encompasses refining, petrochemicals,

fertilizers and specialty chemicals operations. This segment also includes oil trading and shipping activities.

A Supply & Marketing segment, which is dedicated to worldwide supply and marketing activities in the oil products field.

The Downstream activities described below, including the data as of December 31, 2011, are presented based on the organization in effect up to December 31, 2011.

TotalErg has become the third largest operator in the Italian market.(3) In addition, in the United Kingdom, TOTAL offered for sale in 2010 its marketing business and the Lindsey refinery.

In February 2011, TOTAL announced that it had signed an agreement to sell to IPIC its 48.83% interest in CEPSA pursuant to a public takeover bid on the entire share capital of CEPSA. The transaction is conditioned on obtaining all requisite approvals. In operating terms inWith respect to Refining & Marketing operations, this sale concerns mainly four Spanish refineries (Huelva, Algesiras,Algeciras, Tenerife, Tarragone)Tarragona) and some marketing activities in Spain and Portugal.

Refining

TOTAL holds interestshas equity stakes in twenty-fourtwenty refineries (including ten that it operates), located in Europe, the United States, the French West Indies, Africa and China. Highlights of 2010 included a slight recovery of the refining environment that led to improved refining margins in refineries worldwide, even though margins are still recording low levels.

In 2010,2011, TOTAL continued its program of selective investments in Refining, focusingwhich is focused on three areas: pursuing major ongoing projects (deep conversion at the Port Arthur refinery and construction of the Jubail refinery),

adapting the European refining system to structural market changes, and strengtheningincreasing safety and energy efficiency.

InWestern Europe, TOTAL’s refining capacity was 1,792 kb/d in 2011, compared to 2,049 kb/d in 2010 and 2,282 kb/d in 2009, accounting for 85% of the Group’s overall refining capacity. The decrease in 2011 was due to the sale of the Group’s stake in CEPSA. The Group operates nine refineries in Western Europe and owns stakes in the Schwedt refinery in Germany and two refineries in Italy through its interest in TotalErg.

InFrance, where it owns five refineries, the Group continues to adapt its refining capacities and shift the production emphasis to diesel, in a context of structural decline in petroleum products demand in Europe and an increase in gasoline surpluses.

In

The oil markets had ended 2010 significantly up, driven by the very strong upturn in demand for oil (+2.8 Mb/d). The outbreak of war in Libya in February 2011 quickly deprived the oil market of 1.6 Mb/d of crude supply. On the international markets, the shutdown of Libyan crude production was markedaggravated by recovering demand, due mainlyproduction losses in Nigeria (through attacks on oil infrastructure and diversion of the oil), Angola (with technical problems on several fields), Yemen (through attacks on oil infrastructure) and Syria (due to economic growth in emerging countries (China, India, Latin America, the Middle East)embargo). Meanwhile,The resulting crude oil deficit was offset mainly by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, which all increased their production

considerably, thereby reducing the surplus available production capacity. Production in Libya gradually started up again from September 2011 and reached around 0.9 Mb/d at the end of 2011.

Overall in 2011, OPEC crude oil production was estimated to be slightly down compared to 2010 (-0.1 Mb/d), as was non-OPEC crude production (-0.2 Mb/d). The production of other liquids productionin 2011 (LPG, LNG, biofuels) outsiderose (+0.5 Mb/d).

With regard to demand, the significant price rise and generally weaker economic growth than in 2010 slowed

growth in oil demand, which fell from +2.8 Mb/d in 2010 to +0.5 Mb/d in 2011.

In this environment, crude oil prices, which started rising at the beginning of OPEC countries grew rapidlythe year, increased from an average of approximately $96/b (ICE Brent 1st Line) in January 2011 to $123/b in April 2011 while the market adjusted to the loss of Libyan supply. Prices fell slightly in the second half of 2011, particularly under the effect of the IEA’s emergency stock release (60 Mb offered, 35 Mb delivered) and the partial resumption of Libyan production. Crude oil prices remained high however, reaching an annual average in 2011 of $110.91/b.

As a result of the backwardation in the price structure on the crude oil market for almost the entire year, 2011 was also marked by a sharp fall in OECD oil industry inventories through October 2011 (year-on-year, crude -70 Mb and products -46 Mb), which diminished in the last 2 months of the year with the rise in Libyan crude production from OPEC countries increased only slightly despite(December 2011 year-on-year, crude -26 Mb and

products -36 Mb).

2011 also saw a softeningwidening of quotas that have been effective since year-end 2008. The increasethe price differential between WTI crude (confined to the central United States) and Brent crude (delivered in global oil storage, which has prevailed since early 2008, finally stopped in mid-2010 with a first major decrease mainlythe North Sea and accessible internationally). While Brent was experiencing upward pressure due to the strong increasebalance of crude oil on the international market, WTI was under downward pressure from a continuous rise in demandlocal production and exports from Canada, the combination of which exceeded local refining capacity requirements and potential exports outside the region. The price of WTI thus rose less quickly than Brent, increasing the gap to almost -$28/b in mid-October (at the height of the upward pressure on Brent).

The gap was more than halved at the end of the year, particularly with the announcement of the planned reversal of the Seaway pipeline, which should ease the pressure from the surplus of crude weighing down markets in the third quarter of 2010. Following this reversal, oil storage at year-end 2010 was at the year-end 2009 level.central United States.

 

Shipping

The

TOTAL’s Shipping division arranges the transportation of crude oil and refined products necessary to develop the Group’s activities. These needs are met through transactions on the spot market and the development of a balanced time charter policy. It has a rigorous safety policy that is due mainly to the strict selection of the vessels that the division charters. Like a certain number of other oil companies and shipowners, the Group uses freight rate derivative contracts in its shipping activity to adjust its exposure to freight-ratefreight rate fluctuations.

In 2010, the2011, TOTAL’s Shipping division chartered approximately 2,9003,000 voyages to transport approximately 119 Mt.110 Mt of crude oil and refined products. As of December 31, 2010, the Group2011, it employed a fleet of forty-sevenfifty vessels chartered under long-term or medium-term agreements (including fiveeight LPG carriers and no single-hulled vessels).carriers), of which none is single-hulled. The fleet has an average age of approximately fourfive years.

In 2010, the tanker freight market suffered strong fluctuations.
Highlights of

2011 was a particularly eventful and difficult period for oil shipping activities.

During the first half of 2010 included:2011, events in Japan and North Africa had a strong impact on crude oil imports. Requirements in Japan fell suddenly and very markedly, but were quickly restored and returned to almost pre-crisis levels by the end of 2011. In the end, the impact on demand for shipping was relatively limited. In the Mediterranean, the shutdown of Libyan production resulted in the rebalancing of demand for long-haul VLCC shipments: imports, particularly to Europe, were offset by supply from further away, thus increasing the demand for transportation.

• increased crude oil imports to consumer countries, driven by the economic recovery and increased

On a more global level, the market was buoyed by demand from China, which is still growing strongly, and to a lesser extent the United States.


Despite this generally favorable demand structure, the freight market operated at overcapacity for most of 2011. Very few ships were decommissioned and 2011 saw a steady stream of new vessels being delivered as a result of the many orders placed by shipowners in 2007 and 2008.

onshore and offshore crude oil storage in the United States, Europe and China; and
• the resumption of crude oil floating storage that involved up to forty-five vessels in early May 2010 and resulted in limited growth of the active fleet of tankers despite the disposal of fewer vessels than expected.
The combination of these two trends led toThis situation severely damaged the relative resiliencefundamentals of the freight market for crude oil transport as recordedtransport. Following the extremely cold weather at the beginning of 2011, which sustained rates for a time, there was a collapse in the first half of 2010.

 

However, from

second quarter that left the second half of 2010, the fundamentals of the freight market deteriorated sharply, leading toat a collapse of freight rates at the end of July. This trend was the result of the sustained growth of the active fleet duehistoric low. With regard to the significant decrease in floating storage andproduct tanker market, the continued growth ofsituation remains

poor worldwide, with transatlantic traffic to the fleet.United States particularly slow.

 

CHEMICALS

Throughout 2010, the number of new vessels delivered by shipyards exceeded the number of vessels disposed of, despite the entry into force of the international regulation providing for the gradual disposal of single-hulled vessels, which led to an oversupply of vessels compared to demand for transport.

Chemicals

The 2011 Chemicals segment includesincluded the Base Chemicals (petrochemicals and fertilizers businesses) and Specialty Chemicals divisions:
• Base Chemicals encompasses the Group’s petrochemicals and fertilizers businesses; and
• Specialty Chemicals encompasses the Group’s rubber processing, resins, adhesives and electroplating businesses.
(elastomer processing, adhesives and electroplating chemistry businesses) divisions. TOTAL is one of the world’s largest integrated chemical producers.(1)

In October 2011, the Group announced a proposed reorganization of its Downstream and Chemicals segments. The procedure for informing and consulting with employee representatives took place and the reorganization became effective on January 1, 2012.

This led to organizational changes, with the creation of:

A Refining & Chemicalssegment, a large industrial center that encompasses refining, petrochemicals, fertilizers and specialty chemicals operations. This

segment also includes oil trading and shipping activities.

A Supply & Marketing segment, which is dedicated to worldwide supply and marketing activities in the oil products field.

The Chemicals activities described below, including the data as of December 31, 2011, are presented based on the organization in effect up to December 31, 2011.

Base Chemicals

The Base Chemicals division includes TOTAL’s petrochemicals and fertilizers activities.

In 2010,2011, the Base Chemicals division’s sales were €10.712.7 billion, compared to €8.710.7 billion in 20092010 and €13.28.7 billion in 2008. The 2010 market environment for Base Chemicals was marked by recovering demand for petrochemical products and improved integrated margins. The2009.

InAsia, TOTAL owns, in partnership with Samsung, a 50% interest in the Daesan integrated petrochemical site located in Daesan, South Korea.Korea (steam cracker, styrene, paraxylene, polyolefins). The Group is also active through its polystyrene plants located in Singapore and Foshan (China) plants.

.

InQatar, the Group holds interests in two steam crackers and several polyethylene lines.

Most of these sites are either adjacent to or connected by pipelines to Group refineries. As a result, most of TOTAL’s petrochemical operations are closely integrated within refining operations.

TOTAL continues to strengthen its leadership positions in the industry by focusing on the following three main strategic areas:

InEurope, TOTAL is improving the competitiveness of its long-established sites notably through cost management, better energy efficiency at its facilities and increased flexibility in the choice of feedstock.

• In mature markets, TOTAL is improving the competitiveness of its long-established sites notably through cost management, better energy efficiency at its facilities and more flexibility in the choice of feedstock.

In an increasingly competitive environment, the Group launched two reorganization plans mainly for the sites in Carling (eastern France) and Gonfreville (northwestern France):

sites:

 

The first plan, launched in 2006, called for the closure of aone of the steam crackercrackers and the styrene plant at Carling and the construction of a new world-class(1) styrene plant at Gonfreville to replace the plant closed in late 2008. The reorganization plan was completed in the first quarter of 2009.

 

The second plan, launched in 2009, is focused on a consolidation project to improve sitesthe sites’ competitiveness. This project includes a plan to upgrade the Group’s most efficient units by investing approximately €230230 million over three years to increase energy efficiency and competitiveness of the steam cracker and the high-density polyethylene unit in Gonfreville, and to consolidate polystyrene production at the Carling facility. It also includes the shutdown of two structurally loss-making units:units, effective from the end of 2009: two low-density polyethylene lines, one in Carling and one in Gonfreville, and a polystyrene line in Gonfreville. The three lines were shut down at year-end 2009. This reorganization plan is also intended forimpacted the support services at both sites and the central services at Total Petrochemicals France.

Furthermore, following the

Following its sole customer’s termination of the supply contract for the secondary butyl alcohol produced at the Notre-Dame-de-Gravenchon facility in Normandy, this dedicated facility had to be closed in the second half of 2010.

At the end of 2011, TOTAL signed an agreement relating to the acquisition of 35% of ExxonMobil’s stake in Fina Antwerp Olefins, Europe’s second largest base petrochemicals (monomers) production plant. Following approval by the relevant authorities, the transaction was finalized in February 2012 and TOTAL became the sole shareholder in Fina Antwerp Olefins on March 1, 2012. The acquisition will open new

opportunities to strengthen the competitiveness of the assets and to pursue integration which is one of the foundations of Total’s strategy.

In theUnited States, TOTAL and BASF purchased in 2011 Shell’s stake in Sabina, one of the largest butadiene production plants in the world. TOTAL and BASF are now the only two shareholders in Sabina, with stakes of 40% and 60%, respectively. This new structure will allow for increased synergies with the TOTAL refinery and the jointly-owned steam cracker (TOTAL 40%, BASF 60%) located on the same site in Port Arthur, Texas.

InAlgeria, TOTAL and Sonatrach, the Algerian state-owned oil company, are studying a project to build a petrochemical site in Arzew. This world class project would include an ethane-based steam cracker with production capacity of 1.1 Mt/y, two polyethylene units and a monoethylene glycol production unit. It would benefit from favorable access to ethane gas, a particularly competitive raw material, and would be ideally located to supply Europe, the Americas and Asia.
InChina, TOTAL and China Power Investment Corporation signed in November 2010 an agreement to study a project to build acoal-to-olefins plant and a polyolefins plant. TOTAL will bring to this partnership its expertise in the Methanol to Olefinsmethanol-to-olefins (MTO) and the Olefin Cracking Processolefin cracking process (OCP) technologies that Total Petrochemicals has tested extensively at its purpose-built semi-commercial plant in Feluy, Belgium. TOTAL will also study solutions with respect to carbon capture and storage (CCS) using the know-how gained from its CCS pilot project in Lacq, France.

Base petrochemicals

Base petrochemicals includeincludes olefins and aromatics (monomers) produced by the steam cracking of petroleum cuts, mainly naphtha and LPG, or of gas as well as propylene and aromatics manufactured in the Group’s refineries. The economic environment for these activities is strongly influenced by the balance between supply and demand and changes in feedstock prices, especially naphtha.

TOTAL is consolidatingexpanding its positions in Asia and the Middle East with thestart-up of the Ras Laffan steam cracker in 2010 in Qatar and continued investments to increase capacities in South Korea. In Europe and the United States, TOTAL is improving energy efficiency at its sites, strengthening synergies with refining and increasing the flexibility of the steam cracker feedstock.

PolyethylenePolyolefins

TOTAL’s strategy for polyolefins (polyethylene, polypropylene) is based on lowering the breakeven point of its plants in Europe and the United States and continuing to differentiate its range of products, while meeting new market requirements for sustainable development. The Group is also continuing to expand its activities in growth areas, mainly through its stakes in joint ventures in South Korea and Qatar.

Polyethylene: Polyethylene is a plastic produced byresulting from the polymerization of ethylene manufactured inproduced by the Group’s steam crackers. It is primarily intended for the packaging, automotive, food, cable and pipe markets. Margins are strongly influenced by the level of demand and the price of ethylene. In Europe, margins are impacted by competition from expanding production in the Middle East, which benefits from favorable access to ethane, the raw material used in ethylene production.

Styrenics

This business activity includes the production of styrene and polystyrene. Most of the styrene manufactured by the Group is used to produce polystyrene, a plastic principally used in food packaging, insulation, refrigeration, domestic appliances and electronic devices. Margins are strongly influenced by the level of polystyrene demand and the price of benzene, which is polystyrene’sstyrene’s principal raw material.

After two years of decrease, the global styrene

The worldwide styrenics market increased by approximately 2% in 2010 thanks to the resilience of the automotive, electronics and insulation markets. The global polystyrene market also increased in 2010,2011, driven by domestic demandAsia, while the markets in China.

Europe and the United States remained practically stable. Margins were low on the highly competitive European and Asian markets, but remained high in the United States.


In 2010, TOTAL’s polystyrene sales volumes increased by 1.5% consistently4% in all geographical areas. Styrene margins remained weak2011.

The Group continues to expand its styrenics business. In Feluy, Belgium, TOTAL is building a new-generation expandable polystyrene manufacturing plant. Start-up is scheduled for early 2013. The expandable polystyrene is intended for the insulation market, which is experiencing strong growth. In China, TOTAL doubled the capacity of the Foshan compact polystyrene plant to 200 kt/y in 2010 whereas polystyrene margins strongly increased due to the market stabilization and capacity reductions in mature areas.

Fertilizers

Through its French subsidiary GPN, TOTAL manufactures and markets nitrogen fertilizers made from natural gas. Margins are strongly influenced by the price of natural gas.

 

In 2010 and 2011, GPN’s production was affected by a number of manufacturing incidents that resulted in long shutdowns for maintenance of the Grandpuits and Rouen ammonia plants in France and a reduction ofreduced production at the downstream plants’ productionplants (nitric acid, urea and ammonium nitrate). These incidents adversely affected GPN’sthe results of GPN, which could not take advantage of favorable global market conditions.

GPN’s plans were strengthened through two major investments: the improved European market.

The Fertilizersconstruction of a nitric acid plant in Rouen, which started up in the second half of 2009, and a urea plant in Grandpuits, the start-up of which was ongoing in March 2012. This additional urea production will enable GPN to position itself in the growing markets of products that contribute to reducing nitrogen oxide emissions(1): DeNOx® for industrial applications and Adblue® for transportation applications. An Adblue unit has been maintained at Oissel waiting for the start-up of the Grandpuits plant.

In France, three obsolete nitric acid units in Rouen and Mazingarbe were closed in 2009 and 2010.

GPN’s mines and quarries business continuedat the Mazingarbe site was divested in January 2011. Sales for the divested lines of business were30 million in 2010.

In November 2011, the Group initiated the process of divesting its major restructuring plan initiated since 2006:

• The complex fertilizers business was shut down in France, resulting in the closure of three sites (Bordeaux, Basse Indre and Granville). In addition, TOTAL sold its Dutch affiliate, Zuid Chemie, to Engrais Rosier (TOTAL, 57%).
• The core activity of the Fertilizers business, which is the production of nitrogen fertilizers, was strengthened through a major investment in the construction of a competitive nitric acid plant in Rouen, which started up in the second half of 2009, and a urea plant in Grandpuits, the start-up of which was ongoing in March 2011. This additional urea production enables GPN to position in the growing markets of products that contribute to reducing nitrogen oxide emissions(1): DENOX® for industrial applications, and Adblue® for transportation applications.
• In France, the Oissel site and three obsolete nitric acid units in Rouen and Mazingarbe were closed in 2009 and 2010.
• In early 2010, the Group launched a process to divest GPN’s mines and quarries business in Mazingarbe, northern France. This project was submitted for prior consultation with employee representative organizations and to the approval by the relevant authorities. This transaction was closed in January 2011.
This plan is expectedstake (50%) in Pec-Rhin. Having exercised its pre-emptive right on its partner’s 50%, GPN signed an agreement for the complete divestment of Pec-Rhin. Following approval by the relevant authorities, the disposal was finalized in January 2012. These actions are intended to improve the competitiveness of GPN by regrouping its operations at two sites that featurehave production capacity greater than the European average.

OTHER MATTERS

Various factors, including certain events or circumstances discussed below, have affected or may affect TOTAL’s business and results.

Exploration and production legal considerations

TOTAL’s exploration and production activitiesoperations are conducted in many differentvarious countries and are therefore subject to an extremelya broad range of regulations. These cover virtually all aspects of exploration and production activities, operations,

including matters such as leasehold rights, production rates, royalties, environmental protection, exports, taxes and foreign exchange rates. The terms of the concessions, licenses, permits and contracts governing the Group’s ownership of oil and gas interests vary from country to country. These concessions, licenses, permits and contracts are generally granted by or entered into with a government entity or a state-owned company and are sometimes entered into with private owners. These arrangements usually take the form of concessions or production sharing agreements.contracts.

 

(1)Based on publicly available information, consolidated sales.

The oil concession agreement remains the traditional model for agreements entered into with States: the oil company owns the assets and the facilities and is entitled to the entire production.

In exchange, the operating risks, costs and investments are the oil company’s responsibility and it agrees to remit to the relevant State, usually the owner of the subsoil resources, a production-based royalty, income tax, and possibly other taxes that may apply under local tax legislation.

The production sharing contract (PSC) involves a more complex legal framework than the concession agreement: it defines the terms and conditions of production sharing and sets the rules governing the cooperation between the company or consortium in possession of the license and the host State, which is generally represented by a state-owned company. The latter can thus be involved in operating decisions, cost accounting and production allocation.

The consortium agrees to undertake and finance all exploration, development and production activities at its own risk. In exchange, it is entitled to a portion of the production, known as “cost oil”, the sale of which should cover all of these expenses (investments and operating costs). The balance of production, known as “profit oil”, is then shared in varying proportions, between the company or consortium, on the one hand, and with the State or the state-owned company, on the other hand.

In some instances, concession agreements and PSCs coexist, sometimes in the same country. Even though there are other contractual structures still exist,models, TOTAL’s license portfolio is comprised mainly of concession agreements.

In all countries,every country, the authorities of the host State, often assisted by international accounting firms, perform joint venture and PSC cost audits and ensure the observance of contractual obligations.

In some countries, TOTAL has also signed contracts called “risked service contracts”, which are similar to production sharing contracts. However, the profit oil is replaced by risked monetary remuneration, agreed by contract, which depends notably on the field performance. Thus, the remuneration under the Iraqi contract is based on an amount calculated per barrel produced.

Hydrocarbon

Oil and gas exploration and production activities are subject to authorization granted by public authorities (permits)(licenses), which can be different for each of these activities. These permits are granted for specific and limited periods of time and include an obligation to return a large portion, or the entire portion in case of failure, the entire portion, of the permit area covered by the license at the end of the exploration period.

TOTAL is required to paypays taxes on income generated from its oil and gas production and sales activities under its concessions, production sharing contracts and risked service contracts, as provided for by local regulations. In addition, depending on the country, TOTAL’s production and salesales activities may be subject to a rangenumber of other taxes, fees and withholdings, including special petroleum taxes and fees. The taxes imposed on oil and gas production and salesales activities may be substantially higher than those imposed on other industrial or commercial businesses.

The legal framework of TOTAL’s exploration and production activities, established through concessions, licenses, permits and contracts granted by or entered into with a government entity, a state-owned company or, sometimes, private owners, is subject to certain risks whichthat, in certain cases, can diminishreduce or challenge the protections offered by this legal framework.

Industrial and environmental considerations

TOTAL’s activitiesoperations involve certain industrial and environmental risks which are inherent in the productionhandling, processing and use of products that are flammable, explosive, polluting or toxic. Its

The broad scope of TOTAL’s activities, which include drilling, oil and gas production, on-site processing, transportation, refining and petrochemical activities, storage and distribution of petroleum products, and production of base and specialty chemicals, involve a wide range of operational risks. Among these risks are therefore subject to government regulations concerning environmental protectionthose of explosion, fire, leakage of toxic products, and industrial safety in most countries. More specifically, in Europe, TOTAL


51


operates industrial sites that meetpollution. In the criteriatransportation area, the type of risk depends not only on the hazardous nature of the European Union Seveso II directive for classification as high-risk sites. Someproducts transported, but also on the transportation methods used (mainly pipelines, maritime, river-maritime, rail, road), the volumes involved, and the sensitivity of the regions crossed (quality of infrastructure, population density, environmental considerations).

Most of these activities also involve environmental risks related to emissions into the air, water or soil and the production of waste, and also require environmental site remediation and closure and decommissioning after production is discontinued.

The industrial events that can have the most significant impact are primarily a major industrial accident (fire, explosion, leakage of highly toxic products) or large-scale accidental pollution.

All the risks described correspond to events that could potentially cause injury or death, damage property and business activities, cause environmental damage or harm human health. TOTAL employees, contractors, residents

living near the facilities or customers can suffer injuries. Property damage can involve TOTAL’s operated sites in the United States are subject to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Materials,facilities as well as the property of third parties. The seriousness of the consequences of these events varies according to the vulnerability of the people, ecosystems and business activities impacted, on the one hand, and the number of people in the impact area and the location of the ecosystems and business activities in relation to TOTAL’s facilities or to the trajectory of the products after the event, on the other OSHA regulations.

hand.

Moreover, oil and gas exploration and production activities are particularly exposed to risks related to the physical characteristics of an oil or gas field. These risks include eruptions of crude oil or natural gas, which notably could result from drilling into abnormally pressurized hydrocarbon pockets.

TOTAL conforms to the REACH regulation, which purpose is to protect health and safety of products and chemical substances producers and users notably by providing detailed information through safety data sheets (SDS/ESDS). Like most other industrial groups, TOTAL is concerned by reports of occupational illnesses, in particular those caused by asbestos exposure. Asbestos exposure has been subject to close monitoring at all of the Group’s business units. As of December 31, 2011, the Group estimates that the ultimate cost of all asbestos-related claims paid or pending is not likely to have a material impact on the Group’s financial situation.

TOTAL’s entities actively monitor regulatory developments to comply with local and international rules and standards for the evaluation and management of industrial and environmental risks. In case of operations being stopped, the Group’s environmental contingencies and asset retirement obligations are addressed in “Asset retirement obligation” and “Provisions for environmental contingencies” in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Future expenses related to asset retirement obligations are accounted for in accordance with the principles described in paragraph Q of Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Health, safety and environment regulations

TOTAL is subject to extensive and increasingly strict health, safety and environmental (“HSE”) regulations in the European Union (“EU”), the United States and worldwide.

into national legislation by EU Member States by January 7, 2013. This Directive (“IPPC”) provides for a cost/benefit framework used to comprehensively assess the environmental quality standards of, and prior environmental impacts and potential additional emissions limits on, large industrial plants, including refineries and chemical sites. The Industrial Emission Directive (IED), adopted in 2010, is expected to replace in 2013replaced a number of existing industrial emission directives, including the IPPCIntegrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive (2008/1/EC — “IPPC”) and the Large Combustion Plant Directive. It will progressively result in stricter emission limits on some of TOTAL’s facilities by making compulsory certain rules described in BREFs (Best available techniques REFerence documents), some of which are dedicated to specific industrial sectors. Certain BREFs are already published and will be revised (e.g., refining), and others will have to be developed.Directive (2001/80/EC).

By imposing the reduction of emissions from industrial installations, the IED will progressively result in stricter emission limits on some of TOTAL’s facilities by making compulsory certain rules described in BREFs (Reference documents on Best Available Techniques).

The Air Quality Framework Directive (2008/50/CE) and related directives on ambient air quality assessment and management, among other things, limit emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, lead, carbon monoxide, benzene and ozone.

Existing directives controlling and limiting exhaust emissions from cars and other motor vehicles are expected to continue to become more stringent over time. Since 2009, a maximum sulphur content of 10 ppm is mandatory throughout the EU.

The Sulphur Content Directive (1999/32/EC, as amended) limits sulphur in diesel fuel to 0.1% (since January 2008) and limits sulphur in heavy fuel oil to 1% (since January 2003), with certain exceptions for combustion plants provided that local air quality standards are met.

The 1996 Major Hazards Directive (Seveso II) requires emergency planning, public disclosure of emergency plans, assessment of hazards and effective emergency management systems. A revision process is currently pending to strengthen rules on the control of major accident hazards involving chemicals. The revision will align the legislation to changes in EU chemicals law and will clarify and update other provisions, including introducing stricter inspection standards and improving the level and quality of information available to the public in the event of an accident. The new directive is expected to apply from June 1, 2015.

In October 2011, the European Commission proposed a regulation on the safety of offshore oil and gas activities. The regulation introduces rules for the effective prevention of and response to a major accident that would be immediately applicable to new installations and with transitional periods for existing installations.

Numerous directives regulate the classification, labeling and packaging of chemical substances and

On the one hand, the EU Parliament and Council adopted a regulation in December 2008 (now in force) on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures that incorporates the classification criteria and labelling rules agreed at the UN level (the so-called Globally HarmonisedHarmonized System of classificationClassification and labellingLabelling of Chemicals (GHS)).

On the other hand, the EU Member States, the European Commission and the European Chemical Agency are in the process of implementing the Regulationregulation adopted in 2006 for the Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) that replaces or complements the existing rules in this area. REACH required the pre-registration of chemical substances manufactured and imported into the EU by December 1, 2008, to qualify for full registration under a phase in during the period2010-2018. The European Commission notified that the European Chemical Agency received more than 3 million notifications related to chemical substances classification at the end of phase 1, in December 2010. This regulation requires the registration and identification of chemical substances manufactured or imported in EU Member States, and can result in restrictions on the sales or uses of such substances. GHS and REACH imposes substantial costswill require us to evaluate the hazards of our chemicals and products and may result in future changes to warning labels and material safety data sheets.

The Framework Directive on TOTAL’s operationsWaste Disposal is intended to ensure that waste is recovered or disposed of without endangering human health and without using processes or methods that could unduly harm the environment.

Those regulations, found in the three Maritime Safety Packages, require that tankers have double hulls and that ship owners acquire improved insurance coverage, mandate improvements to traffic monitoring, accident investigations and in-port vessel inspection (Port State Control: objective of 100% inspection in the EU), and further regulate organizations that inspect and confirm conformity to applicable regulations (Classification Societies). The last package will enter into force in 2012.

Numerous directives impose water quality standards based on the various uses of inland and coastal waters, including ground water, by setting limits on the discharges of many dangerous substances and by imposing information gathering and reporting requirements.

Adopted and effective since 2000, a comprehensive Water Framework Directive is progressively replacing numerous existing directives with a comprehensive set of requirements, including additional regulations obligating member countries to classify all water courses according to their biological, chemical and ecological quality, and to completely ban the discharges of approximately thirty toxic substances by 2017.

The law n° 2011-835 was adopted in France in July 2011 to prohibit the exploration and operation of shale gas by hydro-fracking technique and to repeal the exclusive research permits for projects using this technique. Consequently, the exclusive research permits issued to TOTAL at Montelimar (in the south of France) were repealed by the French Government. An administrative procedure is currently pending against this repeal.

In March 2004, the EU adopted a Directive on Environmental Liability (2004/35/EC). The Directive seeks to implement a strict liability approach for damage to water resources, soils and protected species and habitats by authorized industrial activities.

Directives implementing the Aarhus Convention of June 25, 1998, concerning public information rights and certain public participation rights in a variety of activities affecting the environment were adopted in January and May 2003, respectively. French regulations on public inquiry and impact assessment were adopted in 2011 and will enter into force on June 2012. These regulations aim to reinforce public participation and information rights concerning projects that could affect the environment.

In November 2008, the EU adopted a directive on the protection of the environment through criminal law that obliges EU Member States to provide for criminal penalties in respect of serious infringements of EC law (Directive 2008/99/EC). This directive was transposed in France in January 2012.

With respect to the climate change issue, numerous initiatives in the EU are pending or currently being revised, including:

• In March 2004, the European Union adopted a Directive on Environmental Liability. This Directive was transposed into EU Member State national legislations in 2007 and 2008, and in France in August 2008. The Directive seeks to implement a strict liability approach for damage to water resources, soils and protected species and habitats by authorized industrial activities.
• Directives implementing the Aarhus Convention concerning public information rights and certain public participation rights in a variety of activities affecting the environment were adopted in January and May 2003, respectively, and implemented in most national EU legislations.
• In November 2008, the European Union adopted a Directive on the protection of the environment through criminal law that obliges EU Member States to provide for criminal penalties in respect of serious infringements of EC law. EU Member States were to have transposed this Directive into their national legislation by December 26, 2010.
• TOTAL’s facilities in the EU are also subject to extensive workplace safety regulations initiated by the European Community and defined and promulgated by each Member State.
• With respect to the climate change issue, numerous initiatives in the European Union are pending or currently being revised, including:
 

A 2003 Directive implementing the Kyoto Protocol within the European UnionEU established an emissions trading

scheme effective as of January 2005 for greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions quotas. On the basis of this directive, carbon dioxide emissions permits are then delivered. This trading scheme required Member States to prepare, under the supervision of the EU Commission, national allocation plans identifying a global amount of quotas to be shared and delivered for free by the governments to each industrial installation offor specific sectors, in particular the energy intensive installations that have to surrender quotas inwith respect to their annually verified carbon dioxide emissions. In accordance with the 2009 revision of the aforementioned directive, a progressive quota auctioning mechanism is scheduled to be set up in 2013 together with transitional Community-wide rules for harmonized free allocation up to a level based on benchmarks for sectors exposed to international carbon leakage. These changes will end the free allocations for electricity production and have an expanded scope covering additional commercial sectors and emissions. When this system will beis established, TOTAL’s industrial facilities may incur capital and operating costs to comply with such legislation including the partial acquisition of emissions allowances.

 At the UN summit in Copenhagen in December 2009, world leaders recognized the need to limit global temperature increases to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, but did not approve an international agreement on climate change, which could result in a future stringent reduction of GHG emissions in the European Union.

The first period of the Kyoto Protocol is reaching an end in 2012. Although debates occurred at the 2009 UN Summit in Copenhagen, no decision as to thefollow-up was made. The Cancun UN conference at the end of 2010 reaffirmed the principles of Kyoto, but did not result in the adoption of any new legally binding agreement with respect to the continuation of the Kyoto Protocol. The nextDurban conference is expectedof November 2011 resulted in the Kyoto principles being extended post-2012 to permit the possible adoption by 2015 of another legally-binding international agreement to be held in Durban in late 2011.signed by the negotiating countries as well as by the United States together with China, India and certain other developing nations.

The Climate Action and Renewable Energy Package imposes an EU objective referred to as “3 x 20”, which commits EU Member States by 2020 to reduce overall GHG emissions to at least 20% below 1990 levels, by 2020, requires Member States to improve energy efficiency by 20% and to increase renewable energy usage. These latterusage by 20%. In 2011, the European Commission published its “Roadmap for moving to a competitive low-carbon economy in 2050” to look beyond these 2020 objectives and to set out a plan to meet the long-term target of reducing domestic emissions by 80 to 95% by mid-century. The sectors most responsible for emissions in the

EU (i.e., power generation, industry, transport, buildings and construction, as well as agriculture) are charged with making the transition to a low-carbon economy over the coming decades and these issues are expected to be further addressed in 2011 in a way likely tocould affect TOTAL’s operations in the future.

 

The 2009 Directive on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) was transposed in France in 2010. This legal framework forms the basis for developing CCS projects that are expected to serve as one of the most valuable solutions for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. Such regulations will have technical and financial impacts, including on TOTAL’s projects.

– In France, the provisions of the 2010 financial bill establishing a carbon tax was deemed unconstitutional and referred back to the French government, which did not make a new proposal. The provisions of the 2011 financial bill made subject to payment a minor part of GHG emission allowance delivery for 2011 and 2012, which was initially allocated for free in the national plan of2008-2012.

With respect to biodiversity issues, this subject is increasingly taken into consideration. Following the 2010 Nagoya summit, the UN’s 65th General Assembly decided to form the IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity) to share knowledge and future policies on biodiversity and ecosystem services.

The next UN Conference on Sustainable Development (“Rio +20”) is expected to be held in Rio in June 2012 and will focus on two themes: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication, and the institutional framework for sustainable development.

In the United States, where TOTAL’s operations are less extensive than in Europe, TOTAL is also subject to significant HSE regulations at both the state and federal levels. Of particular relevance to TOTAL’s lines of business are:

The Clean Air Act and its regulations, which require, among other measures: stricter phased-in fuel specifications and sulfur reductions; enhanced emissions controls and monitoring at major sources of volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, and other designated hazardous and non-hazardous air pollutants; GHG regulation; stringent pollutant emission limits; construction and operating permits for major air emission sources at chemical plants, refineries, marine and distribution terminals and other facilities; and risk management plans for the handling and storage of hazardous substances.

The Clean Water Act, which regulates the discharge of wastewater and other pollutants from both onshore and offshore operations and, among other measures, requires industrial facilities to obtain permits for most wastewater and surface water discharges, install control equipment and treatment systems, implement operational controls, and preventative measures, including spill prevention and control plans and practices to control storm water runoff.

 

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, which regulates the generation, storage, handling, treatment, transportation and disposal of hazardous waste and imposes corrective action requirements on regulated facilities requiring investigation and remediation of potentially contaminated areas at these facilities.

• 

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (also known as CERCLA or Superfund), under which waste generators, former and current site owners and operators, and certain other parties can be held jointly and severally liable for the entire cost of remediating active, abandoned or non-operating sites contaminated by releases of hazardous substances regardless of fault or the amount or share of hazardous substances sent by a party to a site. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has authority under Superfund to order responsible parties to clean up contaminated sites and may seek recovery of the government’s response costs from responsible parties. States have similar legal authority to compel site investigations and cleanups and to recover costs from responsible parties. The U.S. government and states may also sue responsible parties under CERCLA for injuriesdamage to natural resources (e.g., rivers and wetlands) arising from contamination.

National and international maritime oil spill laws, regulations and conventions, including the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, impose significant oil spill prevention requirements, spill response planning and training obligations, ship design requirements (including phased in double hull requirements for tankers), operational restrictions, spill liability for tankers and barges transporting oil, offshore oil platform facilities and onshore terminals and establishes an oil liability spill fund paid for by taxes on imported and domestic oil.

In the wake of the Deepwater Horizon accident, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement was replaced by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which is responsible for managing development of offshore resources, and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (“BSEE”), which is responsible for safety and environmental oversight of offshore oil and gas operations. The BSEE has implemented more stringent permitting requirements and oversight of offshore drilling. Among other changes, well design, casing and cementing standards have been upgraded and compliance must be certified by a professional engineer. In addition, plans must describe containment resources available in case of an underwater blowout

Similar initiatives are expected in Europe. The European Commission is considering amendments to several directives, including to the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive, Environmental Liability Directive or Seveso Directive.

Other significant U.S. environmental legislation includes the Toxic Substances Control Act, which regulates the development, testing, import, export and introduction of new chemical products into commerce, and the Emergency Planning and CommunityRight-to-Know Act, which requires emergency planning and spill notification as well as public disclosure of chemical usage and emissions.

TOTAL

TOTAL’s facilities in the United States are also subject to extensive workplace safety regulations promulgated by OSHA.the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”). Most notable among OSHA regulations is the Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals, (PSM), a comprehensive regulatory program that requires major industrial sources, including petroleum refineries and chemical manufacturing facilities, to undertake significant hazard assessments during the design of new industrial processes and during modifications to existing processes, as well as a comprehensive and continual monitoring and management process for these chemicals.

In 2009, the EPA issued a finding that

The EPA’s regulation of GHG emissions endanger public health and the environment. This endangerment finding allows the EPA to regulate these emissionsfrom industrial sources under the Clean Air Act. Based on its endangerment finding, the EPA issued final rules in 2010 that apply the federal Clean Air Act’s Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V operating permit programs to stationary sources of GHGs. GHG permitting requirements apply to certain stationary sources in two steps beginningformally commenced on January 2, 2011, with2011. The authority to regulate GHG emissions under the largest industrial facilities firstClean Air Act is the culmination of several EPA rulemakings promulgated in 2009 and 2010 as a result of the 2007 U.S. Supreme Court decision inMassachusetts v. EPAconfirming the authority of EPA to become subject to permitting.regulate GHG emissions under the Clean Air Act. Each of these rulemakings is under legal challenge. The EPA intends tomay issue future rulemakings, beyond 2011,regulations requiring additional industry sectors to report GHG emissions and has indicated its intention to phase in GHG permitting offor smaller industrial sources. Various state and regional requirements also govern GHG emissions and additional measures can be expected in the future. Depending upon the outcome of legal challenges and on the content of future GHG regulations, by the EPA, TOTAL subsidiaries in the United States may incur additional capital and operating costs to comply with control technologyand/or facility upgrade requirements for reducing GHG emissions.

In response to public concerns over the effects of climate change, a number of legislative initiatives have also been proposed in the U.S. Congress, seeking to limit GHG emissions from industrial sources either through“cap-and-trade” market mechanisms or through other means. To date these efforts have not been successful. Should a GHGcap-and-trade system, carbon tax or other GHG regulation become law in the future, industrial facilities owned by

TOTAL subsidiarieshas investments in the United States may incur additional capitalin unconventional gas plays that utilize hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” a process that involves pumping a mixture of water, sand and chemicals underground at high pressure to fracture rock formations and release natural gas and

liquids that are otherwise inaccessible. Currently, regulation of these practices occurs at the state level, although there are a number of federal legislative proposals that could alter the regulatory framework. In addition, various state initiatives could result in stricter regulation of fracking. Increased regulation could affect TOTAL’s operating costs, to comply with such legislation including the acquisition of emissions allowances to continue operating.

profitability and future investments in these unconventional gas plays.

Proceedings instituted by governmental authorities are pending or known to be contemplated against certainU.S.-based subsidiaries of TOTAL under applicable environmental laws that could result in monetary sanctions in excess of $100,000. No individual proceeding is, nor are the proceedings as a whole, expected to have a material adverse effect on TOTAL’s consolidated financial position or profitability.

Risk evaluation

Prior to developing their activitiesManagement and ongoing during their operation, business units evaluate the relatedmonitoring of industrial and environmental risks taking into account

TOTAL policies regarding health, safety and the environment

TOTAL has developed a “Health Safety Environment Quality Charter” which sets out the basic principles applicable within the Group regarding the protection of people, property and the environment. This charter is rolled out at several levels within the Group by means of management systems.

Along these lines, TOTAL has developed efficient organizations as well as safety, environmental and quality management systems, which it makes every effort to have certified or assessed (standards such as the International Safety Rating System, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001). For example, in 2010, TOTAL received ISO 9001 certification for “development and management of the database of technical businesses” in exploration and production.

Assessment

As part of its policy, TOTAL systematically assesses risks and impacts in the areas of industrial safety (particularly technological risks), the environment and the protection of workers and local residents:

prior to approving new projects, investments, acquisitions and disposals;

periodically during operations (safety studies, environmental impact studies, health impact studies and risk prevention plan in France as part of the 2003 legislation on the prevention of major technological risks);

prior to introducing new substances to the market (toxicological and ecotoxicological studies and life cycle analyses); and

based on the regulatory requirements inof the countries where these activities are located as well as recognizedcarried out and generally accepted good engineering practices.

On sites with significant technological risks, Process Hazard Analyses are performed on all new processes. These analyses are generally re-evaluated every five years and updated when significant changes are proposed on existing installations. To standardize and strengthen risk management, TOTAL has developed a shared risk management approach, which is being implemented progressively throughout the sites it operates. On the basis of these analyses, relevant sites have drafted safety management plans and emergency plans in the event of accidents. For example, regarding its petrochemical business in the United States, TOTAL is implementing a Process Safety Management Improvement Plan (PSMIP).
In France, all the sites that meet the criteria of the European Union Seveso II directive are contributing to drafting Risk Management Plans pursuant to the French law of July 30, 2003. Each of these plans will introduce various urban planning measures to reduce risks to urban environments surrounding industrial sites that are considered as high risk according to the criteria of the Seveso II directive. French administrative authorities are preparing such plans while taking into account input from site operators and neighboring residents.
Following the blow-out on the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico, TOTAL created three Task Forces in order to analyze risks and make recommendations. In Exploration & Production, Task Force No. 1 is responsiblestandards.


55


for reviewing the safety aspects of deep offshore drilling operations (architecture of wells, design of blow-out preventers, training of personnel based on lessons learned from the serious accidents that occurred recently in the industry). The two other Task Forces are described in the “Risk management” section hereafter.
Similarly, environmental impact studies are carried out prior to any industrial development through an initial site analysis, taking into account any special sensitivity as well as developing plans to prevent and reduce the impact of accidents. These studies also take into account the health impact of such operations on the local population. In countries where prior administrative authorization and supervision is required, projects are not undertaken without the authorization of the relevant authorities and are developed according to the studies provided to the authorities.
For new substances, risk characterizations and evaluations are

In particular, TOTAL has developed common methodologies for analyzing technological risks which must gradually be applied to all activities carried out. Furthermore, life cycle analyses for related risks are performed on certain products to study all the stages of a product’s life cycle from its conception until the end of its useful life.

TOTAL’s entities actively monitor regulatory developments to comply with local and international rules and standards for the evaluation and management of industrial and environmental risks. In case of operations being stopped,out by the Group’s environmental contingencies and asset retirement obligations are addressed in “Asset retirement obligation” and “Provisions for environmental contingencies” in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Future expenses related to asset retirement obligations are accounted for in accordance with the principles described in paragraph Q of Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition to developing organizations and management systems as described above, TOTAL seeksstrives to minimize industrial and environmental risks that are inherent toin its operations and, to this end, has developed efficient organizations as well as quality, safety and environmental management systems. The Group is also targeting certification for or assessment of its management systems (including International Safety Rating System, ISO 14001, European Management and Audit Scheme) and conducts detailedby conducting thorough inspections and audits, trains appropriatetraining personnel heightensand raising awareness ofamong all the partiesthose involved, and implementsimplementing an active investment policy.

More specifically, following up on

In addition, performance indicators (in the Group’s2002-2005areas of HSE) and2006-2009 plans, an action plan was defined by the Group for the2010-2013 period that focuses on two initiatives for improvement: reducing the frequency risk monitoring have been put in place, objectives have been set and severity of work-related accidents, and strengthening the management of technological risks. The results related to reducingon-the-job accidents are in line with goals, with a significant decrease in the rate of accidents (with or without time-loss) per million hours worked by nearly 80% between the end of 2001 and the end of 2010. In terms of technological risks, this plan’s initiatives include specific organization and behavioral plans as well as plans to minimize risks at the source and to increase safety for people and equipment.

Several environmental action plans have been implemented to achieve these objectives.

Although the emphasis is on preventing risks, TOTAL takes regular steps to prepare for different activities of the Group. These plans are designed to improve environmental performance, particularly regarding the use of natural resources, air and water pollution, waste production and treatment, and pollution and site decontamination. They also include quantified objectives to reduce, most notably, greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution as well as sulphur dioxide emissions and to improve energy efficiency.

As part of its efforts to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Group committed to reducing gas flaring at its Exploration & Production sites. The Group intends to reduce gas flared by 50% by 2014 compared to 2005.
By the end of 2012, the Group intends to obtain ISO 14001 certification for all of its sites that it considers particularly important to the environment according to criteria updated in 2009. At year-end 2010, 92% of such sites are ISO 14001-certified. A total of more than 280 of the Group’s sites worldwide are certified. These activities are monitored through periodic and coordinated reporting by the Group’s entities.
In addition to Task Force No. 1 created following the blow-outcrisis management based on the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico that is described above,risk scenarios identified.

In particular, TOTAL has set two other internal Task Forces:

• Task Force No. 2, coordinated with the Global Industry Response Group (GIRG) created by the OGP (International Association of Oil and Gas Producers) is responsible for studyingdeep-offshore oil capture and containment operations in case a pollution event occurs in deep waters. The Group is also a member of the Coordination Group and other GIRG working


56


groups that pay special attention to prevention and procedures for and time of response.
• Task Force No. 3 relates to plans to fight accidental spills in order to strengthen the Group’s ability to respond to a major accidental pollution, such as a blow out or a total loss of containment from an FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading facility). Although the current response to accidental oil spills implemented in the industry proves to be efficient globally, TOTAL pays special attention to technical changes including those related tosub-sea dispersants that were recently used in the Gulf of Mexico. The Group is jointly reviewing these issues with the OGP and the IPIECA (Global oil and gas association for environmental and social issues).
TOTAL has responsedeveloped emergency plans and procedures in place to deal with the environmental impact that would occur in the event ofrespond to an oil spill or leak from its offshore operations.leak. These response plans and procedures are specific to each of TOTAL’s affiliates,TOTAL affiliate and adapted to its organization, activities and environment, and are consistent with a global plan at the Group level. In order to minimize the risk and extent of environmental impact in the event of an oil spill or leak, TOTAL periodically reviews and regularly tests these emergency plans and procedures.
Each affiliate or operational site of TOTAL is required to have in place an emergency response plan taking into account its specific activities (e.g., drilling, production, transport) and risks. Moreover, whenever an affiliate’s activities expose it to the risk of an oil spill, it has one or more oil spill contingency plan(s) and blowout contingency plan(s) to address any uncontrolled release.
These specific response plans take into account the organization adopted at all levels (site, affiliate, division and Group level) for managing any emergency or crisis situation.plan. They are generally designed to cover, among others, the following matters:
• listing all pertinent data and characteristics that may be useful in appraising the context (local, geographical, environmental, geological, etc., as the case may be);
• conducting risk analysis to identify the parameters, methods and tools necessary for evaluating the situation and its probable development, together with a definition of the appropriate measures or solutions;
• detailing the actions to be taken in response to the relevant situation(s), emphasizing the initial emergency actions;
• stipulating the interfaces and liaisons required for the specific situation(s) under consideration; and
• identifying the emergency/backup means and resources potentially necessary, and how they are to be mobilized.
reviewed regularly and tested through exercises.

At the Group level, TOTAL has set up the alert scheme PARAPOL (Plan to mobilizeMobilize Resources Against Pollution) to facilitate crisis management and assist withprovide assistance by mobilizing resources in case of pollution. PARAPOL is made available to TOTAL’s affiliates and its main aim is to facilitate access to both internal and external response resources in the event of a pollution of marine, coastal or inland waters, without geographical restriction. The PARAPOL Procedure describes the organization of the emergencyprocedure is made available to TOTAL affiliates and its main goal is to facilitate access to internal experts and physical response team’s efforts, which is led by a PARAPOL Coordinator who manages or monitors the incident in order to access additional resources, both in terms of equipment and response experts. PARAPOL allows the mobilization of Group experts previously cleared to provide specific assistance to emergency response teams.

Furthermore, TOTAL and its affiliates are currently registered withmembers of certain external oil spill cooperatives that are able to provide expertise, resources and equipment in all

geographic areas where TOTAL conducts its activities,has operations, including in particular:particular Oil Spill Response, CEDRE (Center of documentation, research and experimentation on accidental water pollution) and Clean Caribbean and Americas.

Following the blow-out on the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 (concerning which the Group was not involved), TOTAL created three Task Forces in order to analyze risks and provide recommendations.

In Exploration & Production, Task Force No. 1 reviewed the safety aspects of deep offshore drilling operations (wells architecture, design of blow-out preventers, training of personnel based on lessons learned from the serious accidents that occurred recently in the industry). Its efforts have led to the implementation of even more stringent controls and audits on drilling operations.

Task Force No. 2, coordinated with the Global Industry Response Group (GIRG) created by the OGP (International Association of Oil and Gas Producers), is studying deep offshore oil capture and containment operations in case of a pollution event in deep waters. In the short term, capture devices will be available in several regions of the world where TOTAL has a strong presence in exploration-production (North Sea, Gulf of Guinea).

Task Force No. 3 related to plans to fight accidental spills in order to strengthen the Group’s ability to respond to a major accidental pollution, such as a blow out or a total loss of containment from an FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading facility). This initiative has led, in particular, to a sharp increase in the volume of dispersants available within the Group.

The Group believes that it is impossible to guarantee that the contingencies or liabilities related to the above mentioned health, safety and environmental concerns will not have a material impact on its business, assets and liabilities, consolidated financial situation, cash flow or income in the future.

Asbestos
Like many other industrial groups, TOTAL is affected by reports of occupational diseases caused by asbestos exposure. The circumstances described in these reports generally concern activities prior to the beginning of the 1980s, long before the adoption of more comprehensive bans on the new installation of asbestos-containing products in most of the countries where the Group operates (January 1, 1997, in France). The Group’s various businesses are not particularly likely to lead to significant exposure to asbestos-related risks, since this material was generally not used in manufacturing processes, except in limited cases. The main potential sources of exposure are related to the use of certain insulating components in industrial equipment. These components are being gradually eliminated from the Group’s equipment through asbestos-elimination plans


57


that have been underway for several years. However, considering the long period of time that may elapse before the harmful results of exposure to asbestos arise (up to 40 years), TOTAL anticipates that other reports may be filed in the years to come. Asbestos-related issues have been subject to close monitoring in all the Group’s business units. As of December 31, 2010, the Group estimates that the ultimate cost of all asbestos-related claims paid or pending is not likely to have a material effect on the financial situation of the Group.
Oil and gas exploration and production operations

Oil and gas exploration and production require high levels of investment and are associated with particular risks and opportunities. These activities are subject to risks related specifically to the difficulties of exploring underground, to the characteristics of hydrocarbons and to the physical characteristics of an oil or gas field. Of risks related to oil and gas exploration, geologic risks are the most important. For example, exploratory wells may not result in the discovery of hydrocarbons, or may result in amounts that

would be insufficient to allow for economic development. Even if an economic analysis of estimated hydrocarbon reserves justifies the development of a discovery, the reserves can prove lower than the estimates during the production process, thus adversely affecting the economic development.

Almost all the exploration and production operations of TOTAL are accompanied by a high level of risk of loss of the invested capital due to the risks related to economic or political factors detailed hereafter. It is impossible to guarantee that new resources of crude oil or of natural gas will be discovered in sufficient amounts to replace the reserves currently being developed, produced and sold to enable TOTAL to recover the capital it has invested.

The development of oil and gas fields, the construction of facilities and the drilling of production or injection wells require advanced technology in order to extract and exploit fossil fuels with complex properties over several decades. The deployment of this technology in such a difficult environment makes cost projections uncertain. TOTAL’s operations can be limited, delayed or cancelledcanceled as a result of numerousa number of factors, such asincluding administrative delays, particularly in termsparticular as part of the host states’ approval processes for development projects, shortages, late delivery of equipment and weather conditions, including the risk of hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. Some of these risks may also affect TOTAL’s projects and facilities further down the oil and gas chain.

Economic or political factors

The oil sector is subject to domestic regulations and the intervention of governments, directly or through state-owned companies, in such areas as:

the award of exploration and production interests;

• the award of exploration and production interests;
• authorizations by governments or by a state-controlled partner, especially for development projects, annual programs or the selection of contractors or suppliers;
• the imposition of specific drilling obligations;
• environmental protection controls;
• control over the development and abandonment of a field causing restrictions on production;
• calculating the costs that may be recovered from the relevant authority and what expenditures are deductible from taxes;
• cases of expropriation or reconsideration of contractual rights; and
• cases of nationalization.

authorizations by governments or by a state-controlled partner, in particular for development projects, annual programs or the selection of contractors or suppliers;

the imposition of specific drilling obligations;

environmental protection controls;

control over the development, exploitation and abandonment of a field causing restrictions on production;

calculating the costs that may be recovered from the relevant authority and what expenditures are deductible from taxes;

cases of expropriation, nationalization or reconsideration of contractual rights.

The oil industry is also subject to the payment of royalties and taxes, which may be high compared withhigher than those imposed with respectapplicable to other commercial activitiesbusinesses and which may be subject to material modificationschanges by the governments of certain countries.

 

Substantial portions of TOTAL’s oil and gas reserves are located in certain countries that may be considered as politically and economically unstable. TheseSuch oil and gas reserves and the related operations are subject to certain additional risks, including:

the implementation of production and export quotas;

• the establishment of production and export quotas;
• the compulsory renegotiation of contracts;
• the expropriation or nationalization of assets;
• risks relating to changes of local governments or resulting changes in business customs and practices;
• payment delays;
• currency exchange restrictions;
• depreciation of assets due to the devaluation of local currencies or other measures taken by governments that might have a significant impact on the value of activities; and
• losses and decreased activity due to armed conflicts, civil unrest or the actions of terrorist groups.

the compulsory renegotiation of contracts;

the expropriation or nationalization of assets;

risks related to changes of local governments or the resulting changes in business customs and practices;

payment delays;

currency exchange restrictions;

depreciation of assets due to the devaluation of local currencies or other measures taken by governments that might have a significant impact on the value of activities; and

losses and decreased activity due to armed conflicts, civil unrest, the actions of terrorist groups or sanctions that target activities or parties of certain countries.

TOTAL, like other major international oil companies, has a geographically diverse portfolio of reserves and operational sites, which allows it to conduct its business and financial affairs so as to reduce its exposure to such political and economic risks. However, there can be no assurance that such events will not adversely affect the Group.

Cuba

In 2010, TOTAL2011, TOTAL’s Refining & Marketing division had limited marketing activities for the sale of specialty products to non-state entities in Cuba and paid taxes on such activities. In addition, TOTAL’s Trading & Shipping division purchased hydrocarbons pursuant to spot contracts from a state-controlled entity for approximately €8340 million.

Iran

TOTAL’s Exploration & Production division hashistorically had been active in Iran through buyback contracts. Under such contracts, the contractor is responsible for and finances development operations. Once development is completed, operations are handed over to the national oil company, which then operates the field. The contractor receives payments in cash or in kind to recover its expenditures as

well as a remuneration based on the field’s performance. Furthermore, upon the national oil company’s request, a technical services agreement may be implemented in conjunction with a buyback contract to provide qualified personnel and services until full repayment of all amounts due to the contractor.

To date,

TOTAL has entered into such buyback contracts between 1995 and 1999 with respect to the development of four fields: Sirri, South Pars 2 & 3, Balal and Dorood. For all of these contracts, development operations have been completed and TOTAL retains no operational responsibilities. A technical services agreement for the Dorood field expired in December 2010. As TOTAL is no longer involved in the operation of these fields, TOTAL has no information on the production from these fields. Some payments are yet to be reimbursed to TOTAL with respect to South Pars 2 & 3, Balal and Dorood. In 2010, TOTAL’sSince 2011, TOTAL has no production in Iran corresponding to such payments in kind, wascompared to 2 kboe/d.d in 2010 and 8 kboe/d in 2009. No royalties or fees are paid by the Group in connection with these buyback and service contracts. In 2010,2011, TOTAL made non-material payments to the Iranian administration with respect to certain taxes and social security.

With respect to TOTAL’s Refining & Marketing division’s 2011 activities in Iran, Beh Total, a company held 50/50 by Behran Oil and Total Outre-Mer, a subsidiary of the Group, producesproduced and marketsmarketed small quantities of lubricants (16,000(20,000 tons) for sale to domestic consumers in Iran. In 2010,2011, revenue generated from Beh Total’s activities was €34.943.5 million and cash flow was €5.94.6 million. Beh Total paid €800,000approximately1 million in taxes. TOTAL does not own or operate any refineries or chemicals plants in Iran. In 2010,2011, Beh Total paid €5.65.6 million of dividends for fiscal year 20092010 (share of TOTAL: €2.82.3 million).

In 2010,2011, TOTAL’s Trading & Shipping division purchased in Iran pursuant to a mix of spot and term contracts approximately forty-fiveforty-nine million barrels of hydrocarbons from state-controlled entities for approximately €2.53.7 billion.

Prior to January 23, 2012, TOTAL’s Trading & Shipping division ceased its purchase of Iranian hydrocarbons.

Sudan

Since the independence of the Republic of South Sudan on July 9, 2011, TOTAL is not present in Sudan. TOTAL holds an interest in Block B in Southernwhat was, prior to July 9, 2011, the southern region of Sudan.

TOTAL disbursed in Sudan through a 1980 Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA). Operations were voluntarily suspended in 1985 because of escalating security concerns, but the company maintained its exploration rights. The Group’s initial interest was 32.5%. Despite the withdrawal of a partner, TOTAL does not intend to increase its interest above its initial level. Consequently, the Group has entered into negotiations with new partners to transfer the former partner’s interests for which the Group financially carries a share.

The EPSA was revised, effectivebetween January 1, 2005, to provide that the parties (the Government of Sudan2011 and the consortium partners) would mutually agree upon a resumption date when the petroleum operations could be safely undertaken in the contract area. Such resumption date would mark the starting point of the Group’s work obligations as foreseen in the contract. A joint decision on the resumption date has not yet been made.
Pursuant to the EPSA in 2010, TOTAL, on behalf of the consortium, disbursed nearly $2.2July 8, 2011, approximately $0.7 million as scholarships and social development contributions, andas well as contributions to the construction of social infrastructure,

schools and water wells along with non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders involved in Southernsouthern Sudan.

As of March 23, 2011, TOTAL remains inactive in Sudan. Considering the current situation in Sudan, TOTAL will continue to monitor political changes and discuss with all stakeholders that are present

Syria

Charter. Regarding humanitarian activities, TOTAL has entered into agreements with NGOs and provides financial and technical support for educational, health and infrastructure projects in Southern Sudan.
Syria
In 2010,2011, TOTAL had two contracts relating to oil and gas Explorationexploration & Productionproduction activities: a Production Sharing Agreement entered into in 1988 (“PSA 1988”) for an initial period of twenty years and renewed at the end of 2008 for an additional10-year period, and the Tabiyeh Gas Project risked Service Contract (the “Tabiyeh contract”) effective from the end of October 2009. TOTAL owns 100% of the rights and obligations under PSA 1988, and is operatingoperated until early December 2011 on various oil fields in the Deir Ez Zor area through a dedicated non-profit operating company owned equally by the Group and the state-owned General Petroleum Corporation (“GPC”) (the successor to the Syrian Petroleum Company (“SPC”)Company).

The main terms of PSA 1988 are similar to those normally used in the oil and gas industry. The Group’s revenues derived from PSA 1988 are made up of a combination of “cost oil” and “profit oil”. “Cost oil” represents the reimbursement of operating and capital expenditures and is accounted for in accordance with normal industry practices. The Group’s share of “profit oil” depends on the total annual production level. TOTAL receives its revenues in cash payments made by SPC.GPC. TOTAL pays to the state-owned Syrian company SCOT a transportation fee equal to $2/b for the oil produced in the area, as well as non-material payments to the Syrian government related to PSA 1988 for such items as withholding taxes and Syrian social security.

The Tabiyeh contract, signed with GPC, may be considered as an addition to PSA 1988 as production, costs and revenues for the oil and part of the condensates coming from the Tabiyeh field are governed by the contractual terms of PSA 1988. This project is designed to enhance liquids and gas output from the Tabiyeh field through the drilling of “commingled” wells and through process modifications in Deir Ez Zor Gas Plant operated by the Syrian Gas Company. Until early December 2011, TOTAL is financingfinanced and implementingimplemented the Tabiyeh Gas Project and operatesoperated the Tabiyeh field.

In 2010,2011, technical production for PSA 1988 and the Tabiyeh contract taken together amounted to 7463 kboe/d, of which 3953 kboe/d were accounted for as the Group’s

share of production. The amount identified as technical production under the agreements, minus the amount accounted for as the Group’s share of production, does not constitute the total economic benefit accruing to Syria under the terms of the agreements since Syria retains a margin on a portion of the Group’s production and receives certain production taxes.

In 2010, throughaddition, TOTAL and GPC entered into a Cooperation Framework Agreement in 2009, which provides for the co-development of oil projects in Syria.

Since early December 2011, TOTAL has ceased its subsidiary Total Middle East basedactivities that contribute to oil and gas production in Dubai, TOTAL sold 6,000 tons of lubricants in Syria via a distributor.

Syria.

In 2010,2011, TOTAL’s Trading & Shipping division purchased in Syria pursuant to a mix of spot and term contracts nearly teneleven million barrels of hydrocarbons from state-controlled entities for approximately €580824 million.

Since early September 2011, the Group has ceased to purchase hydrocarbons from Syria.

Competition

TOTAL is subject to competition from other oil companies in the acquisition of assets and licenses for the exploration and production of oil and natural gas as well as for the sale of manufactured products based on crude and refined oil. TOTAL’s competitors are comprised of national oil companies and international oil companies.

In this regard, the major international oil companies in competition with TOTAL are ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, Chevron and BP. As of December 31, 2010,2011, TOTAL ranked fifth among these companies in terms of market capitalization.(1)

Insurance and risk management

Organization

TOTAL has its own insurance and reinsurance company, Omnium Insurance and Reinsurance Company (OIRC). OIRC is integrated intowith the Group’s insurance management and is used as a centralized global operations tool for covering the Group’s risks. It allows the Group to implement itsGroup’s worldwide insurance program to be implemented in compliance with the various regulatory environmentsspecific requirements of local regulations applicable in the countries where the Group operates.

Some countries may require the purchase of insurance from a local insurance company. If the local insurer accepts to cover the subsidiary of the Group in compliance with its worldwide insurance program, OIRC requests a retrocession of the covered risks from the local insurer. As

a result, OIRC negotiates reinsurance contracts with the subsidiaries’ local insurance companies, which transfer most of the risk to OIRC. When a local insurer covers the risks at a lower level than that defined by the Group, OIRC provides additional coverage so as to standardize coverage throughout the Group.

At the same time, OIRC negotiates a reinsurance program at the Group level with mutual insurance companies for the oil industry and commercial reinsurers. OIRC permits the Group to better manage price variations in the

insurance market by taking on a greater or lesser amount of risk corresponding to the price trends in the insurance market.

In 2010,2011, the net amount of risk retained by OIRC after reinsurance was a maximum of €50$75 million per third-party liability insurance claim and €50$75 million per property damageand/or business interruption insurance claim. Accordingly, in the event of any loss giving rise to an insurableaggregate insurance claim, the effect on OIRC would be limited to its maximum retention of €100$150 million per event.

Risk and insurance management policy

In this context, the Group risk and insurance management policy is to work with the relevant internal department of each subsidiary to:

define scenarios of major disaster risks (estimated maximum loss);

• define scenarios of major disaster risks (estimated maximum loss);
• assess the potential financial impact on the Group in case these catastrophic events should occur;
• help in implementing measures to limit the probability that a catastrophic event occurs and the extent of such events; and
• manage the level of risk from such events to be either covered internally by the Group or to be transferred to the insurance market.

assess the potential financial impact on the Group should a catastrophic event occur;

help to implement measures to limit the probability that a catastrophic event occurs and the financial consequences if such event should occur; and

manage the level of risk from such events to be either covered internally by the Group or transferred to the insurance market.

Insurance policy

The Group has worldwide third-party liability and property insurance coverage for all its subsidiaries. These programs are contracted with first-class insurers (or reinsurers and mutual insurance companies of the oil industry through OIRC).

The amounts insured depend on the financial risks defined in the disaster scenarios and the coverage terms offered by the market (available capacities and price conditions).

More specifically for:

Third-party liability insurance: since the maximum financial risk cannot be evaluated by a systematic approach, the amounts insured are based on market conditions and industry practice, in particular, the oil industry. In 2011, the Group’s third-party liability

 Third-party liability insurance: since the maximum financial risk cannot be evaluated by a systematic approach, the amounts insured are based on market conditions and industry practice, in particular, the oil industry. In 2010, the Group’s third-party liability

insurance for any liability (including potential accidental environmental liabilities) was capped at $850 million.

• Property damage and business interruption: the amounts insured vary by sector and by site and are based on the estimated cost of and reconstruction under maximum loss scenarios and on insurance market conditions. The Group subscribed for business interruption coverage in 2010 for its main refining and petrochemical sites.

Property damage and business interruption: the amounts insured vary by sector and by site and are based on the estimated cost of and reconstruction under maximum loss scenarios and on insurance market conditions. The Group subscribed for business interruption coverage in 2011 for its main refining and petrochemical sites.

For example, with respect to the highest estimated risks of the Group (floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSO) in Angola andfor the Group’s highest risks (platforms in the North Sea and main European refineries)refineries and petrochemical plants in Europe), in 2011 the Group’s share of coverage in 2010insurance limit was approximately $1.65 billion for the Downstream segment and approximately $1.5 billion.

billion dollars for the Upstream segment.

Deductibles for property damage and third-party liability fluctuate between €0.10.1 million and €1010 million depending on the level of risk and liability, and are borne by the relevant subsidiary. For business interruption, coverage begins sixty days after the event giving rise to the interruption.

Other insurance contracts are bought by the Group in addition to property damage and third-party liability coverage, mainly for car fleets, credit insurance and employee benefits. These risks are entirely underwritten by outside insurance companies.

The above-described policy is given as an example of past practice over a certain period of time and cannot be considered as representative of future conditions. The Group’s insurance policy may be changed at any time depending on the market conditions, specific circumstances and on management’s assessment of the risks incurred and the adequacy of their coverage.

While TOTAL believes its insurance coverage is in line with industry practice and sufficient to cover normal risks in its operations, it is not insured against all possible risks. In the event of a major environmental disaster, for example, TOTAL’s liability may exceed the maximum coverage provided by its third-party liability insurance. The loss TOTAL could suffer in the event of such a disaster would depend on all the facts and circumstances and would be subject to a whole range of uncertainties, including legal uncertainty as to the scope of liability for consequential damages, which may include economic damage not directly connected to the disaster. The Group cannot guarantee that it will not suffer any uninsured loss and there can be no assurance,guarantee, particularly in the case of a major environmental disaster or industrial accident, that such loss would not have a material adverse effect on the Group.

 

Competition law

Competition laws apply to the Group’s companies in the vast majority of countries in which it does business. Violations of competition laws carry fines and expose the Group and its employees to criminal sanctions and civil suits. Furthermore, it is now common for persons or corporations allegedly injured by violations of competition laws to sue for damages.

The broad range of activities and countries in which the Group operates requires local analysis, by business segment, of the legal risks in terms of competition law. Some of the Group’s business segments have already been implementing competition law conformity plans for a long time. Moreover, a Group-wide policy designed to coordinate risk management measures and competition law conformity plans has been under development since the beginning of 2012.

Organizational Structure

TOTAL S.A. is the parent company of the TOTAL Group. As of December 31, 2010,2011, there were 687870 consolidated subsidiaries, of which 596783 were fully consolidated and 9187 were accounted for under the equity method.

OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

TOTAL’s results are affected by a variety of factors, including changes in crude oil and natural gas prices as well as refining and marketing margins, which are all generally expressed in dollars, and changes in exchange rates, particularly the value of the euro compared to the dollar. Higher crude oil and natural gas prices generally have a positive effect on the income of TOTAL, since its Upstream oil and gas business benefits from the resulting increase in revenues realized from production. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices generally have a corresponding negative effect. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on TOTAL’s Downstream activities depends upon the speed at which the prices of refined petroleum products adjust to reflect such changes. In the past several years, crude oil and natural gas prices have varied greatly. As TOTAL reports its results in euros, but conducts its operations mainly in dollars, the effect of an

increase in crude oil and natural gas prices is partly offset by the effect of the variation in exchange rates during periods of weakening of the dollar relative to the euro and strengthened during periods of strengthening of the dollar relative to the euro. TOTAL’s results are also significantly affected by the costs of its activities, in particular those related to exploration and production, and by the outcome of its strategic decisions with respect to cost reduction efforts. TOTAL’s results are also affected by general economic and political conditions and changes in governmental laws and regulations, as well as by the impact of decisions by OPEC on production levels. However, the Euro zone’s turbulences during the fiscal year 2011 did not affect the Group significantly. For more information, see “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors” and “Item 4. Information on the Company — Other Matters”.

 

In 2010,

The year 2011 witnessed a number of geopolitical events that put pressure on market supplies. Despite the market environment for the oil and gas industry was marked by the rebound in theeconomic slowdown, demand for oil gas and petroleum products drivencontinued to rise, fuelled by the global economic growth of emerging markets. Pressure on supply, plus rising demand, resulted in particulara sharp increase in emerging countries. Crude oilthe price of crude oil. The average price of Brent in 2011 was $111/b, compared with $80/b in 2010.

Gas spot prices increased in 2010continued to reach an average $80/b. Spot gas pricesrise in Europe and Asia also recovered. Followingin 2011, mainly due to increased demand on Asian markets. Spot prices for gas in the United States remained very low, due to the continued rise in production, driven by the development of non-conventional gases.

Despite the gradual adjustment of refining capacity, the overcapacity that has existed in the European refining market since 2009 recordcontinued into 2011, due to low levels, refiningdemand in Europe. Refining margins recovereddropped to an average of $17/t in 2011, compared with $27/t in Europe.2010(1). In the first half of 2011, the Chemicals segment enjoyed a globally favorable environment, which has deteriorated since then. In the second half of the year, the Base Chemicals and Specialty Chemicals divisions saw their margins shrink due to the drop in demand for polymers improved in all consuming areas and led to recovering petrochemical margins.

caused by the economic slowdown.


In this context,environment, TOTAL’s 2010 net income (Group share) was €10,571 million,amounted to12.3 billion, up 25%16% compared to €8,44710.6 billion in 2010. This result essentially reflects a better Upstream environment, while the Downstream and Chemicals segments were faced with more difficult conditions than in 2010. The Upstream segment’s 2011 adjusted net operating income of10.4 billion was up 21% compared with8.6 billion in 2010 due to rising prices, but was also negatively impacted by the-$ exchange rate. The Downstream segment’s adjusted net operating income dropped by 7% to1.1 billion in 2011 compared to1.2 billion in 2010. This result can be explained in particular by the impact of reduced refining margins and the sale of the Group’s stake in CEPSA, which were partially offset by an improvement in operational performance. The Chemicals segment’s adjusted net operating income dropped by 10% to775 million in 2009,2011 from857 million in 2010, due to the more difficult market environment at the end of the year and the asset sales in 2011 (resins, CEPSA).

The year 2011 saw numerous acquisitions and asset sales, reflecting the improved environmentGroup’s ambition to optimize its portfolio by creating value from certain mature assets and by developing its Upstream assets with high potential for growth.

TOTAL benefited from the soundrise in its operational cash flow and the8 billion inflows from asset sales in 2011 to fund the increase in its investment program, while maintaining a dividend of2.28 per share, which will be submitted for approval to the Shareholders’ meeting on May 11, 2012. The balance sheet remained strong, with a net-debt-to- equity ratio(2) of 23% at the end of 2011, compared with 22% at the end of 2010.

In terms of operations, 2011 saw the continued improvement of safety performance, with a 15% drop in the Group-wide TRIR(3) compared with 2010.

In the Upstream segment, three major discoveries in Azerbaijan, Bolivia and French Guiana were the first results of the Group,Group’s bolder exploration strategy. The year 2011 also witnessed the successful start-up of the Pazflor deep-offshore platform in particular with production growingAngolan waters, a project operated by TOTAL that illustrates the Group’s expertise in the development of major projects. Five new major projects, including the Ichthys LNG project in Australia (TOTAL, 24%), were also launched, in order to secure growth in the years to come.

Still in the Upstream segment, 2011 also saw the announcement of the acquisition of a 14.09% stake in the Russian company Novatek and an increase of the Group’s stakes in the Fort Hills project in Canada and in Tempa Rossa in Italy. At the end of 2011, the Group announced its entry into the Utica shale gas and condensates deposit in the United States. The Group continued to extend its oil and gas acreage by more than 4% comparedacquiring stakes in promising exploration areas, such as the pre-salt blocks in the Kwanza basin in Angola, and by acquiring stakes in deposits that have already been discovered, such as the Yamal LNG project in Russia.

At the same time, in 2011, TOTAL disposed of certain mature or non-strategic Upstream assets, including its exploration-production subsidiary in Cameroon and its stakes in pipelines in Colombia.

In the realm of new energies, TOTAL acquired in 2011 a 60% stake (now, 66%) in the U.S. company SunPower, to 2009.become one of the leaders in the solar industry. Although currently in the consolidation phase, this industry offers opportunities for strong growth.

Finally, in 2011, TOTAL reasserted the Upstream segment,priority on safety and the environment as part of its operations throughout its business. For all of its projects conducted in a large number of countries, the Group continued its ambitious investment program that includes launching seven new projects, including Laggan/Tormore inputs an emphasis on corporate social responsibility (CSR) challenges and the North Sea and CLOV in Angola. Highlights of 2010 also included the announcementdevelopment of the acquisition of an interest in two major projects: the Fort Hills field andVoyageur upgrader in Canada and GLNG in Australia. The Group continued to add to its acreage with new exploration plays focused on pre-salt projects, unconventional gas and new frontier areas. Finally, in 2010, TOTAL divested its interests in the Valhall and Hod fields in Norway and Block 31 in Angola, and announced the sale of its Exploration & Production subsidiary in Cameroon.

In the Downstream and Chemicals segments, major changes took place in 2010 that included the shutdown of the Dunkirk refinery in France and the upgrading of the refinery and the petrochemical plant in Normandy. This demonstrated the Group’s intention to adapt to changing demand in Europe while thestart-up of the Ras Laffan steam cracker in Qatar will contribute to taking better advantage of the growth in Middle Eastern and Asian markets. In Marketing and Specialty Chemicals, the Group continued to optimize its business by setting up TotalErg in Italy, offering for sale its marketing network in the United Kingdom and disposing of Mapa Spontex while seeking to consolidate its leading position with respect to these businesses.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the GroupGroup’s accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables the Group to report useful and reliable information about the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Company has changed its method for reserve estimates due to the adoption of the Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2010-03, Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures, effective for annual reporting periods ended on or after December 31, 2009.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of preparation of the financial statements and reported income and expenses for the period. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, by reference to past experience and various other factors considered as reasonable which form the basis for assessing the book value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates, if different assumptions or circumstances apply.

Lastly, where the accounting treatment of a specific transaction is not addressed by any accounting standards or interpretation, management applies its judgment to define and apply accounting policies that will lead to relevant and reliable information, so that the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows;

• give a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows;
• reflect the substance of transactions;
• are neutral;
• are prepared on a prudent basis; and
• are complete in all material aspects.

reflect the substance of transactions;

are neutral;

are prepared on a prudent basis; and

are complete in all material aspects.

The following summary provides further information about the critical accounting policies that involve significant elements of management judgment, and which could have a significant impact on the results of the Group. It should be read in conjunction with Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The assessment of critical accounting policies below is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the uncertainties in financial results that can occur from the application of the full range of the Company’s accounting policies. Materially different financial results could occur in the application of other accounting policies as well. Likewise, materially different results can occur upon the adoption of new accounting standards promulgated by the various rule-making bodies.

Successful efforts method of oil and gas accounting

The Group follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas activities. The Group’s oil and gas reserves are estimated by the Group’s petroleum engineers in accordance with industry standards and SEC regulations. In December 2008, the SEC published a revised set of rules for the estimation of reserves. These revised rules were used for the year-end estimation of reserves beginning in 2009. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations, prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic

methods are used for the estimation. These estimates do not include probable or possible reserves. Estimated oil

and gas reserves are based on available reservoir data and prices and costs in the accounting period during which the estimate is made and are subject to future revision. The Group reassesses its oil and gas reserves at least once a year on all its properties.

Exploration leasehold acquisition costs are capitalized when acquired. During the exploration phase, management exercises judgment on the probability that prospects ultimately would partially or fully fail to find proved oil and gas reserves. Based on this judgmental approach, a leasehold impairment charge may be recorded. This position is assessed and adjusted throughout the contractual period of the leasehold based in particular on the results of exploratory activity and any impairment is adjusted prospectively.

When a discovery is made, exploratory drilling costs continue to be capitalized pending determination of whether potentially economic oil and gas reserves have been discovered by the drilling effort. The length of time necessary for this determination depends on the specific technical or economic difficulties in assessing the recoverability of the reserves. If a determination is made that the well did not encounter oil and gas in economically viable quantities, the well costs are expensed and are reported in exploration expense.

Exploratory drilling costs are temporarily capitalized pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves if both of the following conditions are met:

the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify, if appropriate, its completion as a producing well, assuming that the required capital expenditure is made; and

satisfactory progress toward ultimate development of the reserves is being achieved, with the Company making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.

• the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify, if appropriate, its completion as a producing well, assuming that the required capital expenditure is made; and
• satisfactory progress toward ultimate development of the reserves is being achieved, with the Company making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.

The Company evaluates the progress made on the basis of regular project reviews which take into account the following factors:

First, if additional exploratory drilling or other exploratory activities (such as seismic work or other significant studies) are either underway or firmly planned, the Company deems there is satisfactory progress. For these purposes, exploratory activities are considered firmly planned only if they are included in the Company’s three-year exploration plan/budget.

In cases where exploratory activity has been completed, the evaluation of satisfactory progress takes into account indicators such as the fact that

For these purposes, exploratory activities are considered firmly planned only if they are included in the Company’s three-year exploration plan/budget.
 
 In cases where exploratory activity has been completed, the evaluation of satisfactory progress takes into account indicators such as the fact that

costs for development studies are incurred in the current period, or that governmental or other third-party authorizations are pending or that the availability of capacity on an existing transport or processing facility awaits confirmation.

The successful efforts method requires, among other things, that the capitalized costs for proved oil and gas properties (which include the costs of drilling successful wells) be amortized on the basis of reserves that are produced in a period as a percentage of the total estimated proved reserves. The impact of changes in estimated proved reserves is dealt with prospectively by amortizing the remaining book value of the asset over the expected future production. If proved reserve estimates are revised downward, earnings could be affected by higher depreciation expense or an immediate write-down of the property’s book value. Conversely, if the oil and gas quantities were revised upwards, futureper-barrel depreciation and depletion expense would be lower.

Valuation of long-lived assets

In addition to oil and gas assets that could become impaired under the application of successful efforts accounting, other assets could become impaired and require write-down if circumstances warrant. Conditions that could cause an asset to become impaired includelower-than-forecasted lower-than-expected commodity sales prices, changes in the Group’s business plans or a significant adverse change in the local or national business climate. The amount of an impairment charge would be based on estimates of an asset’sthe higher of the value in use or the fair value minus cost to sell compared with its book value. The fair value usuallyin use is based on the present valuesvalue of expected future cash flowsflow using assumptions commensurate with the risks involved in the asset group. The expected future cash flowsflow used for impairment reviews areis based on judgmental assessments of future production volumes, prices and costs, considering information available at the date of review.

Asset retirement obligations and environmental remediation

When legal and contractual obligations require it, the Group, upon application of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 37 and IAS 16, records provisions for the future decommissioning of production facilities at the end of their economic lives. Management makes judgments and estimates in recording liabilities. Most of these removal obligations are many years in the future and the precise requirements that will have to be met when the removal event actually occurs are uncertain. Asset removal technologies and costs are constantly changing,


65


as well as political, environmental, safety and public expectations.

 

The Group also makes judgments and estimates in recording costs and establishing provisions for environmentalclean-up and remediation costs, which are based on current information on costs and expected plans for remediation. For environmental provisions, actual costs can differ from estimates because of changes in laws and regulations, public expectations, discovery and analysis of site conditions and changes inclean-up technology.

Pensions and post-retirement benefits

Accounting for pensions and other post-retirement benefits involves judgments about uncertain events, including estimated retirement dates, salary levels at retirement, mortality rates, rates of return on plan assets, determination of discount rates for measuring plan obligations, healthcare cost-trend rates and rates of utilization of healthcare services by retirees. These assumptions are based on the environment in each country. The assumptions used are reviewed at the end of each year and may vary fromyear-to-year, based on the evolution of the situation, which will affect future results of operations. Any differences between these assumptions and the actual outcome will also impact future results of operations.

The significant assumptions used to account for pensions and other post-retirement benefits are determined as follows:

follows.

Discount and inflation rates primarily reflect the rates at which the benefits could be effectively settled, taking into account the duration of the obligation. Indications used in selecting the discount rate include rates of annuity contracts and rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments (such as government bonds). The inflationhigh quality corporate bonds. Inflation rates reflect market conditions observed on acountry-by-country basis.

Salary increase assumptions (when relevant) are determined by each entity. They reflect an estimate of the actual future salary levels of the individual employees involved, including future changes attributed to general price levels (consistent with inflation rate assumptions), productivity, seniority, promotion and other factors.

Healthcare cost trend assumptions (when relevant) reflect an estimate of the actual future changes in the cost of the healthcare-related benefits provided to the plan participants and are based on past and current healthcare cost trends including healthcare inflation, changes in healthcare utilization, and changes in health status of the participants.

Demographic assumptions such as mortality, disability and turnover reflect the best estimate of these future events for the individual employees involved, based principally on available actuarial data.

Determination of expected rates of return on pension plan assets is made through compound averaging. For each plan, the distribution of investments among bonds, equities and cash and the expected rates of return on bonds,

equities and cash are taken into account. A weighted-average rate is then calculated.

The effect pensions had on results of operations, cash flow and liquidity is fully set out in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Net employee benefit expense in 20102011 amounted to €374315 million and the Company’s contributions to pension plans were €269347 million.

Differences between projected and actual costs and between the projected return and the actual return on plan assets routinely occur and are called actuarial gains and losses.

The Group applies the corridor method to amortize its actuarial losses and gains. This method amortizes the net cumulative actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10% of the greater of (i) the present value of the defined benefit obligation, and (ii) the fair value of plan assets, over the average expected remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan.

The unrecognized actuarial losses of pension benefits as of December 31, 2010,2011, were €1,1701,713 million compared to €1,0451,170 million for 2009.2010. The increase in unrecognized actuarial losses is explained by actuarial losses due to a decrease in discount rates in 2010 partially offset by an increase2011 and due to a decrease in the value of plan assets. As explained above, pension accounting principles allow that such actuarial losses be deferred and amortized over future periods, in the Company’s case a period of fifteen years.

While the

The Company has not completed its calculations for 2011, it is considering a decreased weighted-average expected rate of return on pension plan assets of 5.35% for the year (5.90%2012 compared to the 20092011 rate of 6.39%), due to a decrease in discount rates in 2010.5.90%. The Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that it will be significantly modifying its discount rate in 2012 or the near future.

The Company’s estimates indicate that a 1% increase or decrease in the expected rate of return on pension plan assets would have caused a €6062 million decrease or increase, respectively, in the 20102011 net periodic pension

2011.

Income tax computation

The computation of the Group’s income tax expense requires the interpretation of complex tax laws and regulations in many taxing jurisdictions around the world, the determination of expected outcomes from pending litigation, and the assessment of audit findings that are performed by numerous taxing authorities. Actual income tax expense may differ from management’s estimates.

RESULTSGroup Results 2011 vs. 2010

The year 2011 witnessed a number of geopolitical events that put pressure on market supplies. Despite the economic slowdown, demand for oil products continued to rise, fueled by the growth of emerging markets. Pressure on supply, plus rising demand, resulted in a sharp increase in the price of crude oil.

2008-2010In the Upstream segment, the 2011 oil market environment was marked by a 40% increase in the average Brent price to $111.3/b from $79.5/b in 2010. In 2011, TOTAL’s average liquids price realization(1) increased by 38% to $105.0/b from $76.3/b in 2010, in line with the increase in the average Brent price of oil. TOTAL’s average natural gas price realization(1) increased by 27% to $6.53/MBtu in 2011 from $5.15/MBtu in 2010. The average euro-dollar exchange rate was 1.39 $/ in 2011 compared to 1.33 $/ in 2010.

In the Downstream segment, the Group’s European Refining Margin Indicator (ERMI) fell to $17.4/t in 2011 from $27.4/t in 2010. Despite the gradual reduction of refining capacity, the overcapacity that has existed in the European refining market since 2009 continued into 2011, due to low demand in Europe.

In the first half of 2011, the Chemicals segment enjoyed a globally favorable environment, which has since deteriorated. In the second half of the year, Petrochemicals and Specialty Chemicals saw their margins shrink due to the drop in demand caused by the economic slowdown.

Consolidated sales of TOTAL were184.7 billion in 2011, an increase of 16% from159.3 billion in 2010, as a result of an increase in non-Group sales in the Upstream, Downstream and Chemicals segments of 26%, 15% and 11%, respectively.

Net income (Group share) in 2011 increased by 16% to12,276 million from10,571 million in 2010, mainly due to the impact of the increase in hydrocarbon prices on the Upstream segment’s results. The after-tax inventory valuation effect (as defined below under “— Business

Segment Reporting”) had a positive impact on net income (Group share) of834 million in 2011 and a positive impact of748 million in 2010, in each case essentially due to the increase in oil prices. As from January 1, 2011, the Group accounts for changes in fair value of trading inventories and storage contracts (as defined below under “— Business Segment Reporting”). Changes in fair value of these items had a positive impact on net income (Group share) of32 million in 2011. Special items had a negative impact on net income (Group share) of14 million in 2011, comprised mainly of1,014 million of impairments (essentially impairments on European refining and renewable energy assets) and1,538 million of gains on asset sales. Special items had a negative impact on net income (Group share) of384 million in 2010, comprised essentially of asset impairments that had a negative impact of1,224 million (essentially impairments on European refining assets) and gains on asset sales that had a positive impact of1,046 million. Effective July 1, 2010, the Group no longer accounts for its interest in Sanofi as an equity affiliate, but treats such interest as a financial asset available for sale in the line “Other investments” of the balance sheet. In 2010, the Group’s share of adjustment items related to Sanofi had a negative impact on net income (Group share) of81 million.

In 2011, income taxes amounted to14,073 million, an increase of 38% compared to10,228 in 2010, primarily as a result of the increase in taxable income. The increase in the effective tax rate from 49% in 2010 to 53% in 2011 was mainly due to an increase in the portion of the Group’s income before tax attributable to entities with a local tax rate much higher than the French tax rate (36.10%). The portion of the Upstream income before tax represented 89% in 2011, unchanged from 2010.

The Group did not buy back shares in 2011. The number of fully-diluted shares at December 31, 2011, was 2,263.8 million compared to 2,249.3 million at December 31, 2010.

Fully-diluted earnings per share, based on 2,257 million weighted-average shares, was5.44 in 2011 compared to4.71 in 2010, an increase of 15%.

Group Results 2010 vs. 2009

In 2010, the oil and gas market environment was characterized by increased demand for oil and natural gas products. Crude oil prices were relatively stable during 2010, with an average Brent oil price of $79.5/b, an increase of 29% compared to $61.7/b in 2009. In 2010, TOTAL’s average liquids price realization(1) increased 31% to $76.3/b from $58.1/b in 2009, in line with the increase in the average Brent price of oil. TOTAL’s average natural gas price realization(1) decreased to $5.15/MBtu in 2010 from $5.17/MBtu in 2009. The average euro-dollar exchange rate was 1.33 $/ on average in 2010 compared to 1.39 $/ in 2009.

Refining margins rebounded in 2010 from historically low levels in 2009. For the full year 2010, the Group’s European Refining Margin Indicator (ERMI)ERMI was 27.4 $/$27.4/t, an increase of 54% compared to $17.8/t in 2009.

For the full year 2010, the Chemicals segment benefited from a strong rebound in demand and margins in the Base chemicalsChemicals division’s market, as well as an increase in demand in the Specialties chemicalsChemicals division’s market.

Consolidated sales of TOTAL were €159.3159.3 billion in 2010, an increase of 21% from €131.3131.3 billion in 2009, as a result of an increase in non-Group sales in the Upstream, Downstream and Chemicals segments of 15%, 23% and 19%, respectively.

Reported net income (Group share) in 2010 increased by 25% to €10,57110,571 million from €8,4478,447 million in 2009, mainly due to the increase in hydrocarbon prices and production, as well as a rebound in the Chemicals segment. The after-tax impact of prices on inventory valuation accounted for in the Downstream and Chemicals segments had a positive impact on net income (Group share) of €748748 million in 2010 and a positive impact of €1,5331,533 million in 2009, in each case due to the increase in oil prices. For a discussion of the impact of prices on inventory valuation in the Downstream and Chemicals segments see ‘‘—“— Business Segment Reporting” below. Special items had a negative impact on net income (Group share) of €384384 million in 2010, comprised essentially of asset impairments that had a negative impact of €1,2241,224 million and gains on asset sales that had a positive impact of €1,0461,046 million. Special items had a negative impact of €570570 million in 2009. Effective July 1, 2010, the Group no longer accounts for its interest in Sanofi-AventisSanofi as an equity affiliate, but treats such interest as a financial asset available for sale in the line “Other investments” of the balance sheet.

related to Sanofi-AventisSanofi had a negative impact on net income (Group share) of €8181 million in 2010 (six months) and a negative impact of €300300 million in 2009 (full year).

In 2010, income taxes amounted to €10,22810,228 million, an increase of 32% compared to €7,7517,751 in 2009, primarily as a result of the increase in taxable income. The increase in the effective tax rate from 47% in 2009 to 49% in 2010 was mainly due to an increase in the portion of the Group income before tax attributable to entities with a local tax rate much higher than the French tax rate (34.43%). The portion of the Upstream income before tax represented 89% in 2010 compared with 82% in 2009, with a mechanicalcorresponding impact on the Group effective tax rate.

The Group did not buy back shares in 2010. The number of fully-diluted shares at December 31, 2010, was 2,249.3 million compared to 2,243.7 million at December 31, 2009.

Fully-diluted earnings per share, based on 2,244.5 million weighted-average shares, was €4.714.71 in 2010, compared to €3.783.78 in 2009, an increase of 25%.
Group Results 2009 vs. 2008
In 2009, the oil and gas market environment was characterized by a sharp decline in the demand for oil, natural gas and refined products. Following a significant decrease in the fourth quarter of 2008, crude oil prices rebounded during 2009 to an average Brent oil price of $61.7/b, which represents a decrease of approximately 37% compared to the average Brent oil price of $97.30/b in 2008. Natural gas spot prices remained depressed throughout 2009, with an average of $5.17/Mbtu, which represents a decrease of 30% compared to $7.38/Mbtu in 2008. The decrease in oil and gas prices was partially offset by the slight strengthening of the dollar comparative to the euro: the average euro-dollar exchange rate was $1.39/€ in 2009 compared to $1.47/€ in 2008. Comparing 2009 to 2008, TOTAL’s average liquids price realization.(1) decreased by 36% and average natural gas price realization decreased by 30%.
Refining margins fell in 2009 to historically low levels, with TOTAL’s European Refining Margin Indicator (ERMI) falling by 65% to $17.8/t compared to $51.1/t in 2008. ERMI is a new indicator, reported by TOTAL since January 2010, intended to represent the margin after variable costs for a theoretical complex refinery located around Rotterdam in Northern Europe that processes a mix of crude oil and other inputs commonly supplied to this region to produce and market the main refined products at prevailing prices in this region. The indicator margin may not be representative of the actual margins achieved by TOTAL in any period because of TOTAL’s particular refinery configurations, product mix effects or other company-specific operating conditions. TOTAL’s refining margin indicator reported in previous quarters was TRCV. For comparative purposes, TRCV fell by 61% to $14.8/t in 2009, compared to $37.8/t in 2008. TRCV was discontinued effective in the first quarter 2010.
In the Chemicals segment, despite strong demand for polymers in China, the environment was affected by low margins and a sharp drop in demand for polymers and specialty chemicals in OECD markets.
Consolidated sales of TOTAL were €131.3 billion in 2009, a decrease of 27% from €180 billion in 2008, as a result of a decline in sales in the Upstream, Downstream and Chemicals segments of 34%, 26% and 27%, respectively.
TOTAL’s net income (Group share) decreased to €8,447 million in 2009 from €10,590 million in 2008. The 20% decrease in net income (Group share) in 2009 compared to 2008 was mainly due to the negative impact of lower hydrocarbon prices and refining margins (-€6.8 billion). Other factors contributing to a decrease in net income (Group share) in 2009 compared to 2008 included special items (-€0.1 billion). These negative impacts were partially offset by the positive impacts of: the after-tax impact of prices on inventory valuation accounted for in the Downstream and Chemicals segments (+€4.0 billion); the Group’s equity share of adjustments (concerning amortization and impairment of intangibles related to the Sanofi-Aventis merger) and, from 2009, selected items related to Sanofi-Aventis (+€0.1 billion); and a stronger dollar (+€0.5 billion).
In 2009, income taxes amounted to €7,751 million, a decrease of 45% compared to €14,146 in 2008, primarily as a result of the decline in taxable income. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 56% in 2008 to 47% in 2009 was mainly due to the fall in the portion of the Group income before tax attributable to entities with a local tax rate much higher than the French tax rate (34.43%), mainly entities from the Upstream segment. The portion of the Upstream income before tax represented 82% in 2009 compared with 99% in 2008, with a mechanical impact on the Group effective tax rate.
The Group did not buy back shares in 2009. The number of fully-diluted shares at December 31, 2009, was 2,243.7 million compared to 2,235.3 million at December 31, 2008.
Fully-diluted earnings per share, based on 2,237.3 million weighted-average shares, was €3.78 compared to €4.71 in 2008, a decrease of 20%.

Business Segment Reporting

The financial information for each business segment is reported on the same basis as that used internally by the chief operating decision maker in assessing segment performance and the allocation of segment resources. Due to their particular nature or significance, certain transactions qualified as “special items” are excluded from the business segment figures. In general, special items relate to transactions that are significant, infrequent or unusual. However, in certain instances, certain transactions such as restructuring costs or asset disposals, which are not considered to be representative of the normal course of business, may be qualified as special items although they may have occurred in prior years or are likely to recur in following years.

In accordance with IAS 2, the Group values inventories of petroleum products in the financial statements according to the FIFO(First-In, (First-In, First-Out) method and other inventories using the weighted-average cost method. Under the FIFO method, inventories are valuedthe cost of inventory is based on the historic cost of acquisition or manufacture rather than the current replacement cost. In volatile energy markets, this can have a significant distorting effect on the reported income. Accordingly, the segment measureadjusted results of profitability for the Downstream segment and Chemicals segment is based onare presented according to the replacement cost method in order to facilitate the comparability of the Group’s results

with those of its competitors and to help illustrate the operating performance of these segments excluding the impact of oil price changes on the replacement of inventories. In the replacement cost method, which is conceptually close toapproximates the LIFO(Last-In, (Last-In, First-Out) method, the variation of inventory values in the statement of income is, depending on the nature of the inventory, determined using either the month-end prices differential between one period and another or the average prices of the period. The inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results according tounder the FIFO and using the replacement cost method. Whenmethods.

As from January 1, 2011, the replacement cost is higher thaneffect of changes in fair value presented as an adjustment item reflects, for trading inventories and storage contracts, differences between internal measures of performance used by TOTAL’s management and the costaccounting for these transactions under IFRS. IFRS requires that trading inventories be recorded at their fair value using period-end spot prices. In order to best reflect the management of economic exposure through derivative transactions, internal indicators used to measure performance include valuations of trading inventories recorded at their fair value based on forward prices. Furthermore, TOTAL, in its trading activities, enters into storage contracts, the oldest inventory, usefuture effects of which are recorded at fair value in the replacement cost method lowers results. When the replacement cost is lower than the costGroup’s internal economic performance. IFRS, by requiring accounting for storage contracts on an accrual basis, precludes recognition of the oldest inventory, use of the replacement cost method, as opposed to FIFO, increases results. In the discussion of net income (Group share) we separately disclose the after-tax amount of the inventory valuationthis fair value effect.

Until June 30, 2010, the Group also adjusted for its equity share of adjustment items related to Sanofi-Aventis.Sanofi. As of July 1, 2010, Sanofi-AventisSanofi is no longer accounted for as an equity affiliate (but is instead treated as a financial asset available for sale in the line “Other investments” of the balance sheet).

The adjusted business segment results (adjusted operating income and adjusted net operating income) are defined as replacement cost results, adjusted for special items.items, excluding the effect of changes in fair value as from January 1, 2011. For further information on the adjustments affecting operating income on asegment-by-segment basis, and for a reconciliation of segment figures to figures reported in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition, the

The Group measures performance at the segment level on the basis of net operating income and adjusted net operating income. Net operating income comprises operating income of the relevant segment after deducting the amortization and the depreciation of intangible assets other than leasehold rights, translation adjustments and gains or losses on the sale of assets, as well as all other income and expenses related to capital employed (dividends from non-consolidated companies, income from equity affiliates and capitalized interest expenses), and after income taxes applicable to the above. The income and expenses not included in net operating income butthat are included in net income are interest expenses related to long-term liabilities net financial debt only,of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents, after applicable income taxes (net cost of net debt and minoritynon-controlling interests). Adjusted net operating income excludes the effect of the adjustments (special items and the inventory valuation effect and, until June 30, 2010, Sanofi-Aventis related items)effect) described above. For further discussion onof the calculation of net operating income and the calculation of return on average capital employed (ROACE)(1), see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

2011 vs. 2010

Upstream segment sales (excluding sales to other segments) increased by 26% to23,298 million in 2011 from18,527 million in 2010, reflecting essentially the impact of higher hydrocarbon prices.

Oil and gas production averaged 2,346 kboe/d in 2011, compared to 2,378 kboe/d in 2010. This 1.3% decrease was due essentially to the result of normal decline, net of production ramp-ups on new projects (-1.5%), security conditions, mainly in Libya (-1.5%) and the price effect(1) (-2%), partially offset by changes in the portfolio (+2.5%; integrating the net share of Novatek production and the impact of the sale of interests in CEPSA) and the end of OPEC reductions (+1%).

Proved reserves based on SEC rules were 11,423 Mboe at December 31, 2011 (Brent at $110.96/b), compared to 10,695 Mboe at December 31, 2010 (Brent at $79.02/b). Based on the 2011 average rate of production, reserve life is thirteen years.

See “Item 4. Information on the Company — Exploration & Production — Reserves” for a discussion of proved reserves and “Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (Unaudited)” contained elsewhere herein for additional information on proved reserves, including tables showing changes in proved reserves by region.

Upstream net operating income in 2011 amounted to10,534 million (for 2010,8,852 million) from operating income of22,444 million (for 2010,17,450 million), with the difference between net operating income and operating income resulting primarily from taxes on net operating income of13,506 million (for 2010,10,131 million), partially offset by income from equity affiliates and other items of1,596 million (for 2010,1,533 million). The increase in net operating income in 2011 compared to 2010 was due primarily to the impact of higher hydrocarbon prices.

Adjusted net operating income for the Upstream segment was10,405 million in 2011 compared to8,597 million in 2010, an increase of 21%, essentially due to the impact of higher hydrocarbon prices partially offset by the impact of the mix effect, changes in foreign exchange rates and increased costs, exploration expenses and taxes. Technical costs for consolidated subsidiaries, in accordance with ASC 932(2) were $18.9/boe(3) in 2011, compared to $16.6/boe in 2010, mainly due to

depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) charges related notably to the start-up of new projects and increased operating expenses per barrel.

Adjusted net operating income for the Upstream segment excludes special items. In 2011, the exclusion of special items had a negative impact of129 million on adjusted net operating income dividedfor the Upstream segment and a negative impact of255 million in 2010, in both cases comprised principally of capital gains on asset sales partially offset by averageasset impairments.

The Upstream segment’s total capital employed.


69

expenditures increased by 64% to21,689 million in 2011 from13,208 million in 2010. Capital expenditures excluding acquisitions in 2011 mainly included projects in the following countries: Angola, Nigeria, Norway, Australia, Kazakhstan, the United Kingdom, Canada, Indonesia, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo and the United States.


ROACE for the Upstream segment decreased to 20% in 2011 from 21% in 2010. The decrease was mainly due to the increase in capital employed in 2011.

2010 vs. 2009

Upstream segment sales (excluding sales to other segments) increased by 15% to €18,52718,527 million in 2010 from €16,07216,072 million in 2009, reflecting essentially the impact of higher hydrocarbon prices and production growth.

For the full year 2010, oil

Oil and gas production averaged 2,378 kboe/d in 2010, compared to 2,281 kboe/d in 2009. This 4.3% increase was essentially the result of productionramp-ups on new projects, net of the normal decline, and a lower level of turnarounds (+3%), changes in the portfolio (+2%), lower OPEC reductions and an increase in gas demand (+1.5%) and improved security conditions in Nigeria (+1%), partially offset by the price effect(1) (-3%).

Proved reserves based on SEC rules were 10,695 Mboe at December 31, 2010 (Brent at $79.02/b), compared to 10,483 Mboe at December 31, 2009 (Brent at $59.91/b). At the 2010 average rate of production, the reserve life iswas more than twelve years.

Upstream net operating income in 2010 amounted to €8,8528,852 million (for 2009, €6,2186,218 million) from operating income of €17,45017,450 million (for 2009, €12,85812,858 million), with the difference between net operating income and operating income resulting primarily from taxes on net operating income of €10,13110,131 million (for 2009, €7,4867,486 million), partially offset by income from equity affiliates and other items of €1,5331,533 million (for 2009, €846846 million).

The increase in net operating income in 2010 compared to 2009 was due primarily to the impact of higher hydrocarbon prices and production growth.

Over the full year 2010, adjusted net operating income for the Upstream segment was €8,5978,597 million compared to €6,3826,382 million in 2009, an increase of 35%, essentially due to hydrocarbon prices (+2.3 billion). Technical costs for consolidated subsidiaries, in accordance with ASC 932(2) were $16.6/boe in 2010, compared to $15.4 $15.4/boe in 2009, mainly due to depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) charges related notably to thestart-up of new projects and increased operating expenses per barrel.

Adjusted net operating income for the Upstream segment excludes special items. In 2010, the exclusion of special items (comprised principally of capital gains on asset sales partially offset by asset impairments) had a negative impact of €255255 million on adjusted net operating income for the Upstream segment compared to a positive impact of €164164 million in 2009 (comprised principally of asset impairments and other elements).

The Upstream segment’s total capital expenditures increased by 34% to €13,20813,208 million in 2010 from €9,8559,855 million in 2009. The capital expenditures in 2010 mainly included projects in the following countries: Angola, the United States, Nigeria, Canada, Norway, Kazakhstan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, the Republic of the Congo, Libya, Gabon and Thailand.

ROACE for the Upstream segment increased to 21% in 2010 from 18% in 2009. The increase was mainly due to the adjusted net operating income having increased, principally due to increased hydrocarbon prices and production.

 
2009 vs. 2008
Upstream segment sales (excluding sales to other segments) were down 34% to €16,072 million in 2009 compared to €24,256 million in 2008, reflecting essentially lower average hydrocarbon prices and a decrease in production, which were partially offset by the impact of the appreciation of the dollar compared to the euro.
In 2009, TOTAL’s average liquids price realization(3) decreased 36% to $58.1/b from $91.1/b in 2008, in line with the decrease in the average Brent price of oil, which was $61.7/b in 2009 compared to $97.3/b in 2008. TOTAL’s average natural gas price realization(3) decreased 30% to $5.17/MBtu in 2009 from $7.38/MBtu in 2008.
For the full year 2009, oil and gas production averaged 2,281 kboe/d, compared to 2,341 kboe/d in 2008. This 2.6% decrease was due mainly to the negative impacts of OPEC reductions and lower gas demand (-3%), changes in the portfolio, essentially in Venezuela and Libya (-2%), and disruptions in Nigeria related to security issues (-1%), partially offset by the positive impact oframp-ups andstart-ups of new fields net of the normal decline on existing fields (+2%) and the price effect(1) (+1.5%). Excluding the impact of OPEC reductions, production was stable compared to 2008.
Proved reserves based on the revised rules published by the SEC in December 2008 were 10,483 Mboe at December 31, 2009 (Brent at $59.91/b), compared to 10,458 Mboe at December 31, 2008. At the 2009 average rate of production, the reserve life is more than twelve years.

information on proved reserves, including tables showing changes in proved reserves by region.
Upstream net operating income in 2009 amounted to €6,218 million (for 2008, €10,446 million) from operating income of €12,858 million (for 2008, €23,468 million), with the difference resulting primarily from taxes on net operating income of €7,486 million (€14,563 million in 2008), partially offset by income from equity affiliates and other items of €846 million (€1,541 million in 2008).
Over the full year 2009, adjusted net operating income for the Upstream segment was €6,382 million compared to €10,724 million in 2008, a decrease of 40%, essentially due to lower hydrocarbon prices (-€4.6 billion), partially offset by the positive impact of a slightly stronger dollar compared to the euro (+€0.4 billion). Technical costs for consolidated subsidiaries, in accordance with ASC 932 were $15.4/boe in 2009, stable compared to 2008, with a decrease of 8% in operating expenses per barrel offsetting an increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) charges related notably to thestart-up of new projects.
Adjusted net operating income for the Upstream segment excludes special items. In 2009, the exclusion of special items (comprised principally of asset impairments and other elements) had a positive impact of €164 million on adjusted net operating income for the Upstream segment compared to a positive impact of €278 million in 2008 (comprised principally of an asset impairment of €171 million on the Joslyn project and the net impact of contract renegotiations of €106 million).
The Upstream segment’s total capital expenditures decreased by 2% to €9,855 million in 2009 from €10,017 million in 2008. The capital expenditures in 2009 mainly included the following projects: Kashagan in Kazakhstan; Pazflor, Angola LNG and Tombua Landana in Angola; Akpo, Usan and Ofon II in Nigeria; Ekofisk in Norway; the Mahakam zone in Indonesia; the Alwyn zone in the United Kingdom; Moho Bilondo in the Republic of the Congo; and Anguille in Gabon.
ROACE for the Upstream segment decreased to 18.2% in 2009 from 35.9% in 2008. The decrease was mainly due to the adjusted net operating income having decreased, principally due to lower hydrocarbon prices.

20102011 vs. 20092010

For the full year 2010,2011, the Group’s European Refining Margin Indicator (ERMI) was 27.4 $/$17.4/t, an increasea decrease of 54%36% compared to 2009.

2010.

Downstream segment sales (excluding sales to other segments) were €123,245141,907 million in 2011 compared to123,245 million in 2010, an increase of 15% essentially due to the impact of higher hydrocarbon prices.

Refined product sales (including trading operations) were 3,639 kb/d in 2011, a decrease of 4% compared to 3,776 kb/d in 2010. Refinery throughput in 2011 was 1,863 kb/d, a 7% decrease compared to 2,009 kb/d in 2010 essentially due to the sale of the Group’s interest in CEPSA and a higher level of major turnarounds than in

2010. In 2011, major turnarounds took place in the Antwerp, Grandpuits, Leuna, Lindsey and Port Arthur refineries. For the full year 2011, the refinery utilization rate based on crude throughput was 78% (83% for crude and other feedstock) compared to 73% in 2010 (77% for crude and other feedstock). In 2010, the utilization rate was impacted by the shutdown of the Dunkirk refinery and a distillation unit at the Normandy refinery as well as impacts from strikes in France.

In 2011, Downstream net operating income increased to1,686 million (for 2010,922 million) from operating income of1,694 million (for 2010,982 million), with the difference between net operating income and operating income resulting primarily from taxes on net operating income of409 million (for 2010,201 million), partially

offset by income from equity affiliates and other items of401 million (for 2010,141 million). The increase in net operating income in 2011 compared to 2010 was due primarily to the impact of higher hydrocarbon prices, gains on asset sales and lower impairment charges.

The Downstream segment’s adjusted net operating income in 2011 was1,083 million compared to1,168 million in 2010. The decrease was essentially due to the negative impact of the deterioration in refining margins in 2011.

Adjusted net operating income for the Downstream segment excludes any after-tax inventory valuation effect and special items. The adjustment for the inventory valuation effect had a negative impact on Downstream adjusted net operating income in 2011 of859 million compared to a negative impact of640 million in 2010. The exclusion of special items (comprised essentially of impairments on European refining assets (as described below), partially offset by gains on asset sales) in 2011 had a positive impact of256 million on adjusted net operating income. In 2010, the exclusion of special items (comprised essentially of impairments on European refining assets partially offset by gains on asset sales) had a positive impact of886 million on adjusted net operating income.

The persistence of an unfavorable economic environment for refining, affecting Europe in particular, led the Group to recognize an impairment in the Downstream segment on European refining assets in the third and fourth quarters of 2011 in the amount of700 million in operating income and478 million in net income. These elements have been treated as adjustment items.

Investments by the Downstream segment were1,870 million in 2011, a decrease of 20% compared to2,343 million in 2010. Divestments by the Downstream segment were3,235 million in 2011, comprised essentially of the Group’s stake in CEPSA and certain distribution activities in the United Kingdom, compared to499 million in 2010.

ROACE for the Downstream segment was 7% in 2011 compared to 8% in 2010.

2010 vs. 2009

For the full year 2010, the Group’s ERMI was $27.4/t, an increase of 54% compared to 2009.

Downstream segment sales (excluding sales to other segments) were123,245 million in 2010, an increase of 23% from €100,518100,518 million in 2009.

Refined product sales (including trading operations) were 3,776 kb/d in 2010, an increase of 4% compared to 3,616 kb/d in 2009. Refinery throughput in 2010 was 2,009 kb/d, a 7% decrease compared to 2,151 kb/d in

2009. For the full year 2010, the refinery utilization rate based on crude throughput was 73% (77% for crude and other feedstock) compared to 78% in 2009 (83% for crude and other feedstock), reflecting essentially the shutdown of the Dunkirk refinery and a distillation unit at the Normandy refinery as well as impacts from strikes in France. In 2010, the level of scheduled turnarounds for refinery maintenance was low, with turnaround activity expected to increase notably in 2011.

In 2010, Downstream net operating income decreased to €922922 million (for 2009, €1,7731,773 million) from operating income of €982982 million (for 2009, €2,2372,237 million), with the difference between net operating income and operating income resulting primarily from taxes on net operating income of €201201 million (for 2009, €633633 million), partially offset by income from equity affiliates and other items of


71


141 million (for 2009, €169169 million). The decrease in net operating income in 2010 compared to 2009 was due primarily to the impairment charge for French and UK refining assets referred to below.

The Downstream segment’s adjusted net operating income in 2010 was €1,1681,168 million compared to €953953 million in 2009. The increase iswas essentially due to the positive impact of the refining margin improvement, which was partially offset by lower throughput and reliability of the Group’s refineries in 2010 and less favorable conditions for supply optimization.

Adjusted net operating income for the Downstream segment excludes any after-tax inventory valuation effect and special items. The adjustment for the inventory valuation effect had a negative impact on Downstream adjusted net operating income in 2010 of €640640 million compared to a negative impact of €1,2851,285 million in 2009. The exclusion of special items (comprised essentially of impairments on European refining assets (as described below), partially offset by gains on asset sales) in 2010 had a positive impact of €886886 million on adjusted net operating income. In 2009, the exclusion of special items (relating mainly to refining asset impairments and other elements) had a positive impact of €465465 million on adjusted net operating income.

The persistence of an unfavorable economic environment for refining, affecting Europe in particular, led the Group to recognize an impairment in the Downstream segment, essentially on French and UK refining assets, in the fourth quarter 2010 in the amount of €1,1921,192 million in operating income and €913913 million in net operating income. These elements have been treated as adjustment items.

Investments by the Downstream segment were €2,3432,343 million in 2010, compared to €2,7712,771 million in 2009.

Refinery throughput in 2009 was 2,151 kb/d, a 9% decrease compared to 2,362 kb/d in 2008. For the full year 2009, the refinery utilization rate based on crude throughput was 78% (83% for crude and other feedstock) compared to 88% in 2008 (91% for crude and other feedstock), reflecting the voluntary throughput reductions in the Group’s refineries. Five refineries had scheduled turnarounds for maintenance in 2009 compared to six in 2008.
In 2009, Downstream net operating income increased to €1,773 million (for 2008, €525 million) from operating income of €2,237 million (for 2008, €826 million), with the difference between net operating income and operating income resulting primarily from taxes on net operating income of €633 million (for 2008, €143 million), partially offset by income from equity affiliates and other items of €169 million (for 2008, loss of €158 million).
The Downstream segment’s adjusted net operating income in 2009 decreased 63% to €953 million compared to €2,569 million in 2008, reflecting essentially the sharp decrease in the demand for refined products and in refining margins.

TOTAL’s cash requirements for working capital, share buybacks, capital expenditures, acquisitions and acquisitionsdividend payments over the past three years were financed primarily by a combination of funds generated from operations, borrowings and divestments of non-core assets. In the current environment, TOTAL expects its external debt to be principally financed from the international debt capital markets. The Group continually monitors the balance between cash flow from operating activities and net expenditures. In the Company’s opinion, its working capital is sufficient for its present requirements.

Capital expenditures

The largest part (approximately 85%) of TOTAL’s capital expenditures isin 2011 was made up of additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (approximately 73%), with the remainder attributable to equity-method affiliates and to acquisitions of subsidiaries. In the Upstream segment, as described in more detail under “Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (Unaudited) — Costs incurred in oil and gas property acquisition, exploration and development activities”, capital expenditures arein 2011 were principally development costs (approximately 65%50%, mainly for construction of new production facilities), exploration expenditures (successful or unsuccessful, approximately 10%5%) and acquisitions of proved and unproved properties (approximately 25%40%). In the Downstream segment, about 70%55% of capital expenditures arein 2011 were related to refining activities (essentially 40%70% for existing units including maintenance and major turnarounds and 60%30% for

new construction), the balance being used inrelated to marketing/retail activities and for information systems. In the Chemicals segment, capital expenditures relaterelated to all activities in 2011 and arewere split between Base Chemicals (approximately 75%60%) and Specialties Chemicals (approximately 25%40%). For information on expenditures by business segment, please refer to the discussion of TOTAL’s results for each segment above.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities was €18,49319,536 million in 2011 compared to18,493 million in 2010 compared to €12,360and12,360 million in 2009 and €18,669 million in 2008.2009. The €6,1331,043 million increase in cash flow from operating activities from 20092010 to 20102011 was due in part to higher net income (Group share), which increased by €2,1241,705 million over the same period. The cash flow from operating activities was also affected by the effect of changes in oil and oil product prices on the Group’s working capital requirement. As IFRS rules require TOTAL to account for inventories of petroleum products according to the FIFO method, an increase in oil and oil product prices at the end of the relevant period compared to the beginning of the same period generates, all other factors remaining equal, an increase in inventories and accounts receivable net of an increase in accounts payable, resulting in an increase in working capital requirements. Similarly, a decrease in oil and oil products prices generates a decrease in working capital requirements. In 2010,2011, the Group’s working capital requirement increased by €496 million. In 2009, the Group’s working capital requirement increased by €3,3161,739 million, due primarily to

the increase in oil and oil products prices over the course of the year.

In 2010, the increase was of496 million.

Cash flow used in investing activities was €11,95715,963 million in 2011 compared to11,957 million in 2010 compared to €10,268and10,268 million in 2009 and €11,0552009. The increase from 2010 to 2011 was due essentially to the higher level of acquisitions made in 2011 as well as to the larger portfolio of upstream projects that were under development in 2011.

Total expenditures were24,541 million in 2008.

Total expenditures were €16,2732011, up 51% from16,273 million in 2010, upafter having increased 22% from €13,34913,349 million in 2009, after having decreased 2% from €13,640 million in 2008.2009. During 2010, 81%2011, 88% of the expenditures were made by the Upstream segment (as compared to 81% in 2010 and 74% in 2009 and 73% in 2008)2009), 14%8% by the Downstream segment (as compared to 14% in 2010 and 21% in 20092009) and 18% in 2008) and 4%3% by the Chemicals segment (as compared to 4% in 2010 and 5% in 2009 and 8% in 2008)2009). The main source of funding for these expenditures has been cash from operating activities.
For additional information on expenditures, please refer to the discussions in “— Overview” and “— Results 2009-2011”.

Divestments, based on selling price and net of cash sold, were €4,3168,578 million in 2011, compared to4,316 million in 2010 compared to €3,081and3,081 million in 20092009. In 2011, the Group’s principal divestments were asset sales of7,705 million, consisting mainly of the Group’s interests in CEPSA, of its Marketing assets in the United Kingdom, of its photocure and €2,585 millioncoatings resins businesses, of its interests in 2008.Total E&P Cameroun and of Sanofi shares. In 2010, the Group’s principal divestments were asset sales of €3,4423,452 million, consisting mainly of Sanofi-AventisSanofi shares and the

Over the2008-2010 2009-2011 period, TOTAL used its net cash flow (cash flow from operating activities less investments plus divestments) to maintain this ratio generally in its targettargeted range of around 25% to 30%, primarily by managing net debt, (as described above), while net income increased shareholders’ equity and dividends paid throughout the period and repurchases of shares performed in 2008 decreased shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2010,2011, TOTAL S.A. had $9,592$10,139 million of long-term confirmed lines of credit, of which $9,581$10,096 million were unused.

Director independence

At its meeting on February 10, 2011,9, 2012, the Board of Directors, acting on a proposal fromthe recommendation of the Nominating & Governance Committee, reviewed the independence of the Company’s

directors as of December 31, 2010. Also based on2011. At the Committee’s proposal,suggestion, the Board considered that, pursuant to the AFEP-MEDEF Code, a director is independent when “he or she has no relationship of any nature,kind with the company,Company, its group,Group or the management of either,its Management, that may compromise the exercise of his or her freedom of judgment”.

For each director, this assessment relies on the independence criteria set forth in the AFEP-MEDEF Code as reminded thereafter:hereafter:

not to be an employee or a director of the Company, or a Group company, and not having been in such a position for the previous five years;

not to be a director of a company in which the Company holds a directorship or in which an employee appointed as such or an executive director of the company is a director;

• not to be an employee or a director of the Company, or a Group company, and not having been in such a position for the previous five years;
• not to be an executive director of a company in which the Company holds a directorship or in which an employee appointed as such or an executive director of the company is a director;
• not to be a customer, supplier, investment banker or commercial banker for a significant part of whose business the company or its Group accounts;
• not to be related by close family ties to an executive director;
• not to have been an auditor of the Company within the previous five years;
• 

not to be a material customer, supplier, investment banker or commercial banker of the Company or Group and for which the Company or the Group is not a material part of their business;

not to be related by close family ties to a corporate executive officer;

not to have been an auditor of the Company within the previous five years;

not to have been a director of the Company for more than twelve years (upon expiry term of office during which the12-year limit is reached).

In addition, the Board of Directors acknowledged Mr. Desmarest’s term of office as member ofduring which the Supervisory Board of Areva has terminated since March 5, 2010.12-year limit is reached).

The AFEP-MEDEF Code expressly stipulates that the Board can decide that the implementation of certain defined criteria is not relevant or induces an interpretation that is particular to the Company.

With regard to the criterion applying to twelve years of service, the AFEP-MEDEF code states that “the status of independent director due to the application of this criterion shall only be relinquished at the end of the directorship during which the 12-year period is exceeded”. Pursuant to the report of the Nominating & Governance Committee, on February 9, 2012, the Board observed that Mr. Bouton and Mr. de Rudder had exceeded twelve years of service on December 31, 2011. Since the directorships of Messrs. Bouton and de Rudder had been renewed before the twelve-year period expired, the Board decided that they can still be considered as independent directors, according to the AFEP-MEDEF code.

Concerning “material” relationships, as a client, supplier, investment or finance banker, between a director and the

Company, the Board deemed that the level of activity between Group companies and the bank at which one of its Directors is an officer, which is less than 0.1% of its net banking income and less than 5% of the Group’s overall assets, represents neither a material portion of the overall activity of such bank nor a material portion of the Group’s external financing. The Board concluded that Mr. Pébereau should be considered as independent.

Mrs.

Similarly, the Board of Directors deemed that the level of activity between Group companies and one of its suppliers, Stena AB, of which Mr. Brock is a director, which is less than 2.68% of Stena AB’s turnover, represents neither a material portion of the supplier’s overall activity nor a material portion of the Group’s purchasing. The Board concluded that Mr. Brock could be considered as an independent director.

Mmes. Barbizet, Coisne-Roquette, Kux and Lauvergeon and Messrs. Artus, Bouton, Brock, Collomb, Desmarais, Jacquillat, Mandil, Pébereau and de Rudder and Lord Levene of Portsoken were deemed to be independent directors.

80% of the directors are independent.

were independent on December 31, 2011.

Moreover, the Board noted that the directorships of Ms. Lauvergeon and Messrs. Collomb and Pébereau will exceed twelve years on March 22, 2012 for Messrs. Collomb and Pébereau, and on May 25, 2012 for Ms. Lauvergeron, after the Shareholders’ meeting that will be invited to renew her directorship on May 11, 2012. The Board also noted the absence of potential conflicts between the interestsDirectors deemed that, for a company with a long-term activity and investment cycles of the Companymore than ten years, extended directorships and the private interestscorresponding experience represent an asset for the Group and a means of consolidating the independence of judgment of its directors.

As a result, Mr. de Margerie has been appointed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the GroupTOTAL S.A. since May 21, 2010.

The Board of Directors deemed that the unified management form was the most appropriate to the Group’s business and specificities of the oil and gas sector. This decision was made taking into account the advantage of the unified management and the majoritycomposition of independent directors appointed to the Committees of the Board that comprise a significant portion of independent directors, which ensures balanced authority.

The management form selected shall remain in effect until a decision to the contrary is made by the Board of Directors.

performance conditions that are deemed to be met if at least two of the following three criteria are satisfied:

• The average ROE (Return on Equity) over the three years immediately preceding the year in which the officer retires is at least 12%;
• The average ROACE (Return on Average Capital Employed) over the three years immediately preceding the year in which the officer retires is at least 10%;
• TOTAL’s oil and gas production growth over the three years immediately preceding the year in which the officer retires is greater than or equal to the average production growth rate of the four other major international oil companies that are its competitors: ExxonMobil, Shell, BP and Chevron.

the average ROE (return on equity) over the three years immediately preceding the year in which the officer retires is at least 12%;

the average ROACE (return on average capital employed) over the three years immediately preceding the year in which the officer retires is at least 10%;

TOTAL’s oil and gas production growth over the three years immediately preceding the year in which the officer retires is greater than or equal to the average production growth rate of the four other major international oil companies that are its competitors: ExxonMobil, Shell, BP and Chevron.

In compliance with the AFEP-MEDEF Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors decided that payment of the lump-sum retirement benefit or compensation for loss of office shall be subject to demanding performance conditions combining both internal and external performance criteria.

The three criteria were selected to take into account the Company’s general interest, shareholder interests and standard market practices, especially in the oil and gas industry.

More specifically, ROE enables the payment of the retirement benefit or compensation for loss of office to be tied to the Company’s overall shareholder return. Shareholders can use ROE to gauge the Company’s ability to generate profit from the capital they have invested and from prior years’ earnings reinvested in the Company.

ROACE is used by most oil and gas companies to assess the operational performance of average capital employed, regardless of whether it is funded by equity or debt. ROACE is an indicator of the return on capital employed by the Company for operational activities and, as a result, makes it possible to tie the payment of the retirement benefit or compensation for loss of office to the value created for the Company.

 

The third and last criterion used by the Board of Directors is the Group’s oil and gas production growth compared with that of its competitors. This indicator is widely used in the industry to measure operational performance and the ability to ensure the sustainable development of the Group, most of whose capital expenditure is allocated to exploration and production activities.

8)In addition, regarding the implementation of the pension commitments described in items 1)points 1 and 2) 2
above made by the Company for directors for fiscal year 2010:
• Mr. Desmarest received, due to his previous employment by the Group, a supplementary pension amounting to €320,341 for 2010 (retired since May 22, 2010).

• For Mr. Tchuruk, the annual supplementary pension relatedrelation to his previous employment by the Group was approximately €74,914562,354 (December 31, 20102011 value), adjusted in line with changes in the value of the ARRCO pension point.

9) As of December 31, 2010,2011, the total amount of the Group’s commitments under pension plans and similar for company officers is equal to €28.731.2 million.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

For several years, TOTAL has been actively examining corporate governance matters. At its meeting on November 4, 2008, the Board of Directors confirmed its decision to userefer to the Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies published by the principal French business confederations, theAssociation Française des Entreprises Privées(AFEP) and theMouvement des Entreprises de France (MEDEF) (“AFEP-MEDEF Code”) as its reference for corporate governance matters.

The AFEP-MEDEF Code was amended in April 2010 to make recommendations related to the balanced number of men and women sitting in Board and Committees’ meetings. The code recommends that a target of at least 20% of women be reached before April 2013 and at least 40% before April 2016. These requirements were also stipulated in the French law of January 27, 2011 regarding balanced representation of men and women on Boards of Directors and Supervisory Boards and equal opportunity. The law states that the 20% threshold must be attained at the end of the 2014 Shareholders’ Meeting and that the 40% threshold must be attained at the end of the 2017 Shareholders’ Meeting.

As of December 31, 2010,2011, the Company’s Board of Directors was comprised of twofour women out of a total of fifteen members (i.e.,13% 26%). At the Shareholders’ Meeting in May 2011,2012, it will be proposed to appoint twoone additional womenwoman to replace two directorsone director whose terms areterm is coming to an end. If the resolutions areresolution is approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting, the percentageproportion of women sitting inon the Board will rise to 26%.be one-third. The Board of Directors will keep examining corporate governance issues to continuekeep diversifying in the years to come.

The Company’s corporate governance

At its meeting on February 8, 2012, the Nominating & Governance Committee examined current practices differ from the recommendations contained in the Company in view of the AFEP-MEDEF Code oncode and concluded that the following limited matters:

• The AFEP-MEDEF Code recommends that a director no longer be considered as independent upon the expiry of the term of office during which the length of his service on the board reaches twelve years. The Board has not followed this recommendation with regards to one of its members considering the long-term nature of its investments and operation as well as the experience and authority of which this director is in possession, which reinforce his independence and contribute to the Board’s work. This directorship expired on May 21, 2010.
• Company complied with almost all the recommendations.

Mr. Thierry Desmarest, chairs the Nominating & Governance Committee since it was created in February 2007. Although Mr. Desmarest chaired the Board of Directors until May 2010, the Board and this Committee considered that Mr. Desmarest chairing the Nominating & Governance Committee would enable this Committee to benefit from his experience and his knowledge of the Company’s businesses, environment and executive teams, which is particularly useful to inform the Committee’s deliberations concerning the appointment of executives and directors. This committee is comprised of a majority of independent directors and the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer do not attend deliberations concerning their own situation.

Mr. Desmarest, who was appointed Honorary Chairman of TOTALthe Company and renewed as a director, on May 21, 2010, can still be entrusted with representative missions for the Group.
In compliance with the AFEP-MEDEF Code, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer does not have any employment contract with the Group, or any companyby decision of the Group.
Board of Directors on May 21, 2010.

Since 2004, the Board of Directors has had a Financial Code of Ethics that, in the overall context of the Group’s

Code of Conduct, sets forth specific rules for its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and the financial and accounting officers for its principal activities. The Board has made the Audit Committee responsible for implementing and ensuring compliance with this code.

In 2005, the Board approved the procedure for alerting the Audit Committee of complaints or concerns regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters.

Rules of procedure of the Board of Directors

At its meeting on February 13, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted rules of procedure to replace the Directors’ Charter.

The Board’s rules of procedure specify the obligations of each director and set forth the mission and working procedures of the Board of Directors.

It is reviewed on a regular basis to match the changes in rules and practices related to governance.

Strategic Committee

Rules of procedure (unabridged version)

The members of the Committee are directors of the Company and therefore uphold the rules of procedure of the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A.

Duties:To allow the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A. to ensure the Group’s development, the Committee’s duties include:

examining the overall strategy of the Group proposed by the Company’s general management;

examining operations that are of particular strategic importance;

reviewing competition and the resulting medium and long-term outlook for the Group.

 

Mr. Thierry Desmarest

Composition:The Committee is made up of at least five directors designated by the Board of Directors.

Members of the Committee may not receive from the Company and its subsidiaries, either directly or indirectly, any compensation other than:

directors’ fees paid for their services as directors or as members of the Committee, or, if applicable, as members of another committee of the Company’s Board; and

compensation and pension benefits related to prior employment by the Company, or another Group company, which are not dependent upon future work or activities.

The term of office of the members of the Committee coincides with the term of their appointment as director. The term of office as a member of the Committee may be renewed at the same time as the appointment as director.

However, the Board of Directors can change the composition of the Committee at any time.

Organization of activities:The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company chairs the Committee. The Chairman appoints the Committee secretary, who may be the Secretary of the Board of Directors.

The Committee deliberates when at least one-half of its members are present. A member of the Committee cannot be represented.

The Committee meets at least once a year and at the request of its Chairman, at least one-half of its members, or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Committee Chairman prepares the schedule of its meetings.

Directors who are not members of the Committee are free to participate in the Committee’s meetings. This voluntary participation entitles them to the same directors’ fees as those paid to the members of the Committee for attending meetings.

The Committee may meet with the Chief Executive Officer, and, if applicable, any acting Managing Director of the Company and consult with managers of operating or non-operating departments, as may be useful in performing its duties. The Chairman of the Committee [, if the latter is not the Chief Executive Officer of the Company,] gives prior notice of such meeting to the Chief Executive Officer. In particular, the Committee is authorized to consult with the Vice President Strategy & Business Intelligence of the Company or the person delegated by the latter, by asking the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to call them to a meeting.

If it deems it necessary to accomplish its duties, the Committee may request from the Board of Directors the resources to engage external consultants.

A written summary of Committee meetings is drawn up.

Report:The Committee submits written reports to the Board of Directors regarding its work.

It periodically evaluates its performance based on these rules of procedure and, if applicable, offers suggestions for improving its performance.

Members of the Strategic Committee in 2011

In 2011, the Committee’s members were Mmes. Patricia Barbizet, Barbara Kux and Anne Lauvergeon and Messrs. Christophe de Margerie, Thierry Desmarest, Gunnar Brock, Claude Mandil and Thierry de Rudder.

At its meeting on January 12, 2012, the Board of Directors decided to co-opt Mr. Gérard Lamarche as a director and to nominate him as a member of the Strategic Committee in replacement of Mr. de Rudder, who resigned from his position as a Director.

Mmes. Barbizet, Kux and Lauvergeon and Messrs. Brock, Mandil and Lamarche are independent directors.

As a reminder, directors who are not members of the Committee are free to participate in the Committee’s meetings.

Mr. Christophe de Margerie chairs the Committee.

Board of Directors practices

Management form

On May 21, 2010, the Board of Directors decided to reunify the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and appoint the Chief Executive Officer to the duties of Chairman of the Board. This decision was made further to the work done by the Nominating & Governance Committee and in the best interests of the Company, taking into account the advantage of the unified management and the majority of independent directors appointed at the Committees, which ensures balanced authority.

The Board of Directors deemed that the unified management form was the most appropriate to the Group’s organization,modus operandi and business, and the specificities of the oil and gas sector. It respects the respective prerogatives of the various Company instances (Shareholders’ meeting, Board of Directors, general management).

 

Moreover, the Company by-laws and the respective rules of procedure of the Board of Directors and the Committees provide the guarantees required to implement best governance practices within a unified management framework. In particular, the by-laws allow the Board to nominate one or two Vice-Chairmen. They also state that the Board of Directors can be summoned by any means, even verbally, or at short notice in the event of an emergency, by the Chairman, a Vice-Chairman, or one third of the members, at any time and whenever the Company so requires. The rules of procedure of the Board of Directors also state that each Director is required to inform the Board of Directors of any conflicts of interest with the Company or with any other company in the Group, and to abstain from voting on the resolution in question, and even to refrain from taking part in the debate preceding the vote.

Performance and evaluation

At its meeting on February 10, 2011, the Board of Directors discussed its practices and stated it was globally satisfied with such practices.

Compliant with the recommendation by the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board made suggestions for improvement with respect to broadening criteria when benchmarking with other companies, and for a thorough

study of the Group’s opportunities in the energy sector. These proposals were implemented at the meeting of the new Strategic Committee and when the report of the meeting was presented to the Board of Directors.

At its meeting of February 9, 2012, the Board of Directors discussed its practices on the basis of a formal evaluation carried out by means of a detailed questionnaire completed by all of the directors. The responses were then submitted for examination by the Nominating & Governance Committee and summarized. It is this summary that was discussed by the Board of Directors.

The formal evaluation showed a generally positive opinion of the practices of the Board of Directors and the Committees, which highlighted that the improvements requested by the directors in 2011 had been made. The Board therefore stated that it was globally satisfied with its practices and suggested improvements mainly relating to more in-depth strategic reflection. This has already been put in place with the Strategic Committee, and work in this area will continue for the benefit of the Board of Directors and the Group.

Arrangements for involving employees in the Company’s share capital

Pursuant to agreements signed on March 15, 2002, as amended, the Group created a “Total Group Savings Plan” (PEGT), a “Partnership for Voluntary Wage Savings Plan” (PPESV, later becoming PERCO) and a “Complementary Company Savings Plan” (PEC) for employees of the Group’s French companies having adhered to these plans. These plans allow investments in a number of mutual funds including one invested in Company shares (“TOTAL

ACTIONNARIAT FRANCE”). A “Shareholder Group Savings Plan” (PEG-A) has also been in place since November 19, 1999 to facilitate capital increases reserved for employees of the Group’s French and foreign subsidiaries covered by these plans.

Company savings plans

The various Company savings plans (PEGT, PEC) give the employees of French Group Companies belonging to these savings plans access to several collective investment funds (Fondsfonds communs de placement), including a Fundfund invested in shares of the Company (“TOTAL ACTIONNARIAT FRANCE”).

 

The capital increases reserved for employees are conducted under PEG-A through the “TOTAL ACTIONNARIAT FRANCE” fund for employees of the Group’s French subsidiaries and through the “TOTAL ACTIONNARIAT INTERNATIONAL CAPITALISATION” fund for the employees of foreign subsidiaries. In addition, U.S. employees participate in these operations through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Italian employees (as well as German employees starting in 2011) may participate by directly subscribing to new shares at the GroupCaisse Autonomein Belgium.

Antitrust investigations

The principal antitrust proceedings in which the Group’s companies are involved are described below.

Chemicals

As part of the spin-off of Arkema(1) in 2006, TOTAL S.A. or certain other Group companies agreed

to grant Arkema a guarantee for potential monetary consequences related to antitrust proceedings arising from events prior to the spin-off.

This guarantee covers, for a period of ten years from the date of the spin-off, 90% of amounts paid by Arkema related to (i) fines imposed by European authorities or European member-states for competition law violations, (ii) fines imposed by U.S. courts or antitrust authorities for federal antitrust violations or violations of the competition laws of U.S. states, (iii) damages awarded in civil proceedings related to the government proceedings mentioned above, and (iv) certain costs related to these proceedings. The guarantee related to anti-competition violations in Europe applies to amounts above a176.5 million threshold. On the other hand, the agreements provide that Arkema will indemnify TOTAL S.A. or any Group company for 10% of any amount that TOTAL S.A. or any Group company are required to pay under any of the proceedings covered by this guarantee, in Europe.

If one or more individuals or legal entities, acting alone or together, directly or indirectly holds more than one-third of the voting rights of Arkema, or if Arkema transfers more than 50% of its assets (as calculated under the enterprise valuation method, as of the date

Arkema is used in this section to designate those companies of the Arkema group whose ultimate parent company is Arkema S.A. Arkema became an independent company after being spun-off from TOTAL S.A. in May 2006.

of the transfer) to a third party or parties acting together, irrespective of the type or number of transfers, this guarantee will become void.

In the United States, civil liability lawsuits, for which TOTAL S.A. has been named as the parent company, are closed without significant impact on the Group’s financial position.

Grande ParoisseIn Europe, since 2006, the European Commission has fined companies of the Group in its configuration prior to the spin-off an overall amount of385.47 million, of which Elf Aquitaine and/or TOTAL S.A. were held jointly liable for280.17 million, Elf Aquitaine being personally fined23.6 million for deterrence. These fines are entirely settled as of today.

As a result, since the spin-off, the Group has paid the overall amount of188.07 million(1), corresponding to 90% of the fines overall amount once the threshold provided for by the guarantee is deducted to which an amount of31.31 million of interest has been added as explained hereinafter.

The European Commission imposed these fines following investigations between 2000 and 2004 into commercial practices involving eight products sold by Arkema. Five of these investigations resulted in prosecutions from the European Commission for which Elf Aquitaine has been named as the parent company, and two of these investigations named TOTAL S.A. as the ultimate parent company of the Group.

TOTAL S.A. and Elf Aquitaine are contesting their liability based solely on their status as parent companies and appealed for cancellation and reformation of the rulings that are still pending before the relevant EU court of appeals or supreme court of appeals.

During the year 2011, four of the proceedings have evolved and are closed as far as Arkema is concerned:

-

In one of these proceedings, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has rejected the action of Arkema while the decisions of the European Commission and of the General Court of the European Union against the parent companies have been squashed. Consequently, this proceeding is definitively closed regarding Arkema as well as the parent companies.

-

In two other proceedings, previous decisions against Arkema and the parent companies have been upheld by the General Court of the European Union. While the parent companies have introduced an appeal before the CJEU, Arkema did not appeal to the CJEU.

-

Finally, in a last proceeding, the General Court has decided to reduce the amount of the fine initially ordered against Arkema while, in parallel, it has rejected the actions of the parent companies that have remained obliged to pay the whole amount of the fine initially ordered by the European Commission. Arkema has accepted this decision while the parent companies have introduced an appeal before the CJEU.

With the exception of the31.31 million of interest charged by the European Commission to the parent companies, which has been required to pay in accordance with the decision concerning the last proceeding referred hereinabove, the evolution of the proceedings during the year 2011 did not modify the global amount assumed by the Group in execution of the guarantee.

In addition, civil proceedings against Arkema and other groups of companies were initiated in 2009 and 2011, respectively, before the German and Dutch courts by third parties for alleged damages pursuant to two of the above mentioned legal proceedings. TOTAL S.A. was summoned to serve notice of the dispute before the German court. At this point, the probability to have a favorable verdict and the financial impacts of these proceedings are uncertain due to the number of legal difficulties they give rise to, the lack of documented claims and evaluations of the alleged damages.

Arkema began implementing compliance procedures in 2001 that are designed to prevent its employees from violating antitrust provisions. However, it is not possible to exclude the possibility that the relevant authorities could commence additional proceedings involving Arkema regarding events prior to the spin-off, as well as Elf Aquitaine and/or TOTAL S.A. based on their status as parent company.

Within the framework of all of the legal proceedings described above, a17 million reserve remains booked in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011.

 

(1)This amount does not take into account a case that led to Arkema, prior to Arkema’s spin-off from TOTAL, and Elf Aquitaine being fined jointly45 million and Arkema being fined13.5 million.

Downstream

Pursuant to a statement of objections received by Total Nederland N.V. and TOTAL S.A. (based on its status as parent company) from the European Commission, Total Nederland N.V. was fined20.25 million in 2006, for which TOTAL S.A. was held jointly liable for13.5 million. TOTAL S.A. appealed this decision before the relevant court and this appeal is still pending.

In addition, pursuant to a statement of objections received by Total Raffinage Marketing (formerly Total France) and TOTAL S.A. from the European Commission regarding another product line of the Refining & Marketing division, Total Raffinage Marketing was fined128.2 million in 2008, which has been paid, and for which TOTAL S.A. was held jointly liable based on its status as parent company. TOTAL S.A. also appealed this decision before the relevant court and this appeal is still pending.

In addition, civil proceedings against TOTAL S.A and Total Raffinage Marketing and other companies were initiated before U.K and Dutch courts by third parties for alleged damages in connection with the prosecutions brought by the European Commission in this case. At this point, the probability to have a favorable verdict and the financial impacts of these procedures are uncertain due to the number of legal difficulties they gave rise to, the lack of documented claims and evaluations of the alleged damages.

Within the framework of the legal proceedings described above, a30 million reserve is booked in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011.

Whatever the evolution of the proceedings described above, the Group believes that their outcome should not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial situation or consolidated results.

Grande Paroisse

An explosion occurred at the Grande Paroisse industrial site in the city of Toulouse in France on September 21, 2001. Grande Paroisse, a former subsidiary of Atofina which became a subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine Fertilisants on December 31, 2004, as part of the reorganization of the Chemicals segment, was principally engaged in the production and sale of agricultural fertilizers. The explosion, which involved a stockpile of ammonium nitrate pellets, destroyed a portion of the site and caused the death of thirty-one people, including twenty-one workers at the site, and injured many others. The explosion also caused

significant damage to certain property in part of the city of Toulouse.

This plant has been closed and individual assistance packages have been provided for employees. The site has been rehabilitated.

On December 14, 2006, Grande Paroisse signed, under the supervision of the city of Toulouse, the deed whereby it donated the former site of the AZF plant to the greater agglomeration of Toulouse (CAGT) and theCaisse des dépôts et consignationsand its subsidiary ICADE. Under this deed, TOTAL S.A. guaranteed the site restoration obligations of Grande Paroisse and granted a €1010 million endowment to the InNaBioSanté research foundation as part of the setting up of a cancer research center at the site by the city of Toulouse.

Regarding the cause of the explosion, the hypothesis that the explosion was caused by Grande Paroisse through the accidental mixing of hundreds of kilos of a chlorine compound at a storage site for ammonium nitrate was discredited over the course of the investigation. As a result, proceedings against ten of the eleven Grande Paroisse employees charged during the criminal investigation conducted by the Toulouse Regional Court (Tribunal de grande instance) were dismissed and this dismissal was upheld by the Court of Appeal of Toulouse.on appeal. Nevertheless, the final experts’ report filed on May 11, 2006 continued to focus on the hypothesis of a chemical accident, although this hypothesis was not confirmed during the attempt to reconstruct the accident at the site. After having articulated several hypotheses, the experts no longer maintain that the accident was caused by pouring a large quantity of a chlorine compound over ammonium nitrate. Instead, the experts have retained a scenario where a container of chlorine compound sweepings was poured between a layer of wet ammonium nitrate covering the floor and a quantity of dry agricultural nitrate at a location not far from the principal storage site. This is claimed to have caused an explosion which then spread into the main storage site. Grande Paroisse was investigated based on this new hypothesis in 2006; Grande Paroisse is contesting this explanation, which it believes to be based on elements that are not factually accurate.

The Court of Appeal of Toulouse denied all

All the requests for additional investigations that were submitted by Grande Paroisse, the former site manager and various plaintiffs were denied on appeal after the end of the criminal investigation procedure. On July 9, 2007, the investigating judge brought charges against Grande Paroisse and the former plant manager before the criminal chamber of the Court of Appeal of Toulouse. In late 2008, TOTAL S.A. and Mr. Thierry Desmarest were summoned to appear in courtCourt pursuant to a request by a victims

association. The trial for this case began on February 23, 2009, and lasted approximately four months.


120


On November 19, 2009, the Toulouse Criminal Court acquitted both the former Plant Manager, and Grande Paroisse due to the lack of reliable evidence for the explosion. The Court also ruled that the summonses against TOTAL S.A. and Mr. Thierry Desmarest, Chairman and CEO at the time of the disaster, were inadmissible.

Due to the presumption of civil liability that applied to Grande Paroisse, the Court declared Grande Paroisse civilly liable for the damages caused by the explosion to the victims in its capacity as custodian and operator of the plant.

The Prosecutor’s office, together with certain third parties, has appealed the Toulouse Criminal Court verdict. In order to preserve its rights, Grande Paroisse lodged a cross-appeal with respect to civil charges.

The appeal proceedings are expected to start before the Court of Appeal of Toulouse was completed on November 3, 2011.

March 16, 2012. The decision is expected on September 24, 2012.

A compensation mechanism for victims was set up immediately following the explosion. €2.32.3 billion werewas paid for the compensation of claims and related expenses amounts. As of December 31, 2010,2011, a €3121 million reserve was recorded in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet.

Antitrust investigationsBuncefield

For the year ended 2010, the Group has not been fined pursuant to a Court ruling. The principal antitrust proceedings in which the Group is involved are described hereafter.
Chemicals segment
• As part of the spin-off of Arkema(1) in 2006, TOTAL S.A. or certain other Group companies agreed to grant Arkema guarantees for potential monetary consequences related to antitrust proceedings arising from events prior to the spin-off.
These guarantees cover, for a period of ten years, 90% of amounts paid by Arkema related to (i) fines imposed by European authorities or European member-states for competition law violations, (ii) fines imposed by U.S. courts or antitrust authorities for federal antitrust violations or violations of the competition laws of U.S. states, (iii) damages awarded in civil proceedings related to the government proceedings mentioned above, and (iv) certain costs related to these proceedings. The guarantee related to anti-competition violations in Europe applies to amounts above a €176.5 million threshold. On the other hand, the agreements provide that Arkema will indemnify TOTAL S.A. or any Group company for 10% of any amount that TOTAL S.A. or any Group company are required to pay under any of the proceedings covered by these guarantees.
If one or more individuals or legal entities, acting alone or together, directly or indirectly holds more than one-third of the voting rights of Arkema, or if Arkema transfers more than 50% of its assets (as calculated under the enterprise valuation method, as of the date of the transfer) to a third party or parties acting together, irrespective of the type or number of transfers, these guarantees will become void.
• In the United States, investigations into certain commercial practices of some subsidiaries of the Arkema group have been closed since 2007; no charges have been brought against Arkema. Civil liability lawsuits, for which TOTAL S.A. has been named as the parent company, are about to be closed and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s financial position.
• In Europe, since 2006, the European Commission has fined companies of the Group in its configuration prior to the spin-off an overall amount of €385.47 million, of which Elf Aquitaineand/or TOTAL S.A. and their subsidiaries were held jointly liable for €280.17 million, Elf Aquitaine being personally fined €23.6 million for deterrence. These fines are entirely settled as of today.
As a result(2), since the spin-off, the Group has paid the overall amount of €188.07 million, corresponding to 90% of the fines overall amount once the threshold provided for by the guarantee is deducted.
The European Commission imposed these fines following investigations between 2000 and 2004 into commercial practices involving eight products sold by Arkema. Five of these investigations resulted in prosecutions from the European Commission for which Elf Aquitaine has been named as the parent company and two of these investigations named TOTAL S.A. as the ultimate parent company of the Group.
TOTAL S.A. and Elf Aquitaine are contesting their liability based solely on their status as parent companies and appealed for cancelation and reformation of the rulings that are still pending before the relevant EU court of appeals or supreme court of appeals.
(1)  Arkema is used in this section to designate those companies of the Arkema group whose ultimate parent company is Arkema S.A. Arkema became an independent company after being spun-off from TOTAL S.A. in May 2006.
(2)  This amount does not take into account a case that led to Arkema, prior to Arkema’s spin-off from TOTAL, and Elf Aquitaine being fined jointly €45 million and Arkema being fined €13.5 million. This case is referred to in past Registration Documents.


121


Besides, a civil proceeding against Arkema and five groups of companies was initiated before a German regional court by a third party for an alleged damage pursuant to one of the above described legal proceedings. TOTAL S.A. was summoned to serve notice of the dispute before this court. At this point, the probability to have a favorable verdict and the financial impacts of this procedure are uncertain due to the number of legal difficulties it gave rise to, the lack of documented claim and the complex evaluation of the alleged damage.
Arkema began implementing compliance procedures in 2001 that are designed to prevent its employees from violating antitrust provisions. However, it is not possible to exclude the possibility that the relevant authorities could commence additional proceedings involving Arkema regarding events prior to the spin-off, as well as Elf Aquitaineand/or TOTAL S.A. based on their status as parent company.
Within the framework of the legal proceedings described above, a €17 million reserve is booked in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010.
Downstream segment
• Pursuant to a statement of objections received by Total Nederland N.V. and TOTAL S.A. (based on its status as parent company) from the European Commission, Total Nederland N.V. was fined in 2006 €20.25 million, which has been paid, and for which TOTAL S.A. was held jointly liable for €13.5 million. TOTAL S.A. appealed this decision before the relevant court and this appeal is still pending.
In addition, pursuant to a statement of objections received by Total Raffinage Marketing (formerly Total France) and TOTAL S.A. from the European Commission regarding another product line of the Refining & Marketing division, Total Raffinage Marketing was fined €128.2 million in 2008, which has been paid, and for which TOTAL S.A. was held jointly liable based on its status as parent company. TOTAL S.A. also appealed this decision that is still pending before the relevant court.
• Finally, TotalGaz and Total Raffinage Marketing received in July 2009 a statement of objections from the French Antitrust Authority (Autorité de la concurrence française) regarding alleged antitrust practices concerning another product line of the Refining & Marketing division. The case was dismissed by decision of the French antitrust authorities on December 17, 2010.
Given the discretionary powers granted to the antitrust authorities for determining fines relating to antitrust regulations, it is not currently possible to determine with certainty the outcome of these investigations and proceedings. TOTAL S.A. and Elf Aquitaine are contesting their liability and the method of determining these fines. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, the Group believes that they will not have a material adverse effect on its financial situation or consolidated results.
Sinking of the Erika
Following the sinking in December 1999 of the Erika, a tanker that was transporting products belonging to one of the Group companies, theTribunal de grande instanceof Paris convicted TOTAL S.A. of marine pollution pursuant to a judgment issued on January 16, 2008, finding that TOTAL S.A. was negligent in its vetting procedure for vessel selection and ordering TOTAL S.A. to pay a fine of €375,000. The court also ordered compensation to be paid to those affected by the pollution from the Erika up to an aggregate amount of €192 million, declaring TOTAL S.A. jointly and severally liable for such payments together with the Erika’s inspection and classification firm, the Erika’s owner and the Erika’s manager.
TOTAL has appealed the verdict of January 16, 2008. In the meantime, it nevertheless proposed to pay third parties who so requested definitive compensation as determined by the court. Forty-one third parties have been compensated for an aggregate amount of €171.5 million.
By a decision dated March 30, 2010, the Court of Appeal of Paris upheld the lower court verdict pursuant to which TOTAL S.A. was convicted of marine pollution and fined €375,000. TOTAL appealed this decision to the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation).
However, the Court of Appeal ruled that TOTAL S.A. bears no civil liability according to the applicable international conventions and consequently ruled that TOTAL S.A. be not convicted.
TOTAL S.A. believes that, based on the information currently available, the case should not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial situation or consolidated results.

Buncefield
On December 11, 2005, several explosions, followed by a major fire, occurred at an oil storage depot at Buncefield, north of London. This depot was operated by Hertfordshire Oil Storage Limited (HOSL), a company in which TOTAL’s UK subsidiary holds 60% and another oil group holds 40%.

The explosion caused injuries, most of which were minor injuries, to a number of people and caused property damage to the depot and the buildings and homes located nearby. The official Independent Investigation Board has indicated that the explosion was caused by the overflow of a tank at the depot. The Board’s final report was released on December 11, 2008. The civil procedure for claims, which had not yet been settled, took place between October and December 2008. The Court’s decision of March 20, 2009, declared TOTAL’s UK subsidiary liable for the accident and solely liable for indemnifying the victims. The subsidiary appealed the decision. The appeal trial took place in January 2010. The Court of Appeals, by a decision handed down on March 4, 2010, confirmed the prior judgment. The Supreme Court of United Kingdom has partially authorized TOTAL’s UK subsidiary to contest the decision. TOTAL’s UK subsidiary finally decided to

withdraw from this recourse due to settlement agreements reached in mid-February 2011.

The Group carries insurance for damage to its interests in these facilities, business interruption and civil liability claims from third parties. The provision for the civil liability that appears in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010,2011, stands at €19480 million after taking into account the payments previously made.

The Group believes that, based on the information currently available, on a reasonable estimate of its liability and on provisions recognized, this accident should not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial situation or consolidated results.

In addition, on December 1, 2008, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Environment Agency (EA) issued a Notice of prosecution against five companies, including TOTAL’s UK subsidiary. By a judgment on July 16, 2010, TOTAL’s UKthe subsidiary was fined £3.6 million.million and paid it. The decision takes into account a number of elements that have mitigated the impact of the charges brought against it.

MyanmarSinking of the Erika

Under

Following the Belgian “universal jurisdiction” lawssinking in December 1999 of Junethe Erika, a tanker that was transporting products belonging to one of the Group companies, theTribunal de grande instance of Paris convicted TOTAL S.A. of marine pollution pursuant to a judgment issued on January 16, 19932008, finding that TOTAL S.A. was negligent in its vetting procedure for vessel selection, and February 10, 1999,ordering TOTAL S.A. to pay a complaint was filed in Belgium on April 25, 2002, againstfine of375,000. The Court also ordered compensation to be paid to those affected by the Company, its Chairmanpollution from the Erika up to an aggregate amount of192 million, declaring TOTAL S.A. jointly and severally liable for such payments together with the Erika’s inspection and classification firm, the Erika’s owner and the former presidentErika’s manager.

TOTAL has appealed the verdict of its subsidiary in Myanmar. These laws were repealedJanuary 16, 2008. In the meantime, it nevertheless proposed to pay third parties who so requested definitive compensation as determined by the Belgian lawCourt. Forty-two third parties have been compensated for an aggregate amount of August 5, 2003 on “serious violations of international human rights”, which also provided a procedure for terminating certain proceedings that were underway. In this framework, the BelgianCour de cassationterminated the proceedings against TOTAL in171.5 million.

By a decision dated June 29, 2005. The plaintiffs’ request to withdraw this decision was rejected by theCour de cassationon March 28, 2007.

Despite this decision, the Belgian Ministry of Justice asked the Belgian federal prosecutor to request that the investigating judge reopen the case. The Belgian federal prosecutor decided to submit the admissibility of this request to30, 2010, the Court of Appeal of Brussels. In its decisionParis upheld the lower Court verdict pursuant to which TOTAL S.A. was convicted of March 5, 2008,marine pollution and fined375,000. However, the Court of Appeal confirmedruled that TOTAL S.A. bears no civil liability according to the applicable international conventions and consequently ruled that TOTAL S.A. be not convicted.

TOTAL challenged the criminal law-related issues of this decision before the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation).

To facilitate the payment of damages awarded by the Court of Appeal in Paris to third parties against Erika’s controlling and classification firm, the ship-owner and the ship-manager, a global settlement agreement was signed late 2011 between these parties and TOTAL S.A. under the auspices of the IOPC Fund. Under this global settlement agreement, each party agreed to the withdrawal of all civil proceedings initiated against all other parties to the agreement.

TOTAL S.A. believes that, based on the information currently available, the case should not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial situation or consolidated results.

Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee — Russian regions and Interneft

Blue Rapid, a Panamanian company, and the Russian Olympic Committee filed a claim for damages with the Paris Commercial Court against Elf Aquitaine, alleging a so-called non-completion by a former subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine of a contract related to an exploration and production project in Russia negotiated in the early 1990s. Elf Aquitaine believed this claim to be unfounded and opposed it. On January 12, 2009, the Commercial Court of Paris rejected Blue Rapid’s claim against Elf Aquitaine and found that the Russian Olympic Committee did not have standing in the matter. Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee appealed this decision. On June 30, 2011, the Court of Appeal of Paris dismissed as inadmissible the claim of Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee against Elf Aquitaine, notably on the grounds of the contract’s termination. Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee appealed this decision to the French Supreme Court.

In connection with the same facts, and fifteen years after the termination of the proceedingsexploration and production contract, a Russian company, which was held not to be the contracting party to the contract, and two regions of the Russian Federation which were not even parties to the contract, have launched an arbitration procedure against TOTAL, its Chairmanthe aforementioned former subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine that was liquidated in 2005, claiming alleged damages of U.S.$22.4 billion. For the same reasons as those successfully adjudicated by Elf Aquitaine against Blue Rapid and the former president of its subsidiary, based onRussian Olympic Committee, the principle ofres judicata applyingGroup considers this claim to theCour de cassation’s decision of June 29, 2005. The plaintiffs appealed the decision of March 5, 2008. On October 29, 2008, theCour de cassationrejected the plaintiffs’ appeal, thus ending definitively the proceedings.

TOTAL has always maintained that the accusations made against the Company and its management arising out of the activities of its subsidiary in Myanmar were without substancebe unfounded as to a matter of factlaw or fact. The Group has lodged a criminal complaint to denounce the fraudulent claim which the Group believes it is a victim of and, as a matter of law.has taken and reserved its rights to take other actions and measures to defend its interests.

South AfricaIran

In a threatened class action proceeding in the United States, TOTAL, together with approximately 100 other multinational companies, is the subject of accusations by certain South African citizens who alleged that their human rights were violated during the era of apartheid by the army, the police or militias, and who consider that these companies were accomplices in the actions by the South African authorities at the time.
The claims against the companies named in the class action, which were not officially brought against TOTAL, were dismissed by a federal judge in New York. The plaintiffs appealed this dismissal and, after a procedural hearing on November 3, 2008, decided to remove TOTAL from the list of companies against which it was bringing claims.
Iran

In 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) followed by the Department of Justice (DoJ) issued a formal order directing an investigation in connection with the pursuit of business in Iran, by certain oil companies including, among others, TOTAL.

The inquiry concerns an agreement concluded by the Company with a consultant concerning a gas field in Iran


123


and aims to verify whether certain payments made under this agreement would have benefited Iranian officials in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the Company’s accounting obligations.

Investigations are still pending and the Company is cooperating with the SEC and the DoJ. In 2010, the Company opened talks with U.S. authorities, without any acknowledgement of facts, to consider anout-of-court settlement. Generally,out-of-court settlements with U.S. authorities include payment settlement as it is often the case in this kind of finesproceeding.

Late in 2011, the SEC and the obligationDoJ proposed to improve internal compliance systems or other measures.

TOTAL out-of-court settlements that would close their inquiries, in exchange for TOTAL’s committing to a number of obligations and paying fines. As TOTAL was unable to agree to several substantial elements of the proposal, the Company is continuing discussions with the U.S. authorities. The Company is free not to accept an out-of-court settlement solution, in which case it would be exposed to the risk of prosecution in the United States.

In this same case,affair, a parallel judicial inquiry related to TOTAL was initiated in France in 2006. In 2007, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer was placed under formal investigation in relation to this inquiry, as the former President of the Middle East department of the Group’s Exploration & Production division. The Company has not been notified of any significant developments in the proceedings since the formal investigation was launched.

At this point, the Company cannot determine when these investigations will terminate, and cannot predict their results, or the outcome of the talks that have been initiated, or the costs of a potentialout-of-court settlement.initiated. Resolving this casethese cases is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s financial situation or any impactconsequences on its future planned operations.

Libya

In June 2011, the SEC issued to certain oil companies — including, among others, TOTAL — a formal request for information related to their operations in Libya. TOTAL is cooperating with this non-public investigation.

 

ItalyOil-for-Food Program

As part of an investigation led by the Prosecutor of the Republic of the Potenza court, Total Italia and certain Group’s employees are the subject of an investigation related to certain calls for tenders that Total Italia made for the preparation and development of the Tempa Rossa oil field. On February 16, 2009, as a preliminary measure before the proceedings go before the court, the preliminary investigation judge of Potenza served notice to Total Italia of a decision that would suspend the concession for this field for one year. Total Italia has appealed the decision by the preliminary investigation judge before the Court of Appeal of Potenza. In a decision dated April 8, 2009, the Court reversed the suspension of the Gorgoglione concession and appointed for one year,i.e.until February 16, 2010, a judicial administrator to supervise the operations related to the development of the concession, allowing the Tempa Rossa project to continue.
The criminal investigation was closed in the first half of 2010. The preliminary hearing judge, who will decide whether the case shall be returned to the Criminal Court to be judged on the merits, held the first hearing on December 6, 2010. The next hearing is scheduled during the first half of 2011.
In 2010, Total Italia’s exploration and production operations were transferred to Total E&P Italia and refining and marketing operations were merged with those of Erg Petroli.
Oil-for-Food Program

Several countries have launched investigations concerning possible violations related to the United Nations (UN)Oil-for-Food program in Iraq.

Pursuant to a French criminal investigation, certain current or former Group employees were placed under formal criminal investigation for possible charges as accessories to the misappropriation of corporate assets and as accessories to the corruption of foreign public agents. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, formerly President of the Group’s Exploration & Production division, was also placed under formal investigation in October 2006. In 2007, the criminal investigation was closed and the case was transferred to the Prosecutor’s office. In 2009, the Prosecutor’s office recommended to the investigating judge that the case against the Group’s current and former employees and TOTAL’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer not be pursued.

In early 2010, despite the recommendation of the Prosecutor’s office, a new investigating judge, having taken over the case, decided to indict TOTAL S.A. on bribery charges as well as complicity and influence peddling. The indictment was brought eight years after the beginning of the investigation without any new evidence being added to the affair.

introduced.

In October 2010, the Prosecutor’s office recommended to the investigating judge that the case against TOTAL S.A., the Group’s current and former employees and TOTAL’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer not be pursued. However, by ordinance notified in early August 2011, the investigating judge on the matter decided to send the case to trial. The investigating judge’s decision on this matter is pending.

hearings are expected in the first quarter of 2013.

The Company believes that its activities related to theOil-for-Food program have been in compliance with this program, as organized by the UN in 1996. The Volcker report released by the independent investigating committee set up by the UN had discarded any bribery grievance within the framework of theOil-For-Food program with respect to TOTAL.

The amendment allows the Board, as an exception to the currently applicable sixty-five year age limit, to appoint as Chairman of the Board for a period of up to two years a director who is more than sixty-five years old but less than seventy years old.

Shareholdings

Each director must own at least 1,000 shares of TOTAL during his or her term of office, except the director representing the employees shareholder who shall hold, either individually or through an investment trust governed byArticle L.214-40 of the Monetary & Financial Code (French

(French FCPE), at least one share or a number of stocks in such investment trust amounting to at least one share.

Election

Directors are elected for a term of three years. In 2003, TOTAL amended its Articles of Incorporation to provide for the election of one director to represent employee shareholders. This director was appointed for the first time at the shareholders’ meeting held on May 14, 2004.

Description of Sharesshares

The following is a summary of the material rights of holders of fully paid shares and is based on the bylaws of the Company and French Company Law as codified in Volume II (Livre II) of the French Commercial Code (referred to herein as the “French Company Law”). For more complete information, please read the bylaws of TOTAL S.A., a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report.

Dividend rights

The Company may make dividend distributions to its shareholders from net income in each fiscal year, after deduction of the overhead and other social charges, as well as of any amortization of the business assets and of any provisions for commercial and industrial contingencies, as reduced by any loss carried forward from prior years, and less any contributions to reserves or amounts that the shareholders decide to carry forward. These distributions are also subject to the requirements of French Company Law and the Company’s bylaws.

Under French Company Law, the Company must allocate 5% of its net profits in each fiscal year to a legal reserve fund until the amount in that fund is equal to 10% of the nominal amount of its share capital.

The Company’s bylaws provide that its shareholders may decide to allocate all or a part of any distributable profits among special or general reserves, to carry them forward to the next fiscal year as retained earnings, or to allocate them to the shareholders as dividends. The bylaws provide that the shareholders’ meeting held to approve the financial statements for the financial year may decide to grant an option to each shareholder between payment of the dividend in cash and payment in shares with respect to all or part of the dividend or interim dividends.

Under French Company Law, the Company must distribute dividends to its shareholders pro rata, according to their shareholdings. Dividends are payable to holders of outstanding shares on the date fixed by the shareholders’

meeting approving the distribution of dividends or, in the case of interim dividends, on the date fixed by the Company’s Board of Directors at the meeting that approves the distribution of interim dividends. Under French law, dividends not claimed within five years of the date of payment revert to the French State.

Voting rights

Each shareholder of the Company is entitled to the number of votes he or she possesses, or for which he or she holds proxies. According to French Company Law, voting rights may not be exercised in respect of fractional shares.

According to the Company’s bylaws, each registered share that is fully paid and registered in the name of the same shareholder for a continuous period of at least two years is granted a double voting right after such two-year period. Upon capital increase by capitalization of reserves, profits or premiums on shares, a double voting right is granted to each registered share allocated to a shareholder relating to previously existing shares that already carry double voting rights. The double voting right is automatically canceled when the share is converted into a bearer share or when the share is transferred, unless the transfer is due to inheritance, division of community property between spouses, or a donation during the lifetime of the shareholder to the benefit of a spouse or relatives eligible to inherit.


128


French Company Law limits a shareholder’s right to vote notably in the following circumstances:

shares held by the Company or by entities controlled by the Company under certain conditions, which cannot be voted;

• shares held by the Company or by entities controlled by the Company under certain conditions, which cannot be voted;
• shares held by shareholders making a contribution in-kind to the Company, which cannot be voted with respect to resolutions relating to such in-kind contributions; and
• shares held by interested parties, which cannot be voted with respect to resolutions relating to such shareholders.

shares held by shareholders making a contribution in-kind to the Company, which cannot be voted with respect to resolutions relating to such in-kind contributions; and

shares held by interested parties, which cannot be voted with respect to resolutions relating to such shareholders.

Under the Company’s bylaws, the voting rights exercisable by a shareholder, directly, indirectly or by proxy, at any shareholders’ meeting are limited to 10% of the total number of voting rights attached to the shares on the date of such shareholders’ meeting. This 10% limitation may be increased by taking into account double voting rights held directly or indirectly by the shareholder or by proxy, provided that the voting rights exercisable by a shareholder at any shareholders’ meeting may never exceed 20% of the total number of voting rights attached to the shares.

According to the Company’s bylaws, these limitations on voting lapse automatically if any individual or entity acting

alone or in concert with an individual or entity holds at least two-thirds of the total number of shares as a result of a tender offer for 100% of the shares.

Liquidation rights

In the event the Company is liquidated, its assets remaining after payment of its debts, liquidation expenses and all of its other remaining obligations will first be distributed to repay the nominal value of the shares. After these payments have been made, any surplus will be distributed pro rata among the holders of shares based on the nominal value of their shareholdings.

Redemption provisions

The Company’s shares are not subject to any redemption provisions.

Sinking fund provisions

The Company’s shares are not subject to any sinking fund provisions.

Future capital calls

Shareholders are not liable to the Company for further capital calls on their shares.

Preferential subscription rights

Holders of shares have preferential rights to subscribe on a pro rata basis for additional shares issued for cash. Shareholders may waive their preferential rights, either individually or, under certain circumstances, as a specifically named group at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting. During the subscription period relating to a particular offering of shares, shareholders may transfer their preferential subscription rights that they have not previously waived.

Changes in share capital

Under French Company Law, the Company may increase its share capital only with the approval of its shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (or with a delegation of authority from its shareholders). There are two methods to increase share capital: (i) by issuing additional shares, including the creation of a new class of securities and (ii) by increasing the nominal value of existing shares. The Company may issue additional shares for cash or for assets contributed in kind, upon the conversion of debt securities, or other securities giving access to its share capital, that it may have issued, by capitalization of its reserves, profits or issuance premiums or, subject to certain conditions, in satisfaction of its indebtedness.

 

Under French Company Law, the Company may decrease its share capital only with the approval of its shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (or with a delegation of authority from its shareholders). There are two methods to reduce share capital: (i) by reducing the number of shares outstanding, and (ii) by decreasing the nominal value of existing shares. The conditions under which the share capital may be reduced will vary depending upon whether the reduction is attributable to losses. The Company may reduce the number of outstanding shares either by an exchange of shares or by the repurchase and cancellation of its shares. If the reduction is attributable to losses, shares are cancelled through offsetting the Company’s losses. Any decrease must meet the requirements of French Company Law, which states, among other things, that all the holders of shares in each class of shares must be treated equally, unless the affected shareholders otherwise agree.

Form of shares

The Company has only one class of shares, par value €2.502.50 per share. Shares may be held in either bearer or registered form. Shares traded on Euronext Paris are cleared and settled through Euroclear France. The Company may use any lawful means to identify holders of shares, including a procedure known astitres au porteur identifiableaccording to which Euroclear France will, upon the Company’s request, disclose to the Company the name, nationality, address and number of shares held by each shareholder in bearer form. The information may only be requested by the Company and may not be communicated to third parties.


129


Holding of shares

Under French Company Law and since the “dematerialization” of securities, the ownership rights of shareholders are represented by book entries instead of share certificates (other than certificates representing French securities, which are outstanding exclusively outside the territory of France and are not held by French residents). Registered shares are entered into an account maintained by the Company or by a representative that it has nominated, while shares in bearer form must be held in an account maintained by an accredited financial intermediary on the shareholder’s behalf.

For all shares in registered form, the Company maintains a share account with Euroclear France which is administered by BNP Paribas Securities Services. In addition, the Company maintains accounts in the name of each registered shareholder either directly or, at a shareholder’s request, through a shareholder’s accredited intermediary,

in separate accounts maintained by BNP Paribas Securities Services on behalf of the Company. Each shareholder’s account shows the name and number of shares held and, in the case of shares registered through an accredited financial intermediary, the fact that they are so held. BNP Paribas Securities Services, as a matter of course, issues confirmations to each registered shareholder as to shares registered in a shareholder’s account, but these confirmations do not constitute documents of title.

Shares held in bearer form are held and registered on the shareholder’s behalf in an account maintained by an accredited financial intermediary and are credited to an account at Euroclear France maintained by the intermediary. Each accredited financial intermediary maintains a record of shares held through it and will issue certificates of inscription for the shares that it holds. Transfers of shares held in bearer form only may be made through accredited financial intermediaries and Euroclear France.

Cancellation of treasury shares

After receiving authorization through a shareholders’ meeting, the Board of Directors of the Company may cancel treasury shares owned by the Company in accordance with French Company Law up to a maximum of 10% of the share capital within any period of twenty-four months.

Description of TOTAL Share Certificatesshare certificates

The TOTAL share certificates are issued by Euroclear France. French law allows Euroclear France to create certificates representing French securities provided that these certificates are intended to be outstanding exclusively outside the territory of France and cannot be held by residents of France. Furthermore, TOTAL share certificates may not be held by a foreign resident in France, either personally or in the form of a bank deposit, but the coupons and rights may be exercised in France.

Certificates for TOTAL shares are either in bearer form or registered in a securities trading account. Under Euroclear France regulations applicable to bearer stock certificates, TOTAL share certificates cannot be categorized as secondary securities, such as ADSs, issued by a foreign company to represent TOTAL shares.

TOTAL share certificates have the characteristics of a bearer security, meaning they are:

negotiable outside France;

transmitted by delivery; and

 
• negotiable outside France;
• transmitted by delivery; and
• fungible with TOTAL share certificates, which may be converted freely from bearer form to registration in an account.

fungible with TOTAL share certificates, which may be converted freely from bearer form to registration in an account.

All rights attached to TOTAL shares must be exercised directly by the bearer of the TOTAL share certificates.

Authorized share capital not issued as of December 31, 2011

The following is a summary of the currently valid delegations and authorizations to increase share capital that have been granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting to the Board of Directors.

Seventeenth resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 21, 2010

Delegation of authority granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting to the Board of Directors to increase the share capital by issuing common shares or other securities granting immediate or future rights to the Company’s share capital, maintaining shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription rights up to a maximum nominal amount of2.5 billion,i.e., 1 billion shares (delegation of authority valid for twenty-six months).

Furthermore, the maximum nominal amount of the debt securities granting rights to the Company’s share capital that may be issued pursuant to the seventeenth resolution and the eighteenth resolution (mentioned below) may not exceed10 billion, or their exchange value, on the date of issuance.

Eighteenth resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 21, 2010

Delegation of authority granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting to the Board of Directors to increase the share capital by issuing common shares or other securities granting immediate or future rights to the Company’s share capital, canceling shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription rights, including the compensation comprised of securities as part of a public exchange offer, provided that they meet the requirements of Article L. 225-148 of the French Commercial Code. This resolution grants the Board of Directors the authority to grant a priority period for shareholders to subscribe to these securities pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-135 of the French Commercial Code. The total amount of the capital increases without pre-emptive subscription rights likely to occur immediately or in the future cannot exceed the nominal amount of850 million,i.e., 340 million shares, par value2.50 (delegation of authority valid for twenty-six months). The nominal amount of the capital increases is counted against the maximum aggregate nominal amount of2.5 billion authorized by the seventeenth resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 21, 2010.

 

Furthermore, the maximum nominal amount of the debt securities granting rights to the Company’s share capital that may be issued pursuant to the above mentioned seventeenth and eighteenth resolutions may not exceed10 billion, or their exchange value, on the date of issuance.

Nineteenth resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 21, 2010

Other IssuesDelegation of power granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting to the Board of Directors to increase the share capital by issuing new ordinary shares or other securities granting immediate or future rights to the Company’s share capital as compensation of in-kind contribution granted to the Company, by an amount not exceeding 10% of the share capital outstanding at the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting on May 21, 2010 (delegation of authority valid for twenty-six months). The nominal amount of the capital increases is counted against the maximum aggregate nominal amount of850 million authorized by the eighteenth resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 21, 2010.

Twentieth resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 21, 2010

Delegation of authority to the Board of Directors to complete capital increases reserved for employees participating in the Company Savings Plan (Plan d’épargne d’entreprise), up to a maximum amount equal to 1.5% of the outstanding share capital on the date of the decision of the Board of Directors to proceed with the issue (delegation of authority valid for twenty-six months). It is being specified that the amount of the capital increase is counted against the maximum aggregate nominal amount of2.5 billion authorized by the seventeenth resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 21, 2010.

Given that the Board of Directors made use of this delegation of authority on October 28, 2010, under which 8,902,717 new TOTAL shares were issued in 2011, the authorized share capital not issued with respect to capital increases reserved for employees participating in a Company Savings Plan was66,384,480 as of December 31, 2011, representing 26,553,792 shares.

As a result of the use of the delegation authorizing capital increases reserved for employees decided by the Board on October 28, 2010, and given that the Board of Directors did not make use of the delegations of authority granted by the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth resolutions of the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 21, 2010, the

authorized capital not issued was2.48 billion as of December 31, 2011, representing 991 million shares.

Eleventh resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 13, 2011

Pursuant to this authorization:

3,700,000 outstanding shares were awarded by the Board of Directors on September 14, 2011, including 16,000 outstanding shares awarded to the Chairman and Chief Executive.

As of December 31, 2011, 15,210,138 shares, including 220,376 to the Company’s corporate executive officers could, therefore, still be awarded pursuant to this authorization.

Twenty-first resolution of the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 21, 2010

Authority to grant stock options reserved for TOTAL employees and to executive and officers up to a maximum of 1.5% of the share capital outstanding on the date of the meeting of the Board of Directors that approves the stock option grant. In addition, the options granted to the Company’s corporate executive officers cannot exceed 0.1% of the outstanding share capital on the date of the meeting of the Board of Directors that approves the grants (authorization valid for thirty-eight months).

Pursuant to this authorization:

4,925,000 stock options were awarded by the Board of Directors at its meeting on September 14, 2010, including 240,000 stock options to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer;

1,600,000 stock options were awarded by the Board of Directors at its meeting on September 14, 2011, including 160,000 stock options to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

As of December 31, 2011, 28,931,509 stock options, including 1,963,767 to the Company’s corporate executive officers, could still be awarded pursuant to this authorization.

The Board did not make use of this delegation of authority during fiscal year 2011.

Based on 2,363,767,313 shares outstanding on December 31, 2011, the Company may, up until the conclusion of the Shareholders’ Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2011, cancel a maximum of 236,376,731 shares before reaching the cancellation threshold of 10% of share capital canceled during a twenty-four-month period.

The Company may convene other ordinary and extraordinary meetings at any time during the year.

Each shareholder may delegate voting authority to another shareholder, the shareholder’s spouse, or the companion with whom the shareholder has registered a civil partnership (PACS). Every shareholder may also delegate voting authority to any other individual or legal entity he or she may choose, provided, among other things, that a written proxy be provided to the Company. Shareholders may vote, either in person, by proxy, or by postal or electronic mail, and each is entitled to as many votes as he or she possesses or as many shares as he or she holds proxies for, subject to the voting rights limitations provided by the Company’s bylaws. If the shareholder is a legal entity, it may be represented by a legal representative. A shareholder may grant a proxy to the Company by returning a blank proxy form.

For these matters, no quorum is required at the reconvened meeting. If a quorum is not present at a reconvened meeting requiring a quorum, then the


132


meeting may be adjourned for a maximum of two months.

At an ordinary shareholders’ meeting, approval of any resolution requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the shareholders present or represented by proxy. The approval of any resolution at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting requires the affirmative vote of a two-thirds majority of the votes cast, except that (i) any resolution to approve a capital increase by capitalization of reserves profits, or share premium, or (ii) any resolution, in the situation where the Company is subject to a tender offer in order to approve an issuance of warrants allowing the subscription, at preferential conditions, of shares of the Company and the free allotment of such warrants to existing shareholders of the Company, the implementation of which would be likely to cause such tender offer to fail,

only requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast. Notwithstanding these rules, a unanimous vote is required to increase shareholders’ liabilities. Abstention from voting by those present or represented by proxy is counted as a vote against any resolution submitted to a vote.

As set forth in the Company’s bylaws, shareholders’ meetings are held at the Company’s registered office or at any other location specified in the written notice.

Requirements for temporary transfer of securities

French Company Law provides that any legal entity or individual (with the exception of those described inparagraph IV- 3°of Article L.233-7 of the French Commercial Code) holding alone or in concert a number of

Ownership of shares by non-French persons

Exchange Controls

Under current French exchange control regulations, no limits exist on the amount of payments that TOTAL may remit to residents of the United States. Laws and regulations concerning foreign exchange controls do require, however, that an accredited intermediary must handle all payments or transfer of funds made by a French resident to a non-resident.

Taxation

General

This section generally summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax and French tax consequences of owning and disposing of shares and ADSs of TOTAL to U.S. Holders that hold their shares or ADSs as capital assets for tax purposes. A U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of shares or ADSs that is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) a domestic corporation or other domestic entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iii) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

This section does not apply to members of special classes of holders subject to special rules, including:

dealers in securities;

• dealers in securities;
• traders in securities that elect to use amark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;
• tax-exempt organizations;
• life insurance companies;
• persons liable for alternative minimum tax;
• persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the share capital or voting rights in TOTAL;
• persons that hold the shares or ADSs as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction; or
• persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

tax-exempt organizations;

life insurance companies;

persons liable for alternative minimum tax;

persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the share capital or voting rights in TOTAL;

persons that purchase or sell shares or ADSs as part of a wash sale for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

persons that hold the shares or ADSs as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction; or

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

If a partnership holds ordinary shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Partners of a partnership holding these ordinary shares or ADSs should consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of owning or disposing of ordinary shares or ADSs, as applicable.

In addition, the discussion of the material French tax consequences is limited to U.S. Holders that (i) are residents of the United States for purposes of the Treaty (as defined below), (ii) do not maintain a permanent establishment or fixed base in France to which the shares or ADSs are attributable and through which the respective U.S. Holders carry on, or have carried on, a business (or, if the holder is an individual, performs or has performed independent personal services), and (iii) are otherwise eligible for the benefits of the Treaty in respect of income and gain from the shares or ADSs. In addition, this section is based in part upon the representations of the Depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the Deposit Agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations, published rulings and court decisions, and with respect to the description of the material French tax consequences, the laws of the Republic of France and French tax regulations, all as currently in effect, as well as on the Convention Between the United States and the Republic of France for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income and Capital dated August 31, 1994 as amended (the “Treaty”). These laws, regulations and the Treaty are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.


134


This discussion is intended only as a descriptive summary and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax effects of the ownership or disposition of the shares and ADSs and is not intended to substitute competent professional advice. Individual situations of holders of shares and ADSs may vary from the description made below. The following summary does not address the French tax treatment applicable to dividends transferred to so calledso-called “Non Cooperative Countries and Territories” within the meaning of the newSection 238-0 A of the French Tax Code.

Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state and local, and French and other tax consequences of owning and disposing shares or ADSs of TOTAL in their respective circumstances. In particular, a holder is encouraged to confirm with its advisor whether the holder is a U.S. Holder eligible for the benefits of the Treaty with its advisor.Treaty.

 

Taxation of Dividendsdividends

French taxestaxation

The term “dividends” used in the following discussion means dividends within the meaning of applicable income tax treaties, or, where not defined by such treaties, within the meaning of the French domestic tax law as set forth in administrative guidelines dated February 25, 2005(4 (4 J-1-05) (the “Administrative Guidelines”).

Dividends paid to non-residents of France are subject to French withholding tax at a rate of 25%30%. This withholding tax is reduced to 19%21% with respect to dividends received as from January 1, 2011,2012 by non-residents of France who are residents of certain States located within the European Economic Area.

However, the rate may be reduced pursuant to a tax treaty or similar agreement. Under the Treaty, a U.S. Holder is generally entitled to a reduced rate of French withholding tax of 15% with respect to dividends, provided the ownership of shares or ADSs is not effectively attributable to a permanent establishment or to a fixed base in France and certain other requirements are satisfied.

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors in order to determine the effect of the Treaty and the applicable procedures in respect of the Administrative Guidelines, in light of such particular circumstances.

The Administrative Guidelines set forth the conditions under which the reduced French withholding tax at the rate of 15% may be available. The immediate application of the reduced 15% rate is available to those U.S. Holders that may benefit from the so-called “simplified procedure” (within the meaning of the Administrative Guidelines).

Under the “simplified procedure”, U.S. Holders may claim the immediate application of withholding tax at the rate of 15% on the dividends to be received by them, provided that:

(i)they furnish to the U.S. financial institution managing their securities account a certificate of residence conforming with the model attached to the Administrative Guidelines. The immediate application of the 15% withholding tax will be available only if the certificate of residence is sent to the U.S. financial institution managing their securities account before the dividend payment date. Furthermore, each financial institution managing the U.S. Holders’ securities account must also send to the French paying agent the figure of the total amount of dividends to be received which are eligible to the reduced withholding tax rate before the dividend payment date;
(ii)the U.S. financial institution managing the U.S. Holder’s securities account provides to the French paying agent a list of the eligible U.S. Holders and other pieces of information set forth in the Administrative Guidelines. Furthermore, the financial institution managing the U.S. Holders’ securities account should certify that each U.S. Holder is, to the best of its knowledge, a United States resident within the meaning of the Treaty. These documents must be sent as soon as possible, in all cases before the end of the third month computed as from the end of the month of the dividend payment date.

Where the U.S. Holder’s identity and tax residence are known by the French paying agent, the latter may release such U.S. Holder from furnishing to (i) the financial institution managing its securities account, or (ii) as the case may be, the Internal Revenue Service, the abovementioned certificate of residence, and apply the 15% withholding tax rate to dividends it pays to such U.S. Holder.

U.S. Pension Funds and Other Tax-Exempt Entities created and operating in accordance with the provisions of Sections 401 (a)401(a), 403 (b)403(b), 457 or 501 (c) 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) are subject to the same general filing requirements except that, in addition, they have to supply a certificate issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any other document stating that they have been created and are operating in accordance with the provisions of the abovementionedabove-mentioned Code Sections. This certificate must be produced


135


together with the first request of application of the reduced rate, once together with the first request of immediate application of the 15% withholding tax and at French Tax AuthoritiesAuthorities’s specific request.

In the same way, regulated companies such as RIC, REIT or REMIC will have to send to the financial institution managing their securities account a certificate from the IRS indicating that they are classified as Regulated Companies (RIC, REIT or REMIC) within the provisions of the relevant sections of the IRC. In principle, this certification must be produced each year and before the dividend payment.

For a U.S. Holder that is not entitled to the “simplified” procedure and whose identity and tax residence are not known by the paying agent at the time of the payment, the 25%30% French withholding tax will be levied at the time the dividends are paid. Such U.S. Holder, however, may however, be entitled to a refund of the withholding tax in excess of the 15% rate under the “standard”, as opposed to the “simplified”, procedure, provided that the U.S. Holder furnishes to the French paying agent an application for refund onforms No. 5000-FRand/5000-FR and/or 5001-FR (or any

other relevant form to be issued by the French tax authorities), certified by the U.S. financial institution managing the U.S. Holder’s securities account (or, if not, by the competent U.S. tax authorities), before December 31 of the second year following the date of payment of the withholding tax at the 25%30% rate to the French tax authorities, according to the requirements provided by the Administrative Guidelines.

Copies offorms No. 5000-FR and 5001-FR (or any other relevant form to be issued by the French tax authorities) as well as the form of the certificate of residence and the U.S. financial institution certification, together with instructions, are available from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the FrenchCentre des Impôts des Non-Residentsat 10, rue du Centre, 93463 Noisy le Grand, France.

These forms, together with instructions, will also be provided by the Depositary to all U.S. Holders of ADRs registered with the Depositary. The Depositary will use reasonable efforts to follow the procedures established by the French tax authorities for U.S. Holders to benefit from the immediate application of the 15% French withholding tax rate or, as the case may be, to recover the excess 10%15% French withholding tax initially withheld and deducted in respect of dividends distributed to them by TOTAL. To effect such benefit or recovery, the Depositary shall advise such U.S. Holder to return the relevant forms to it, properly completed and executed. Upon receipt of the relevant forms properly completed and executed by such U.S. Holder, the Depositary shall cause them to be filed with the appropriate French tax authorities, and upon receipt of any resulting remittance, the Depositary shall distribute to the U.S. Holder entitled thereto, as soon as practicable, the proceeds thereof in U.S. dollars.

The identity and address of the French paying agent are available from TOTAL.

U.S. taxation

For U.S. federal income tax purposes and subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, the gross amount of any dividend a U.S. Holder must include in gross income equals the amount paid by TOTAL to the extent of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of TOTAL (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). The dividend will be income from foreign sources. Dividends paid to a noncorporatenon-corporate U.S. Holder in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013, that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable to the holder at a maximum tax rate

of 15%, provided that the shares or ADSs are held for more than 60sixty days during the121-day period beginning 60sixty days before the ex-dividend date and the holder meets other holding period requirements. TOTAL believes that dividends paid by TOTAL with respect to its shares or ADSs will be qualified dividend income. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to a U.S. corporation under Section 243 of the Code. The dividend is taxable to the U.S. Holder when the holder, in the case of shares, or the Depositary, in the case of ADSs, receives the dividend, actually or constructively. To the extent that an amount received by a U.S. Holder exceeds the allocable share of TOTAL’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be applied first to reduce such holder’s tax basis in shares or ADSs owned by such holder and then, to the extent it exceeds the holder’s tax basis, it will constitute capital gain.

The amount of any dividend distribution includible in the income of a U.S. Holder equals the U.S. dollar value of the euro payment made, determined at the spot euro/dollar exchange rate on the date the dividend distribution is includible in the U.S. Holder’s income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend payment is includible in the U.S. Holder’s income to the date the payment is converted into U.S. dollars will generally be treated as ordinary income or loss from sources within the United States and will not be eligible


136


for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income.

Subject to certain conditions and limitations, French taxes withheld in accordance with the Treaty will generally be eligible for credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. In addition, special rules apply in determining the foreign tax credit limitation with respect to dividends that are subject to the maximum 15% tax rate. To the extent a refund of the tax withheld is available to a U.S. Holder under French law or under the Treaty, the amount of tax withheld that is refundable will not be eligible for credit against such an individual’s United States federal income tax liability.

For this purpose, dividends distributed by TOTAL will constitute “passive income”, or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, “general income”, which are treated separately from one another for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to the U.S. Holder. Alternatively, a U.S. Holder may claim all foreign taxes paid as an itemized deduction in lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit.

 

Taxation of Dispositiondisposition of Sharesshares

In general, a U.S. Holder who is eligible for the benefits of the Treaty will not be subject to French tax on any capital gain from the sale or exchange of the ADSs or redemption of the underlying shares unless those ADSs or shares form part of a business property of a permanent establishment or fixed base that the U.S. Holder has in France. Special rules may apply to individuals who are residents of more than one country.

A 3% registration dutytransfer tax assessed on the higher of the purchase price and the fair market value of the shares (subject to a maximum of €5,000 per transfer) applies to certain transfers of shares in French companies. Such transfer tax is equal to:

3% for the portion of the purchase price (or the fair market value, if higher) below200,000;

0.5% for the portion of the purchase price (or the fair market value, if higher) between200,000 and500 million;

0.25% for the portion of the purchase price (or the fair market value, if higher) above500 million.

The dutytransfer tax does not apply to transfers of shares in TOTAL, provided that the transfer is not evidenced by a written agreement, oragreement.

Recently enacted legislation applicable as from August 1, 2012, has introduced, under certain conditions, a financial transaction tax on the acquisition of shares of publicly traded companies registered in France having a market capitalization over1 billion. A list of the companies within the scope of the financial transaction tax will be published in a forthcoming decree. We expect that TOTAL will be included in this list. The financial transaction tax will be due at a rate of 0.1% on the value of the acquired shares. Transactions that are subject to the financial transaction tax are exempt from the above-mentioned transfer tax (which was also modified by the same legislation). U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of such written agreement is executed outside France.

reforms.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes and subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or disposition of shares or ADSs equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized on the sale or disposition and the holder’s tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in the shares or ADSs. The gain or loss generally will be U.S. source gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period of the shares or ADSs is more than one year at the time of the disposition. Long-term capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder is generally

taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitation.

Passive Foreign Investment Statusforeign investment status

TOTAL believes that the shares or ADSs will not be treated as stock of a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes, but this conclusion is a factual determination that is made annually and thus is subject to change. If TOTAL is treated as a PFIC, unless a U.S. Holder elects to be taxed annually on amark-to-market basis with respect to the shares or ADSs, gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the shares or ADSs would in general not be treated as capital gain. Instead, a U.S. Holder would be treated as if he or she had realized such gain and certain “excess distributions” ratably over the holding period for the shares or ADSs and would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to which the gain was allocated, in addition to which an interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year would apply. With certain exceptions, a U.S. Holder’s shares or ADSs will be treated as stock in a PFIC if TOTAL were a PFIC at any time during his or her holding period in the shares or ADSs. Dividends paid will not be eligible for the special tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income if TOTAL is treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder either in the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, but instead will be taxable at rates applicable to ordinary income.

French Estateestate and Gift Taxesgift taxes

In general, a transfer of ADSs or shares by gift or by reason of the death of a U.S. Holder that would otherwise be subject to French gift or inheritance tax, respectively, will not be subject to such French tax by reason of the Convention between the United States of America and the French Republic for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Estates, Inheritances and Gifts, dated November 24, 1978 as amended, unless the donor or the transferor is domiciled in France at the time of making the gift, or at the time of his death, or if the ADSs or shares were used in, or held for use in, the conduct of a business through a permanent establishment or a fixed base in France.

French Wealth Taxwealth tax

The French wealth tax does not apply to a U.S. Holder (i) that is not an individual, or (ii) in the case of individuals


137


who are eligible for the benefits of the Treaty and who own, alone or with related persons, directly or indirectly, TOTAL shares which give right to less than 25% of TOTAL’s earnings.

 

U.S. Statestate and Local Taxeslocal taxes

In addition to U.S. federal income tax, U.S. Holders of shares or ADSs may be subject to U.S. state and local taxes with respect to their shares or ADSs. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

Dividends and Paying Agents

After BNP Paribas Securities Services performs centralizing procedures, dividends are paid through the accounts of financial intermediaries participating in Euroclear France’s direct payment procedures. The Bank of New York Mellon acts as paying agent for dividends distributed to ADS holders.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Please refer to Note 31 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein for a qualitative and quantitative discussion of the Group’s exposure to market risks. Please also refer to Notes 29 and 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein for details of the different derivatives owned by the Group in these markets.

As part of its financing and cash management activities, the Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These instruments are principally interest rate and currency swaps. The Group may also use, on a less frequent basis, futures and options contracts. These operations and their accounting treatment are detailed in Note 1 paragraph M and Notes 20, 28 and 29 to the

Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.

The financial performance of TOTAL is sensitive to a number of factors, the most significant being oil and gas prices, generally expressed in dollars, and exchange rates, in particular that of the dollar versus the euro. Generally, a rise in the price of crude oil has a positive effect on earnings as a result of an increase in revenues from oil and gas production. Conversely, a decline in crude oil prices reduces revenues. The impact of changes in crude oil prices on Downstream and Chemicals operations depends upon the speed at which the prices of finished products adjust to reflect these changes. All of the Group’s activities are, to various degrees, sensitive to fluctuations in the dollar/euro exchange rate.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Group’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the design and operation of the Group’s disclosure controls and procedures, which are defined as those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, summarized and reported within specified time periods. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Group’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial

reporting. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, the effectiveness of an internal control system may change over time.

The Group’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the results of this evaluation, the Group’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

2011.

The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, was audited by KPMG S.A. and Ernst & Young Audit, independent registered public accounting firms, as stated in their report onpage F-2 of this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Group’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or that were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Group’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Summary of Significant Differences between French Corporate Governance Practices and the NYSE’s Corporate Governance Standards

Overview

Overview

The following paragraphs provide a brief, general summary of significant differences between the corporate governance standards followed by TOTAL under French law and guidelines, and those required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) for U.S. companies that have common stock listed on the NYSE.

The principal sources of corporate governance standards in France are the French Commercial Code (Code de Commerce), the French Financial and Monetary Code (Code monétaire et financier), both as amendedinter aliasince August 2003 by the French Financial Security Act (Loi de sécurité financière) and the various subsequent acts, from time to time, and the regulations and recommendations provided by the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité desmarchés financiers, AMF), as well as a number of general

recommendations and guidelines on corporate governance, most notably the Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies published in December 2008 (as amended in April 2010) by the principal French business confederations, theAssociation Française des Entreprises Privées(AFEP) and theMouvement des Entreprises de France(MEDEF) (the “AFEP-MEDEF Code”). The AFEP-MEDEF Code includes, among other things, recommendations relating to the role and operation of the board of directors (creation, composition and evaluation of the board of directors and the audit, compensation and nominating committees) and the independence criteria for board members. TheArticles L. 820-1et seq. of the French Financial Security ActCommercial Code prohibits statutory auditors from providing certain non-audit services and defines certain criteria for the independence of statutory auditors. In France, the independence of statutory auditors is also monitored by an independent body, the High Council for Statutory Auditors (Haut Conseil du commissariat aux comptes).

 

Composition of Board of Directors; Independence

The NYSE listing standards provide that the board of directors of a U.S. listed company must consist of a majority of independent directors and that certain committees must consist solely of independent directors. A director qualifies as independent only if the board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the company, either directly or indirectly. In addition, the listing standards enumerate a number of relationships that preclude independence.

French law does not contain any independence requirement for the members of the board of directors of a French company, unless the board establishes an audit committee, as described below. Under French law, the functions of board chairman and chief executive officer may be performed by the same person. The AFEP- MEDEF Code recommends, however, that (i) at least half of the members of the board of directors be independent in companies that have a dispersed ownership structure and no controlling shareholder, and (ii) at least a third of the members of the board of directors be independent in companies that have a controlling shareholder. The AFEP-MEDEF Code states that a director is independent when “he or she has no relationship of any nature with the company, its group or the management of either, that may compromise the exercise of his or her freedom of judgment.” The AFEP-MEDEF Code also enumerates specific criteria for determining independence, which are on the whole consistent with the goals of the NYSE’s rules although the specific tests under the two standards may vary on some points.

Based on the proposal of TOTAL’s Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors of TOTAL at its meeting on February 10, 2011,9, 2012, examined the independence of the Company’s directors as of December 31, 2010,2011, and considered that all of the directors of the Company are independent, with the exceptions of Mr. de Margerie, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since May 21, 2010, Mr. Desmarest, Chairman of the Board of Directors until May 21, 2010, and Mr. Clément, director representing employee shareholders.

Representation of women on corporate boards

The FrenchJournal Officielpublished a statutelaw No. 2011-103 dated January 27, 2011, relating to the representation of women on the boards of certain French companies, including French companies listed on Euronext-Paris.

Euronext Paris.

New rules provide for legally binding quotas to boost the percentage of women on boards of directors of French listed

companies, requiring that women represent: (i) at least 20% within threetwo years (following the first ordinary shareholders’ meeting held after January 1, 2014), and (ii) at least 40% within sixfive years (following the first ordinary shareholders’ meeting held after January 1, 2017). When the board of directors consists of less than nine members, the difference between the number of directors of each gender at the end of the six-yearfive-year period should not be higher than two. Any appointment of a director


143


made in violation of these rules shall be declared null and void and the payment of the directors’ compensation shall be suspended until the board composition complies with the law’s requirements.requirements (the management report shall also indicate the suspension of the directors’ compensation until the board composition complies with the law’s requirements). However, decisions of a board of directors that fails to comply with these quotas may not be declared null and void.

Board committees

Overview.The NYSE listing standards require that a U.S. listed company have an audit committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee and a compensation committee. Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified in the listing standards.

With the exception of an audit committee, as described below, French law requires neither the establishment of board committees nor the adoption of written charters.

The AFEP-MEDEF Code recommends, however, that the board of directors setsets up, in addition to an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee, indicating that the nominating and compensation committees may form only one committee. The AFEP-MEDEF Code also recommends that at least two-thirds of the audit committee members and a majority of the members of each of the compensation committee and the nominating committee be independent directors.

TOTAL has established an Audit Committee, a Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee, and considers all of the members of these committees to be independent with the exception of Mr. Desmarest, who is a member of the Compensation Committee and chairs the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee. For the membership of each committee, see “Item 6. Corporate Governance”. Each of these committees has a charter that defines the scope of its activity.

Audit committee. The NYSE listing standards contain detailed requirements for the audit committees of U.S. listed companies. Some, but not all, of these

requirements also apply tonon-U.S. listed companies, such as TOTAL.

French law requires the board of directors of companies listed in France to establish an audit committee (Article L. 823-19 of the French Commercial Code), at least one member of which must be an independent director and must be competent in finance or accounting.

Pursuant to French law and the AFEP-MEDEF Code, the audit committee is responsible for, among other things, examining the company’s risk exposure and material off-balance sheet commitments and the scope of consolidation, reviewing the financial statements and ensuring the relevance and consistency of accounting methods used in drawing up the consolidated and corporate accounts, examining the company’s risk exposure and material off-balance sheet commitments and the scope of consolidation, monitoring the process for the preparation of financial information, monitoring the efficiency of internal control procedures and risk management systems, managing the process of selecting statutory auditors, expressing an opinion on the amount of their fees and monitoring compliance with rules designed to ensure auditor independence, regularly interviewing statutory auditors without the executive management being present and calling upon outside experts if necessary.

Although the audit committee requirements under French law and recommendations under the AFEP-MEDEF Code are less detailed than those contained in the NYSE listing standards, the NYSE listing standards, French law and the AFEP-MEDEF Code share the goal of establishing a system for overseeing the company’s accounting that is independent from management and that ensures auditor independence. As a result, they address similar topics, and there is some overlap.

For the specific tasks performed by the Audit Committee of TOTAL that exceed those required by French law and those recommended by the AFEP-MEDEF Code, see “Item 6. Corporate Governance — Audit Committee”.

One structural difference between the legal status of the audit committee of a U.S. listed company and that of a French listed company concerns the degree of the committee’s involvement in managing the relationship between the company and the auditor. French law requires French companies that publish consolidated financial statements, such as TOTAL, to have two co-auditors. While the NYSE listing standards require that the audit committee of a U.S. listed company have direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the work of the auditor, French law provides that the election of the co-auditors is the sole responsibility of the shareholders’ meeting. In making its decision, the shareholders’ meeting may rely on proposals submitted to it by the board of

directors, the decision of the latter being taken upon consultation with the audit committee. The shareholders’ meeting elects the auditors for an audit period of six fiscal years. The auditors may only be dismissed by a court and only on grounds of professional negligence or incapacity to perform their mission.

Disclosure

Disclosure
The NYSE listing standards require U.S. listed companies to adopt, and post on their websites, a set of corporate governance guidelines. The guidelines must address, among other things: director qualification standards, director responsibilities, director access to management and independent advisers, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, management succession, and an annual performance evaluation of the board. In addition, the chief executive officer of a U.S. listed company must certify to the NYSE annually that he or she is not aware of any violations by the company of the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards.

French law requires neither the adoption of such guidelines nor the provision of such certification. The AFEP-MEDEF Code recommends, however, that the board of directors of a French listed company perform an annual review of its operation and that a formal evaluation, possibly with the assistance of an outside consultant, be undertaken every three years, which for TOTAL took place endin early 2012 without the assistance of 2009,an outside consultant, and that shareholders be informed each year in the annual report of the evaluations. In addition, the AFEP-MEDEF Code addresses deontology rules that the directors are expected to comply with.

Code of business conduct and ethics

The NYSE listing standards require each U.S. listed company to adopt, and post on its website, a code of business conduct and ethics for its directors, officers and employees. There is no similar requirement or recommendation under French law. However, under the SEC’s rules and regulations, all companies required to submit periodic reports to the SEC, including TOTAL, must disclose in their annual reports whether they have adopted a code of ethics for their principal executive officer and senior financial officers. In addition, they must file a copy of the code with the SEC, post the text of the code on their website or undertake to provide a copy upon request to any person without charge. There is significant, though not complete, overlap between the code of ethics required by the NYSE listing standards and the code of ethics for senior financial officers required by the SEC’s rules. For a discussion of the code of ethics adopted by TOTAL, see “Item 6. Corporate Governance” and “Item 16B. Code of Ethics”.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year ended December 31, 2010

2011

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TOTAL S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010.2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010,2011, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

As discussed in the Introduction of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its accounting policy regarding jointly controlled entities under standard IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures”.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria) and our report dated March 10, 20117, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

ON THE INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Year ended December 31, 2010

2011

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

We have audited TOTAL S.A. and subsidiaries’ (“the Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 20082009 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010,2011, and our report dated March 10, 20117, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

TOTAL

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On February 10, 2011,9, 2012, the Board of Directors established and authorized the publication of the Consolidated Financial Statements of TOTAL S.A. for the year ended December 31, 2010,2011, which will be submitted for approval to the shareholders’ meeting to be held on May 13, 2011.

11, 2012.

INTRODUCTION

The Consolidated Financial Statements of TOTAL S.A. and its subsidiaries (the Group) are presented in Euros and have been prepared on the basis of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union and IFRS as issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standard Board) as of December 31, 2010.

2011.

The accounting principles applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 20102011 were the same as those that were used as of December 31, 20092010 except for amendments and interpretations of IFRS which were mandatory for the periods beginning after January 1, 20102011 (and not early adopted). Their adoption has no material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2010.

Among these new standards or interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010, the revised versions of IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” and IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” should be noted. These revised standards introduce new provisions regarding the accounting for business combinations. Their application is prospective.
In addition, as of January 1, 2010, jointly-controlled entities are consolidated under the equity method, as provided for in the alternative method of IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures”. Until December 31, 2009, these entities were consolidated under the proportionate consolidation method. This change involves two entities and is not material (see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
2011.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of preparation of the financial statements and reported income and expenses for the period. The management reviews these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, by reference to past experience and various other factors considered as reasonable which form the basis for assessing the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates, if different assumptions or circumstances apply. These judgments and estimates relate principally to the application of the successful efforts method for the oil and gas accounting, the valuation of long-lived assets, the provisions for asset retirement obligations and environmental remediation, the pensions and post-retirements benefits and the income tax computation.

Furthermore, where the accounting treatment of a specific transaction is not addressed by any accounting standard or interpretation, the management applies its judgment to

define and apply accounting policies that will lead to relevant and reliable information, so that the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows;

reflect the substance of transactions;

• give a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows;
• reflect the substance of transactions;
• are neutral;
• are prepared on a prudent basis; and
• are complete in all material aspects.

are neutral;


are prepared on a prudent basis; and

1) ACCOUNTING POLICIES

are complete in all material aspects.

1)ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Pursuant to the accrual basis of accounting followed by the Group, the financial statements reflect the effects of transactions and other events when they occur. Assets and liabilities such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are usually measured at amortized cost. Financial assetsAssets and liabilities are usually measured at fair value.

value when required by the standards.

Accounting policies used by the Group are described below:

A)
A) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Subsidiaries that are directly controlled by the parent company or indirectly controlled by other consolidated subsidiaries are fully consolidated.

Investments in jointly-controlled entities are consolidated under the equity method. The Group accounts for jointly-controlled operations and jointly-controlled assets by recognising its share of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.


F-8


Investments in associates, in which the Group has significant influence, are accounted for by the equity method. Significant influence is presumed when the Group holds, directly or indirectly (e.g. through subsidiaries), 20% or more of the voting rights. Companies in which ownership interest is less than 20%, but over which the Company is deemed to exercise significant influence, are also accounted for by the equity method.

All significant intercompany balances, transactions and income are eliminated.

 

B)
B) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. This method implies the recognition of the acquired identifiable assets, assumed liabilities and any minority interestnon-controlling interests in the companies acquired by the Group at their fair value.

The acquirer shall recognize goodwill at the acquisition date, being the excess of:

The consideration transferred, the amount of non-controlling interests and, in business combinations achieved in stages, the fair value at the acquisition date of the investment previously held in the acquired company;

Over the fair value at the acquisition date of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities.

• The consideration transferred, the amount of minority interest and, in business combinations achieved in stages, the fair value at the acquisition date of the investment previously held in the acquired company
• Over the fair value at the acquisition date of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities.

If the consideration transferred is lower than the fair value of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities, an additional analysis is performed on the identification and valuation of the identifiable elements of the assets and liabilities. Any residual badwill is recorded as income.

In transactions with minoritynon-controlling interests, the difference between the price paid (received) and the book value of minoritynon-controlling interests acquired (sold) is recognized directly in equity.

The analysis of goodwillpurchase price allocation is finalized within one year from the acquisition date.

Non-monetary contributions by venturers to a jointly-controlled entity in exchange for an equity interest in the jointly-controlled entity are accounted for by applying guidance provided in SIC 13 “Jointly Controlled Entities — Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers”. A gain or loss on disposal of the previously held investment is recorded up to the share of the co-venturer in the jointly controlled entity.

C)
C) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared in the currency that most clearly reflects their business environment. This is referred to as their functional currency.

(i)
(i)  Monetary transactions

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate and the resulting exchange differences are recognized in “Other income” or “Other expenses”.the statement of income.

(ii)
(ii)  Translation of financial statements denominated in foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities of foreign entities are translated into euros on the basis of the exchange rates at the end of the period. The income and cash flow statements are translated using the average exchange rates for the period. Foreign exchange differences resulting from such translations are either recorded in shareholders’ equity under “Currency translation adjustments” (for the Group share) or under “Minority“Non-controlling interests” (for the minority share)share of non-controlling interests) as deemed appropriate.

D)
D) SALES AND REVENUES FROM SALES
Revenues from sales are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been passed to the buyer and when the amount is recoverable and can be reasonably measured.

Sales figures include excise taxes collected by the Group within the course of its oil distribution operations. Excise taxes are deducted from sales in order to obtain the “Revenues from sales” indicator.

(i)Sale of goods

Revenues from sales are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been passed to the buyer and when the amount is recoverable and can be reasonably measured.

Revenues from sales of crude oil, natural gas and coal are recorded upon transfer of title, according to the terms of the sales contracts.

Revenues from the production of crude oil and natural gas properties, in which the Group has an interest with other producers, are recognized based on actual volumes sold during the period. Any difference between volumes sold and entitlement volumes, based on the Group net working interest, is recognized as “Crude oil and natural gas inventories” or “Accounts receivable, net”“Other current assets” or “Accounts payable”“Other creditors and accrued liabilities”, as appropriate.

Quantities delivered that represent production royalties and taxes, when paid in cash, are included in oil and gas sales, except for the United States and Canada.

Certain transactions within the trading activities (contracts involving quantities that are purchased to third parties then resold to third parties) are shown at their net value in sales.

Exchanges of crude oil and petroleum products within normal trading activities do not generate any income and therefore these flows are shown at their net value in both the statement of income and the balance sheet.

(ii)Sale of services

Revenues from services are recognized when the services have been rendered.

 

Revenues from gas transport are recognized when services are rendered. These revenues are based on the quantities transported and measured according to procedures defined in each service contract.

Revenues from sales of electricity are recorded upon transfer of ownership, according to the terms of the related contracts.
Revenues from services are recognized when the services have been rendered.


F-9


Shipping revenues and expenses from time-charter activities are recognized on a pro rata basis over a period that commences upon the unloading of the previous voyage and terminates upon the unloading of the current voyage. Shipping revenue recognition starts only when a charter has been agreed to by both the Group and the customer.
Oil and gas sales are inclusive of quantities delivered that represent production royalties and taxes, when paid in cash, and outside the United States and Canada.
Certain transactions within the trading activities (contracts involving quantities that are purchased to third parties then resold to third parties) are shown at their net value in sales.
Exchanges of crude oil and petroleum products within normal trading activities do not generate any income and therefore these flows are shown at their net value in both the statement of income and the balance sheet.

E)
E) SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The Group may grant employees stock options, create employee share purchase plans and offer its employees the opportunity to subscribe to reserved capital increases. These employee benefits are recognized as expenses with a corresponding credit to shareholders’ equity.

The expense is equal to the fair value of the instruments granted. The fair value of the options is calculated using the Black-Scholes model at the grant date. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis between the grant date and vesting date.

For restricted share plans, the expense is calculated using the market price at the grant date after deducting the expected distribution rate during the vesting period.

The cost of employee-reserved capital increases is immediately expensed. A discount reduces the expense in order to account for the nontransferability of the shares awarded to the employees over a period of five years.

F)
F) INCOME TAXES

Income taxes disclosed in the statement of income include the current tax expenses and the deferred tax expenses.

The Group uses the liability method whereby deferred income taxes are recorded based on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recorded in the balance sheet and their tax bases, and on carry-forwards of unused tax losses and tax credits.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. The tax rates used depend on the timing of reversals of temporary differences, tax losses and other tax credits. The effect of a change in tax rate is recognized either in the Consolidated Statement of Income or in shareholders’ equity depending on the item it relates to.

Deferred tax assets are recognized when future recovery is probable.

Asset retirement obligations and finance leases give rise to the recognition of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes as described in paragraph K “Leases” and paragraph Q “Asset retirement obligations” of this Note. Deferred income taxes resulting from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of such assets and liabilities are recognized.

Deferred tax liabilities resulting from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of equity-method investments and their tax bases are recognized. The deferred tax calculation is based on the expected future tax effect (dividend distribution rate or tax rate on the gain or loss upon disposal of these investments).

G)
G) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (Group share) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding TOTAL shares held by TOTAL S.A. (Treasury shares) and TOTAL shares held by the Group subsidiaries which are deducted from consolidated shareholders’ equity.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (Group share) by the fully-diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Treasury shares held by the parent company, TOTAL S.A., and TOTAL shares held by the Group subsidiaries are deducted from consolidated shareholders’ equity. These shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of this calculation which also takes into account the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted share grants and capital increases with a subscription period closing after the end of the fiscal year.

The weighted-average number of fully-diluted shares is calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method provided for by IAS 33. The proceeds, which would be recovered in the event of an exercise of rights related to dilutive instruments, are presumed to be a share buyback at the average market price over the period. The number of shares thereby obtained leads to a reduction in the total number of shares that would result from the exercise of rights.


F-10


H) OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCING PROPERTIES AND MINING ACTIVITY

The Group applies IFRS 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources”. Oil and gas exploration and production properties and assets are accounted for in accordance with the successful efforts method.

 

(i)
(i)  Exploration costs

Geological and geophysical costs, including seismic surveys for exploration purposes are expensed as incurred.

Mineral interests are capitalized as intangible assets when acquired. These acquired interests are tested for impairment on a regular basis,property-by-property, based on the results of the exploratory activity and the management’s evaluation.

In the event of a discovery, the unproved mineral interests are transferred to proved mineral interests at their net book value as soon as proved reserves are booked.

Exploratory wells are tested for impairment on awell-by-well basis and accounted for as follows:

Costs of exploratory wells which result in proved reserves are capitalized and then depreciated using the unit-of-production method based on proved developed reserves;

Costs of dry exploratory wells and wells that have not found proved reserves are charged to expense;

• Costs of exploratory wells which result in proved reserves are capitalized and then depreciated using theunit-of-production method based on proved developed reserves;
• Costs of dry exploratory wells and wells that have not found proved reserves are charged to expense;
• Costs of exploratory wells are temporarily capitalized until a determination is made as to whether the well has found proved reserves if both of the following conditions are met:
• The well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well, if appropriate, assuming that the required capital expenditures are made;
• The Group is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. This progress is evaluated on the basis of indicators such as whether additional exploratory works are under way or firmly planned (wells, seismic or significant studies), whether costs are being incurred for development studies and whether the Group is waiting for governmental or other third-party authorization of a proposed project, or availability of capacity on an existing transport or processing facility.

Costs of exploratory wells are temporarily capitalized until a determination is made as to whether the well has found proved reserves if both of the following conditions are met:

The well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well, if appropriate, assuming that the required capital expenditures are made;

The Group is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. This progress is evaluated on the basis of indicators such as whether additional exploratory works are under way or firmly planned (wells, seismic or significant studies), whether costs are being incurred for development studies and whether the Group is waiting for governmental or other third-party authorization of a proposed project, or availability of capacity on an existing transport or processing facility.

Costs of exploratory wells not meeting these conditions are charged to expense.

(ii)
(ii)  Oil and Gas producing assets

Development costs incurred for the drilling of development wells and for the construction of production facilities are capitalized, together with borrowing costs incurred during

the period of construction and the present value of estimated future costs of asset retirement obligations. The depletion rate is usually equal to the ratio of oil and gas production for the period to proved developed reserves(unit-of-production (unit-of-production method).

With respect to production sharing contracts, this computation is based on the portion of production and reserves assigned to the Group taking into account estimates based on the contractual clauses regarding the reimbursement of exploration, development and production costs (cost oil) as well as the sharing of hydrocarbon rights (profit oil).

Transportation assets are depreciated using theunit-of-production method based on throughput or by using the straight-line method whichever best reflects the economic life of the asset.

Proved mineral interests are depreciated using theunit-of-production method based on proved reserves.

(iii)
(iii)  Mining activity

Before an assessment can be made on the existence of resources, exploration costs, including studies and core drilling campaigns as a whole, are expensed.

When the assessment concludes that resources exist, the costs engaged subsequently to this assessment are capitalized temporarily while waiting for the field final development decision, if a positive decision is highly probable. Otherwise, these costs are expensed.

Once the development decision is taken, the predevelopment costs capitalized temporarily are integrated with the cost of development and depreciated from the start of production at the same pace than development assets.

Mining development costs include the initial stripping costs and all costs incurred to access resources, and particularly the costs of:

Surface infrastructures;

Machinery and mobile equipment which are significantly costly;

• Surface infrastructures;
• Machinery and mobile equipment which are significantly costly;
• Utilities and off-sites.

Utilities and off-sites.

These costs are capitalized and depreciated either on a straight line basis or depleted using the UOP method from the start of production.


F-11


I) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS EXCLUDING MINERAL INTERESTS

Other intangible assets include goodwill, patents, trademarks, and lease rights.

 

Intangible assets are carried at cost, after deducting any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Guidance for calculating goodwill is presented in Note 1 paragraph B to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or as soon as there is any indication of impairment (see Note 1 paragraph L to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

In equity affiliates, goodwill is included in the investment book value.

Other intangible assets (except goodwill) have a finite useful life and are amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 to 20 years depending on the useful life of the assets.

Research and development

Research costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Development expenses are capitalized when the following can be demonstrated:

the technical feasibility of the project and the availability of the adequate resources for the completion of the intangible asset;

the ability of the asset to generate probable future economic benefits;

• the technical feasibility of the project and the availability of the adequate resources for the completion of the intangible asset;
• the ability of the asset to generate probable future economic benefits;
• the ability to measure reliably the expenditures attributable to the asset; and
• the feasibility and intention of the Group to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

the ability to measure reliably the expenditures attributable to the asset; and

the feasibility and intention of the Group to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred.

J) OTHER PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

J)OTHER PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Other property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, after deducting any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. This cost includes borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or production of a qualifying asset incurred until assets are placed in service. Borrowing costs are capitalized as follows:

if the project benefits from a specific funding, the capitalization of borrowing costs is based on the borrowing rate;

if the project is financed by all the Group’s debt, the capitalization of borrowing costs is based on the weighted average borrowing cost for the period.

• if the project benefits from a specific funding, the capitalization of borrowing costs is based on the borrowing rate;
• if the project is financed by all the Group’s debt, the capitalization of borrowing costs is based on the weighted average borrowing cost for the period.

Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of major turnarounds of refineries

and large petrochemical units are capitalized as incurred and depreciated over the period of time between two consecutive major turnarounds.

Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives, which are as follows:

Furniture, office equipment, machinery and tools

   3-12 years

Transportation equipments

   5-20 years

Storage tanks and related equipment

 10-15 years

Specialized complex installations and pipelines

 10-30 years

    Buildings

  Buildings 10-50 years

K)
K) LEASESLEASES

A finance lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership from the lessor to the lessee. These contracts are capitalized as assets at fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments according to the contract. A corresponding financial debt is recognized as a financial liability. These assets are depreciated over the corresponding useful life used by the Group.

Leases that are not finance leases as defined above are recorded as operating leases.

Certain arrangements do not take the legal form of a lease but convey the right to use an asset or a group of assets in return for fixed payments. Such arrangements are accounted for as leases and are analyzed to determine whether they should be classified as operating leases or as finance leases.

L)
L) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The recoverable amounts of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment as soon as any indication of impairment exists. This test is performed at least annually for goodwill.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value (less costs to sell) or its value in use.

Assets are grouped into cash-generating units (or CGUs) and tested. A cash-generating unit is a homogeneous group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other groups of assets.

The value in use of a CGU is determined by reference to the discounted expected future cash flows, based upon the management’s expectation of future economic and operating conditions. IfWhen this value is less than the carrying


F-12


amount of the CGU, an impairment loss on property, plant and equipment and mineral interests, or on other intangible assets,is

recorded. It is recognized eitherallocated first to goodwill in counterpart of “Other expenses”. These impairment losses are then allocated to “Depreciation, depletion and amortization of tangible assets and mineral interests” for property, plant and equipmentmineral interests and mineral interests” or into “Other expense”, respectively. This impairment loss is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill.

expenses” for other intangible assets.

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods can be reversed up to the original carrying amount, had the impairment loss not been recognized. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill cannot be reversed.

M)
M) FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Financial assets and liabilities are financial loans and receivables, investments in non-consolidated companies, publicly traded equity securities, derivatives instruments and current and non-current financial liabilities.

The accounting treatment of these financial assets and liabilities is as follows:

(i)
(i)  Loans and Receivablesreceivables

Financial loans and receivables are recognized at amortized cost. They are tested for impairment, by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to estimates of the discounted future recoverable cash flows. These tests are conducted as soon as there is any evidence that their fair value is less than their carrying amount, and at least annually. Any impairment loss is recorded in the statement of income.

(ii)
(ii)  Other investments

These assets are classified as financial assets available for sale and therefore measured at their fair value. For listed securities, this fair value is equal to the market price. For unlisted securities, if the fair value is not reliably determinable, securities are recorded at their historical value. Changes in fair value are recorded in shareholders’ equity. If there is any evidence of a significant or long-lasting impairment loss, a loss is recorded in the Statement of Income. This impairment is reversed in the statement of income only when the securities are sold.

(iii)
(iii)  Derivative instruments

The Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to risks of changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recognized in the statement of income or in shareholders’ equity and are recognized in the balance sheet in the accounts corresponding to their nature, according to the risk management strategy described in Note 31 to the

Consolidated Financial Statements. The derivative instruments used by the Group are the following:

 

Cash management

Financial instruments used for cash management purposes are part of a hedging strategy of currency and interest rate risks within global limits set by the Group and are considered to be used for transactions (held for trading). Changes in fair value are systematically recorded in the statement of income. The balance sheet value of those instruments is included in “Current financial assets” or “Other current financial liabilities”.

 

Long-term financing

When an external long-term financing is set up, specifically to finance subsidiaries, and when this financing involves currency and interest rate derivatives, these instruments are qualified as:

 i.Fair value hedge of the interest rate risk on the external debt and of the currency risk of the loans to subsidiaries. Changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized in the statement of income as are changes in fair value of underlying financial debts and loans to subsidiaries.

The fair value of those hedging instruments of long-term financing is included in the assets under “Hedging instruments on non-current financial debt” or in the liabilities under “Non-current financial debt “for the non-current portion. The current portion (less than one year) is accounted for in “Current financial assets” or “Other current financial liabilities”.

In case of the anticipated termination of derivative instruments accounted for as fair value hedges, the amount paid or received is recognized in the statement of income and:

If this termination is due to an early cancellation of the hedged items, the adjustment previously recorded as revaluation of those hedged items is also recognized in the statement of income;

If the hedged items remain in the balance sheet, the adjustment previously recorded as a revaluation of those hedged items is spread over the remaining life of those items.

ii.

Cash flow hedge of the currency risk of the external debt. Changes in fair value are recorded in equity for the effective portion of the hedging and in the statement of income for the ineffective portion of the hedging. Amounts recorded in

 

equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss.

The fair value of those hedging instruments of long-term financing is included in the assets under “Hedging instruments on non-current financial debt” or in the liabilities under “Non-current financial debt” for the non-current portion. The current portion (less than one year) is accounted for in “Current financial assets” or “Other current financial liabilities”.

In case of the anticipated termination of derivative instruments accounted for as fair value hedges, the amount paid or received is recognized in the statement of income and:
• If this termination is due to an early cancellation of the hedged items, the adjustment previously recorded as revaluation of those hedged items is also recognized in the statement of income;
• If the hedged items remain in the balance sheet, the adjustment previously recorded as a revaluation of those hedged items is spread over the remaining life of those items.
ii. Cash flow hedge of the currency risk of the external debt. Changes in fair value are recorded in equity for the effective portion of the hedging and in the statement of income for the ineffective portion of


F-13


the hedging. Amounts recorded in equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss.
The fair value of those hedging instruments of long-term financing is included in the assets under “Hedging instruments on non-current financial debt” or in the liabilities under “Non-current financial debt” for the non-current portion. The current portion (less than one year) is accounted for in “Current financial assets” or “Other current financial liabilities”.
If the hedging instrument expires, is sold or terminated by anticipation, gains or losses previously recognized in equity remain in equity. Amounts are recycled in the income statement only when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss.

 

Foreign subsidiaries’ equity hedge

Certain financial instruments hedge against risks related to the equity of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the euro (mainly the dollar). These instruments qualify as “net investment hedges”. Changes in fair value are recorded in shareholders’ equity.

The fair value of these instruments is recorded under “Current financial assets” or “Other current financial liabilities”.

 

Financial instruments related to commodity
contracts

Financial instruments related to commodity contracts, including crude oil, petroleum products, gas, power and coal purchase/sales contracts within the trading activities, together with the commodity contract derivative instruments such as energy contracts and forward freight agreements, are used to adjust the Group’s exposure to price fluctuations within global trading limits. These instruments are considered, accordingAccording to the industry practice, these instruments are considered as held for trading.trading. Changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of income. The fair value of these instruments is recorded in “Other current assets” or “Other creditors and accrued liabilities” depending on whether they are assets or liabilities.

Detailed information about derivatives positions is disclosed in Notes 20, 28, 29, 30 and 31 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(iv)
(iv)  Current and non-current financial liabilities

Current and non-current financial liabilities (excluding derivatives) are recognized at amortized cost, except those

for which a hedge accounting can be applied as described in the previous paragraph.

Fair values are estimated for the majority of the Group’s financial instruments, with the exception of publicly traded equity securities and marketable securities for which the market price is used.

Estimated fair values, which are based on principles such as discounting future cash flows to present value, must be weighted by the fact that the value of a financial instrument at a given time may be influenced by the market environment (liquidity especially), and also the fact that subsequent changes in interest rates and exchange rates are not taken into account.

As a consequence, the use of different estimates, methodologies and assumptions could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The methods used are as follows:

 

Financial debts, swaps

The market value of swaps and of bonds that are hedged by those swaps has been determined on an individual basis by discounting future cash flows with the zero coupon interest rate curves existing at year-end.

 

Financial instruments related to commodity
contracts

The valuation methodology is to mark to market all open positions for both physical and derivativepaper transactions. The valuations are determined on a daily basis using observable market data based on organized and over the counter (OTC) markets. In particular cases when market data are not directly available, the valuations are derived from observable data such as arbitrages, freight or spreads and market corroboration. For valuation of risks which are the result of a calculation, such as options for example, commonly known models are used to compute the fair value.

 

Other financial instruments

The fair value of the interest rate swaps and of FRA (Forward Rate Agreement) are calculated by discounting future cash flows on the basis of zero coupon interest rate curves existing at year-end after adjustment for interest accrued but unpaid.

Forward exchange contracts and currency swaps are valued on the basis of a comparison of the negociated


F-14


 

forward rates with the rates in effect on the financial markets at year-end for similar maturities.

Exchange options are valued based on the Garman-Kohlhagen model including market quotations at year-end.

 

Fair value hierarchy

IFRS 7 “Financial instruments: disclosures”, amended in 2009, introduces a fair value hierarchy for financial instruments and proposes the following three-level classification:classification :

level 1: quotations for assets and liabilities (identical to the ones that are being valued) obtained at the valuation date on an active market to which the entity has access;

level 2: the entry data are observable data but do not correspond to quotations for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 1: quotations for assets and liabilities (identical to the ones that are being valued) obtained at the valuation date on an active market to which the entity has access;
• Level 2: the entry data are observable data but do not correspond to quotations for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 3: the entry data are not observable data. For example: these data come from extrapolation. This level applies when there is no market or observable data and the company has to use its own hypotheses to estimate the data that other market players would have used to determine the fair value of the asset.

level 3: the entry data are not observable data. For example: these data come from extrapolation. This level applies when there is no market or observable data and the company has to use its own hypotheses to estimate the data that other market players would have used to determine the fair value of the asset.

Fair value hierarchy is disclosed in Notes 29 and 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

N)
N) INVENTORIESINVENTORIES

Inventories are measured in the Consolidated Financial Statements at the lower of historical cost or market value. Costs for petroleum and petrochemical products are determined according to the FIFO(First-In, (First-In, First-Out) method and other inventories are measured using the weighted-average cost method.

Downstream (Refining — Marketing)

Petroleum product inventories are mainly comprised of crude oil and refined products. Refined products principally consist of gasoline, kerosene, diesel, fuel oil and heating oil produced by the Group’s refineries. The turnover of petroleum products does not exceed two months on average.

Crude oil costs include raw material and receiving costs. Refining costs principally include the crude oil costs, production costs (energy, labor, depreciation of producing assets) and allocation of production overhead (taxes, maintenance, insurance, etc.).Start-up costs and general administrative costs are excluded from the cost price of refined products.

Chemicals

Costs of chemical products inventories consist of raw material costs, direct labor costs and an allocation of production overhead.Start-up costs and general administrative costs are excluded from the cost of inventories of chemicals products.

O) TREASURY SHARES

O)TREASURY SHARES

Treasury shares of the parent company held by its subsidiaries or itself are deducted from consolidated shareholders’ equity. Gains or losses on sales of treasury shares are excluded from the determination of net income and are recognized in shareholders’ equity.

P)
P) PROVISIONS AND OTHER NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES

Provisions and non-current liabilities are comprised of liabilities for which the amount and the timing are uncertain. They arise from environmental risks, legal and tax risks, litigation and other risks.

A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required and when a reliable estimate can be made regarding the amount of the obligation. The amount of the liability corresponds to the best possible estimate.

Q)
Q) ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Asset retirement obligations, which result from a legal or constructive obligation, are recognized based on a reasonable estimate in the period in which the obligation arises.

The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over the useful life of this asset.

An entity is required to measure changes in the liability for an asset retirement obligation due to the passage of time (accretion) by applying a risk-free discount rate to the amount of the liability. The increase of the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as “Other financial expense”.

R)
R) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

In accordance with the laws and practices of each country, the Group participates in employee benefit plans offering retirement, death and disability, healthcare and special termination benefits. These plans provide benefits based on various factors such as length of service, salaries, and contributions made to the governmental bodies responsible for the payment of benefits.


F-15


 

These plans can be either defined contribution or defined benefit pension plans and may be entirely or partially funded with investments made in various non-Group instruments such as mutual funds, insurance contracts, and other instruments.

For defined contribution plans, expenses correspond to the contributions paid.

Defined benefit obligations are determined according to the Projected Unit Method. Actuarial gains and losses may arise from differences between actuarial valuation and projected commitments (depending on new calculations or assumptions) and between projected and actual return of plan assets.

The Group applies the corridor method to amortize its actuarial gains and losses. This method amortizes the net cumulative actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10% of the greater of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at the opening balance sheet date, over the average expected remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan.

In case of a change in or creation of a plan, the vested portion of the cost of past services is recorded immediately in the statement of income, and the unvested past service cost is amortized over the vesting period.

The net periodic pension cost is recognized under “Other operating expenses”.

S)
S) CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows prepared in foreign currencies has been translated into euros using the exchange rate on the transaction date or the average exchange rate for the period. Currency translation differences arising from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency into euros using the closing exchange rates are shown in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows under “Effect of exchange rates”. Therefore, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows will not agree with the figures derived from the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand and highly liquid short-term investments that are easily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risks of changes in value.

Investments with maturity greater than three months and less than twelve months are shown under “Current financial assets”.

Changes in current financial assets and liabilities are included in the financing activities section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Non-current financial debt

Changes in non-current financial debt are presented as the net variation to reflect significant changes mainly related to revolving credit agreements.

T)
T) CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSION RIGHTS

In the absence of a current IFRS standard or interpretation on accounting for emission rights of carbon dioxide, the following principles have beenare applied:

Emission rights are managed as a cost of production and as such are recognized in inventories:

Emission rights allocated for free are booked in inventories with a nil carrying amount,

Purchased emission rights are booked at acquisition cost,

Sales or annual restorations of emission rights consist of decreases in inventories recognized based on a weighted average cost,

If the carrying amount of inventories at closing date is higher than the market value, an impairment loss is recorded.

At each closing, a provision is recorded in order to materialize the obligation of emission rights restoration related to the emissions of the period. This provision is calculated based on estimated emissions of the period, valued at weighted average cost of the inventories at the end of the period. It is reversed when the emission rights are restored.

If emission rights to be delivered at the end of the compliance period are higher than emission rights (allocated and purchased) booked in inventories, the shortage is accounted for as a liability at market value.

Forward transactions are recognized at their fair market value in the balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of such forward transactions are recognized in the statement of income.

U)
 emission rights granted free of charge are accounted for at zero carrying amount;
• liabilities resulting from potential differences between available quotas and quotas to be delivered at the end of the compliance period are accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair market value;
• spot market transactions are recognized in income at cost; and
• forward transactions are recognized at their fair market value on the face of the balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of such forward transactions are recognized in income.
U) NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Pursuant to IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”, assets and liabilities of affiliates that are held for sale are presented separately on the face of the balance sheet.

 

Net income from discontinued operations is presented separately on the face of the statement of income. Therefore, the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements related to the statement of income only refer to continuing operations.

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group for which cash flows are independent. It represents a major line of business or geographical area of operations which has been disposed of or is currently being held for sale.

V)
V) ALTERNATIVE IFRS METHODS

For measuring and recognizing assets and liabilities, the following choices among alternative methods allowable under IFRS have been made:

• 

property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets are measured using historical cost model instead of revaluation model;


F-16

actuarial gains and losses on pension and other post-employment benefit obligations are recognized according to the corridor method (see Note 1 paragraph R to the Consolidated Financial Statements);

jointly-controlled entities are consolidated under the equity method, as provided for in the alternative method of IAS 31 “Interests in joint ventures”.

W) NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES NOT YET IN EFFECT


• actuarial gains and losses on pension and other post-employment benefit obligations are recognized according to the corridor method (see Note 1 paragraph R to the Consolidated Financial Statements);
• jointly-controlled entities are consolidated under the equity method, as provided for in the alternative method of IAS 31 “Interests in joint ventures”, as from January 1st, 2010.
W) NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES NOT YET IN EFFECT
The standards or interpretations published respectively by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) which were not yet in effect and not adopted by the European Union at December 31, 2010, were2011, are as follows:

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

In November 2009, the IASB issued standard IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” that introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, and included in October 2010 requirements regarding classification and measurement of financial liabilities. This standard shall be completed with texts on impairment and hedge accounting. Under standard IFRS 9, financial assets and liabilities are generally measured either at fair value through profit or loss or at amortised cost if certain conditions are met. The standard isshould be applicable for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2013.2015. The application of the standard as published in 2010 should not have any material effect on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet, statement of income and shareholder’s equity.

Revised

In May 2011, the IASB issued a package of standards on consolidation : standard IFRS 10 “Consolidated financial statements”, standard IFRS 11 “Joint arrangements”, standard IFRS 12 “Disclosure of interests in other entities”, revised standard IAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures”27 “Separate financial statements” and revised standard IAS 28 “Investments in associates and joint ventures”. These standards are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The impact of the application of these standards is currently assessed by the Group.

In November 2009,June 2011, the IASB issued revised standard IAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures” that clarifies19 “Employee benefits”, which leads in particular to the definitionfull recognition of the net position in respect of employee benefits obligations (liabilities net of assets) in the balance sheet, to the elimination of the corridor approach currently used by the Group and to the obligation to evaluate the expected return on plan assets on a related party and reducesnormative basis (via the disclosure requirements for entities controlled by a government. Thediscount rate used to value the debt). This standard is applicable for annual periods startingbeginning on or after January 1, 2011.2013. The impact of the application of this standard should not have any material impact on information presentedis currently assessed by the Group.

In addition, the IASB published in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

IFRIC 19 “Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments”
In November 2009, the IFRIC issued interpretation IFRIC 19 “Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments”. The interpretation deals with accounting for debt to equity swaps. It clarifies that equity instruments issued are measured at fairMay 2011 standard IFRS 13 “Fair value and that any difference with the carrying amount of the liability is recognised in profit or loss. The interpretation is effectivemeasurement”, applicable for annual periods startingbeginning on or after January 1, 2013, and in June 2011 revised standard IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements”, applicable for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010 (i.e. starting January 1, 2011 for the Group).2012. The application of IFRIC 19these standards should not have any material effect on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet, statement of income and shareholder’s equity.

2) MAIN INDICATORS — INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

2)MAIN INDICATORS — INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

Performance indicators excluding the adjustment items, such as adjusted operating income, adjusted net operating income, and adjusted net income are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial performance and the comparison of income between periods.

Adjustment items

The detail of these adjustment items is presented in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Adjustment items include :

(i)
(i) Special items

Due to their unusual nature or particular significance, certain transactions qualified as “special items” are excluded from the business segment figures. In general,

special items relate to transactions that are significant, infrequent or unusual. However, in certain instances, transactions such as restructuring costs or assets disposals, which are not considered to be representative of the normal course of business, may be qualified as special items although they may have occurred within prior years or are likely to occur again within the coming years.

(ii)
(ii) The inventory valuation effect

The adjusted results of the Downstream and Chemicals segments are presented according to the replacement cost method. This method is used to assess the segments’ performance and facilitate the comparability of the segments’ performance with those of its competitors.

In the replacement cost method, which approximates the LIFO(Last-In, (Last-In, First-Out) method, the variation of inventory values in the statement of income is, depending on the nature of the inventory, determined using either the month-end prices differential between one period and another or the average prices of the period rather than the historical value. The inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results according to the FIFO(First-In, (First-In, First-Out) and the replacement cost.


F-17


(iii)Effect of changes in fair value

As from January 1, 2011, the effect of changes in fair value presented as adjustment item reflects for some transactions differences between internal measure of performance used by TOTAL’s management and the accounting for these transactions under IFRS.

IFRS requires that trading inventories be recorded at their fair value using period end spot prices. In order to best reflect the management of economic exposure through derivative transactions, internal indicators used to measure performance include valuations of trading inventories based on forward prices.

Furthermore, TOTAL, in its trading activities, enters into storage contracts, which future effects are recorded at fair value in Group’s internal economic performance. IFRS precludes recognition of this fair value effect.

(iii) (iv)Until June 30, 2010, TOTAL’s equity share of adjustment items reconciling “Business net income” to Net income attributable to equity holders of Sanofi-AventisSanofi (see Note 3, paragraph on the sales of Sanofi-AventisSanofi shares and loss of significant influence over Sanofi-Aventis)Sanofi)

3) CHANGES IN THE GROUP STRUCTURE, MAIN ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS

During 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008,2009, main changes in the Group structure and main acquisitions and divestments were as follows:

2011

Upstream

TOTAL finalized in March 2011 the acquisition from Santos of an additional 7.5% interest in Australia’s GLNG project. This increases TOTAL’s overall stake in the project to 27.5%.

The acquisition cost amounts to202 million ($281 million) and mainly corresponds to the value of mineral interests that have been recognized as intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet for227 million.

In March 2011, Total E&P Canada Ltd., a TOTAL subsidiary, and Suncor Energy Inc. (Suncor) have finalized a strategic oil sands alliance encompassing the Suncor-operated Fort Hills mining project, the TOTAL-operated Joslyn mining project and the Suncor-operated Voyageur upgrader project. All three assets are located in the Athabasca region of the province of Alberta, in Canada.

TOTAL acquired 19.2% of Suncor’s interest in the Fort Hills project, increasing TOTAL’s overall interest in the project to 39.2%. Suncor, as operator, holds 40.8%. TOTAL also acquired a 49% stake in the Suncor-operated Voyageur upgrader project. For those two acquisitions, the Group paid1,937 million (CAD 2,666 million) mainly representing the value of intangible assets for474 million and the value of tangible assets for1,550 million.

Furthermore, TOTAL sold to Suncor 36.75% interest in the Joslyn project for612 million (CAD 842 million). The Group, as operator, retains a 38.25% interest in the project.

TOTAL finalized in April 2011 the sale of its 75.8% interest in its upstream Cameroonian affiliate Total E&P Cameroun to Perenco, for an amount of172 million ($247 million), net of cash sold.

TOTAL and the Russian company Novatek signed in March 2011 two Memorandums of Cooperation to develop the cooperation between TOTAL on one side, and Novatek and its main shareholders on the other side.

This cooperation is developed around the two following axes:

In April 2011, TOTAL took a 12.09% shareholding in Novatek for an amount of2,901 million ($4,108 million). In December 2011, TOTAL finalized the acquisition of an additional 2% interest in Novatek for an amount of596 million ($796 million), increasing TOTAL’s overall interest in Novatek to 14.09%. TOTAL considers that it has a significant influence especially through its representation on the Board of Directors of Novatek and its participation in the major Yamal LNG project. Therefore, the interest in Novatek has been accounted for by the equity method since the second quarter of 2011.

In October 2011, TOTAL finalized the acquisition of a 20% interest in the Yamal LNG project and has become Novatek’s partner in this project.

After the all-cash tender of $23.25 per share launched on April 28, 2011 and completed on June 21, 2011, TOTAL has acquired a 60% stake in SunPower Corp., a U.S. company listed on Nasdaq with headquarters in San Jose (California), one of the most established players in the American solar industry. Shares of SunPower Corp. continue to be traded on the Nasdaq.

The acquisition cost, whose cash payment occurred on June 21, 2011, amounts to974 million ($1,394 million). In accordance with revised IFRS 3, TOTAL is currently assessing the fair value of identifiable acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Based on available information, provisional fair value of net assets acquired at 100% amounts to $1,512 million.

Given the estimated fair value of instruments that are likely to confer rights to non-controlling interests, provisional goodwill amounts to $533 million. This goodwill must be allocated within twelve months from the acquisition date.

Since the acquisition date, sales and net income Group share (before impairment of goodwill) realized by SunPower amount respectively to $1,447 million and $(56) million. The goodwill arising from the acquisition of SunPower has been impaired in 2011 (see Note 4E to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Acquisition-related costs recognized in the statement of income for the period amount to9 million.

As part of the transaction, various agreements were signed, including a financial guarantee agreement through which TOTAL guarantees up to $1 billion SunPower’s repayments obligations under letters of credit that would be issued during the next five years for the development of solar power plants and large roofs activities. Furthermore, SunPower’s off-balance sheet commitments and contractual obligations are now included in TOTAL’s notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

TOTAL finalized in July 2011 the sale of 10% of its interest in the Colombian pipeline OCENSA. The Group still holds a 5.2% interest in this asset.

TOTAL finalized in September 2011 the acquisition of Esso Italiana’s interests respectively in the Gorgoglione concession (25% interest), which contains the Tempa Rossa field, and in two exploration licenses located in the same area (51.7% for each one). The acquisition increases TOTAL’s interest in the operated Tempa Rossa field to 75%.

TOTAL finalized in December 2011 the sale to Silex Gas Norway AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Allianz, of its entire stake in Gassled (6.4%) and related entities for an amount of477 million (NOK 3.7 billion).

Total E&P USA Inc. signed in December 2011 an agreement to enter into a Joint Venture with Chesapeake Exploration L.L.C., a subsidiary of Chesapeake Energy Corporation, and its partner EnerVest Ltd. Under the terms of this agreement, TOTAL acquired a 25% share in Chesapeake’s and EnerVest’s liquids-rich area of the Utica shale play. TOTAL paid to Chesapeake and EnerVest500 million ($696 million) in cash for the acquisition of these assets. TOTAL will also be committed to pay additional amounts up to $1.63 billion over a maximum period of 7 years in the form of a 60% carry of Chesapeake and EnerVest’s future capital expenditures on drilling and completion of wells within the Joint Venture. Furthermore, TOTAL will also acquire a 25% share in any new acreage which will be acquired by Chesapeake in the liquids-rich area of the Utica shale play.

Downstream

TOTAL and International Petroleum Investment Company (a company wholly-owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi) entered into an agreement on February 15, 2011 for the sale, to International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC), of the 48.83% equity interest held by TOTAL in the share capital of CEPSA, to be completed within the framework of a public tender

Total E&P Canada Ltd., a TOTAL subsidiary, signed in July 2010 an agreement with UTS Energy Corporation (UTS) to acquire UTS Corporation with its main asset, a 20% interest in the Fort Hills mining project in the Athabasca region of the Canadian province of Alberta.

Total E&P Canada completed on September 30, 2010 the acquisition of all UTS shares for a cash amount of 3.08 Canadian dollars per share. Taking into account the cash held by UTS and acquired by TOTAL (€(232 million), the cost of the acquisition for TOTAL amountsamounted to €862862 million.

The Elf Aquitaine shares targeted by the offer which were not tendered to the offer have been transferred to TOTAL S.A. under the squeeze out upon payment to the shareholders equal to the offer price on the first trading day after the offer closing date, i.e. on April 30, 2010.

 

On April 30, 2010, TOTAL S.A. announced that, following the squeeze out, it held 100% of Elf Aquitaine shares, with the transaction amounting to €450450 million.

In application of revised standard IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010, transactions with minoritynon-controlling interests are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. in consolidated shareholder’s equity.

As a consequence, following the squeeze out of the Elf Aquitaine shares by TOTAL S.A., the difference between the consideration paid and the book value of minoritynon-controlling interests acquired was recognized directly as a decrease in equity.

During 2010, TOTAL progressively sold 1.88% of Sanofi’s share capital, thus reducing its interest to 5.51%.

• During 2010, TOTAL progressively sold 1.88% of Sanofi-Aventis’ share capital, thus reducing its interest to 5.51%.

As from July 1, 2010, given its reduced representation on the Board of Directors and the decrease in the percentage of voting rights, TOTAL ceasesceased to have a significant influence over Sanofi-Aventis and no longer consolidatesconsolidated this investment under the equity method. The investment in Sanofi-AventisSanofi is accounted for as a financial asset available for sale in the line “Other investments” of the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value, i.e. at the stock price.

Net income as of December 31, 2010 includesincluded a €135135 million gain relating to this change in the accounting treatment.

D) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON IMPAIRMENTS

In the Upstream, Downstream and Chemicals segments, impairments of assets have been recognized for the year ended December 31, 2010,2011, with an impact of €1,416781 million in operating income and €1,2241,014 million in net income, Group share. These impairments have been disclosed as adjustments to operating income and adjustments to net income, Group share. These items are identified in paragraph 4C4D above as adjustment items with the heading “Asset impairment charges”.

The impairment losses impact certain Cash Generating Units (CGU) for which there were indications of impairment, due mainly to changes in the operating conditions or the economic environment of their specific businesses.

The principles applied are the following:

the recoverable amount of CGUs has been based on their value in use, as defined in Note 1 paragraph L to the Consolidated Financial Statements “Impairment of long-lived assets”;

future cash flows have been determined with the assumptions in the long-term plan of the Group. These assumptions (including future prices of products, supply and demand for products, future production volumes) represent the best estimate by management of the Group of all economic conditions during the remaining life of assets;

future cash flows, based on the long-term plan, are prepared over a period consistent with the life of the assets within the CGU. They are prepared post-tax and include specific risks attached to CGU assets. They are discounted using an 8% post-tax discount rate, this rate being a weighted-average capital cost estimated from historical market data. This rate has been applied consistently for the years ending in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

SunPower is a CGU acquired in 2011 for which specific assumptions were applied because of its own financing and its listing on Nasdaq. Thus, future cash flows of this CGU have been discounted using a 14% post-tax discount rate, corresponding to the weighted-average capital cost of this CGU.

value in use calculated by discounting the above post-tax cash flows using an 8% post-tax discount rate is not materially different from value in use calculated by discounting pre-tax cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate determined by an iterative computation from the post-tax value in use. These pre-tax discount rates are in a range from 10% to 13% in 2011. SunPower’s pre-tax discount rate is 16%.

• The recoverable amount of CGUs has been based on their value in use, as defined in Note 1 paragraph L to the Consolidated Financial Statements “Impairment of long-lived assets”;
• Future cash flows have been determined with the assumptions in the long-term plan of the Group. These assumptions (including future prices of products, supply and demand for products, future production volumes) represent the best estimate by management of the Group of all economic conditions during the remaining life of assets;
• Future cash flows, based on the long-term plan, are prepared over a period consistent with the life of the assets within the CGU. They are prepared post-tax and include specific risks attached to CGU assets. They are discounted using a 8% post-tax discount rate, this rate being a weighted-average capital cost estimated from historical market data. This rate has been applied consistently for the years ending in 2008, 2009 and 2010;
• Value in use calculated by discounting the above post-tax cash flows using a 8% post-tax discount rate is not materially different from value in use calculated by discounting pre-tax cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate determined by an iterative computation from the post-tax value in use. These pre-tax discount rates are in a range from 9% to 12% in 2010.

The CGUs of the Upstream segment affected by these impairments are oil fields, assets in solar energy and investments in associates accounted for by the equity method. For the year ended December 31, 2010,2011, the Group has recognized impairments with an impact of €20375 million in operating income and €297531 million in net income, Group share,share. A 10% decrease in hydrocarbons prices would not lead to additional impairment losses. In 2011, impairment losses accounted for mainly including aninclude the impairment of assets relatedthe whole goodwill arising from the acquisition of SunPower for383 million. Indeed, the stress on public debt markets of some European states during the second half of 2011, successive austerity plans adopted by these states and their impact on financial incentives specific to its projectthe solar industry have greatly worsened the financial situation and forecasts of future cash flows of the solar industry companies, including SunPower. The market capitalization of these companies fell sharply in 2011, thus the share price of SunPower as of December 31, 2011 stood at $6.23 per share, down 73% compared to build an upgrader in Edmonton, the Group giving up this project as part of its agreements with Suncor.

The CGUs of the Downstream segment are affiliates or groups of affiliates (or industrial assets) organized mostly by country for the refining activities and by relevant geographical area for the marketing activities. In 2010,For the economic environment of refining activities, remainedthe unfavorable trends observed in 2010 have continued in 2011, with a worldwide context of surplus in refining capacities compared to the demand for petroleum products. This surplus is more and morestill based in Europe wherewith a falling demand, whereas the demand has been decreasing whereas in emerging countries (in Middle(Middle East and Asia) report a strong growth in the consumption growth is strong. Considering the specificities of industrial tools,petroleum products. In this remainingpersistent context of deteriorated margins, had a particularly negative impact on the results of the refining CGUs in France and in the United Kingdom and lead to strong operationalhave suffered substantial operating losses despite the constant efforts made to improve operations. Moreover inThis situation, coupled with less favorable outlooks, led the last few months some operators have announced site closures or triedGroup to dispose of some sites although no material transaction has occurred in 2010. These factors have triggered off the recognition ofrecognize impairments of assets in Europe, especially within the CGUs Refining France and United Kingdom reducing thewith an impact of700 million in operating income by €1,192and478 million and thein net income, Group share by €913 million. Sensitivity analysis performed on other European refining CGUs, using different actualization ratesshare. A variation of +5% of projections of gross margin in identical operating conditions would have a positive impact of676 million in operating income and margins,443 million in net income, Group share. A variation of (1) % of the discount rate would have not led to additional impairment charge.a positive impact of335 million in operating income and219 million in net income, Group share. Inverse variations of projections of gross margin and discount rate would have impacts of respectively

(683) million and(249) million in operating income and(448) million and(164) million in net income, Group share.

The CGUs of the Chemicals segment are worldwide business units, including activities or products with common strategic, commercial and industrial characteristics.

The different scenarios of sensitivity would not lead to additional impairment losses.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, impairments of assets have been recognized in the Upstream, Downstream and Chemicals segments with an impact of1,416 million in operating income and1,224 million in net income, Group share. These impairments have been disclosed as adjustments to operating income and adjustments to net income, Group share.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, impairments of assets have been recognized in the Upstream, Downstream and Chemicals segments with an impact of €413413 million in operating income and €382382 million in net income, Group share. These impairments have been disclosed as adjustments to operating income for €391391 million and adjustments to net income, Group share for €333333 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, impairments of assets have been recognized in the Upstream, Downstream and Chemicals segments with an impact of €216 million in operating income and €244 million in net income, Group share. These impairments have been disclosed as adjustments to operating income for €177 million and adjustments to net income, Group share for €205 million.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, no reversal of impairment has been recognized. For the year ended December 31, 2008, reversals of impairment losses have been recognized in the Upstream segment with an impact of €41 million in operating income and €29 million in net income, Group share.

Since 1966, the Group hashad been taxed in accordance with the consolidated income tax treatment approved on a three-year renewable basis by the French Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry. The approval for the period 2008-2010 expired on December 31, 2010 and TOTAL S.A. announced in July 2011 that it took the decision not to proceed with its initial application for the renewal of this approvalagreement.

The exit of the consolidated income tax treatment has been requested forno significant impact, neither on the2011-2013 period.

No deferred tax is recognized for the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of investments in foreign subsidiaries which are considered to be permanent investments. Undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries considered to be reinvested indefinitely amounted to €26,45827,444 million as of December 31, 2010.2011. The determination of the tax effect relating to such reinvested income is not practicable.

In addition, no deferred tax is recognized on unremitted earnings (approximately €21,14722,585 million) of the Group’s French subsidiaries since the remittance of such earnings would be tax exempt for the subsidiaries in which the Company owns 95% or more of the outstanding shares.

(a)The Board of Directors approved on May 21, 2010 the implementation and conditions of a global free share plan intended for the Group employees.


F-46


Capital increase reserved for Group employees
Pursuant to the authorization granted by the shareholders’ meeting held on May 11, 2007, the Board of Directors, during its November 6, 2007 meeting, implemented a first capital increase reserved for employees within the limit of 12 million shares, at a price of €44.40 per share, with dividend rights as of January 1, 2007. The subscription period ran from March 10, 2008 to March 28, 2008. 4,870,386 shares were subscribed by employees pursuant to the capital increase.
At the shareholders’ meeting held on May 21, 2010, the shareholders delegated to the Board of Directors the authority to increase the share capital of the Company in one or more transactions and within a maximum period of 26 months from the date of the meeting, by an amount not exceeding 1.5% of the share capital outstanding on the date of the meeting of the Board of Directors at which a decision to proceed with an issuance is made reserving subscriptions for such issuance to the Group employees participating in a company savings plan. It is being specified that the amount of any such capital increase reserved for Group employees is counted against the aggregate maximum nominal amount of share capital increases authorized by the shareholders’ meeting held on May 21, 2010 for issuing new ordinary shares or other securities granting immediate or future access to the Company’s share capital with preferential subscription rights (€2.5 billion in nominal value).
Pursuant to this delegation of authorization, the Board of Directors, during its October 28, 2010 meeting, decided to proceed with a capital increase reserved for employees in 2011 within the limit of 12 million shares with dividend rights as of January 1, 2010 and delegated to the Chairman and CEO all powers to determine the opening and closing of the subscription period and the subscription price.
Share cancellation
Pursuant to the authorization granted by the shareholders’ meeting held on May 11, 2007 authorizing reduction of capital by cancellation of shares held by the Company within the limit of 10% of the outstanding capital every 24 months, the Board of Directors decided on July 30, 2009 to cancel 24,800,000 shares acquired in 2008 at an average price of €49.28 per share.
Treasury shares (TOTAL shares held by TOTAL S.A.)
As of December 31, 2010, TOTAL S.A. held 12,156,411 of its own shares, representing 0.52% of its share capital, detailed as follows:
• 6,012,460 shares allocated to TOTAL restricted shares plans for Group employees;
• 6,143,951 shares intended to be allocated to new TOTAL share purchase option plans or to new restricted shares plans.
These shares are deducted from the consolidated shareholders’ equity.
As of December 31, 2009, TOTAL S.A. held 15,075,922 of its own shares, representing 0.64% of its share capital, detailed as follows:
• 6,017,499 shares allocated to covering TOTAL share purchase option plans for Group employees and executive officers;
• 5,799,400 shares allocated to TOTAL restricted shares plans for Group employees; and
• 3,259,023 shares intended to be allocated to new TOTAL share purchase option plans or to new restricted shares plans.
These shares were deducted from the consolidated shareholders’ equity.
As of December 31, 2008, TOTAL S.A. held 42,750,827 of its own shares, representing 1.80% of its share capital, detailed as follows:
• 12,627,522 shares allocated to covering TOTAL share purchase option plans for Group employees;
• 5,323,305 shares allocated to TOTAL restricted shares plans for Group employees; and
• 24,800,000 shares purchased for cancellation between January and October 2008 pursuant to the authorization granted by the shareholders’ meetings held on May 11, 2007 and May 16, 2008. The Board of Directors on July 30, 2009 decided to cancel these 24,800,000 shares acquired at an average price of €49.28 per share.
These shares were deducted from the consolidated shareholders’ equity.
TOTAL shares held by Group subsidiaries
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, TOTAL S.A. held indirectly through its subsidiaries 100,331,268 of its own shares, representing 4.27% of its share capital as of December 31, 2010, 4.27% of its share capital as of

F-47


December 31, 2009 and 4.23% of its share capital as of December 31, 2008 detailed as follows:
• 2,023,672 shares held by a consolidated subsidiary, Total Nucléaire, 100% indirectly controlled by TOTAL S.A.; and
• 98,307,596 shares held by subsidiaries of Elf Aquitaine (Financière Valorgest, Sogapar and Fingestval).
These shares are deducted from the consolidated shareholders’ equity.
Dividend
TOTAL S.A. paid on June 1, 2010 the balance of the dividend of €1.14 per share for the 2009 fiscal year (the ex-dividend date was May 27, 2010). In addition, TOTAL S.A. paid on November 17, 2010 an interim dividend of €1.14 per share for the fiscal year 2010 (the ex-dividend date was November 12, 2010).
A resolution will be submitted at the shareholders’ meeting on May 13, 2011 to pay a dividend of €2.28 per share for the 2010 fiscal year, i.e. a balance of €1.14 per share to be distributed after deducting the interim dividend of €1.14 already paid.
Paid-in surplus
In accordance with French law, the paid-in surplus corresponds to share premiums of the parent company which can be capitalized or used to offset losses if the legal reserve has reached its minimum required level. The amount of the paid-in surplus may also be distributed subject to taxation unless the unrestricted reserves of the parent company are distributed prior to this item.
As of December 31, 2010, paid-in surplus amounted to €27,208 million (€27,171 million as of December 31, 2009 and €28,284 million as of December 31, 2008).
Reserves
Under French law, 5% of net income must be transferred to the legal reserve until the legal reserve reaches 10% of the nominal value of the share capital. This reserve cannot be distributed to the shareholders other than upon liquidation but can be used to offset losses.
If wholly distributed, the unrestricted reserves of the parent company would be taxed for an approximate amount of €514 million as of December 31, 2010 (€514 million as of December 31, 2009).

A. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Debt obligations
“Non-current debt obligations” are included in the items “Non-current financial debt” and “Hedging instruments of non-current financial debt” of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. It includes the non-current portion of swaps hedging bonds, and excludes non-current finance lease obligations of €175 million.
The current portion of non-current debt is included in the items “Current borrowings”, “Current financial assets” and “Other current financial liabilities” of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. It includes the current portion of swaps hedging bonds, and excludes the current portion of finance lease obligations of €23 million.
The information regarding contractual obligations linked to indebtedness is presented in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Lease contracts
The information regarding operating and finance leases is presented in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Asset retirement obligations
This item represents the discounted present value of Upstream asset retirement obligations, primarily asset removal costs at the completion date. The information regarding contractual obligations linked to asset retirement obligations is presented in Notes 1Q and 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Purchase obligations
Purchase obligations are obligations under contractual agreements to purchase goods or services, including capital projects. These obligations are enforceable and legally binding on the company and specify all significant terms, including the amount and the timing of the payments.
These obligations mainly include: hydrocarbon unconditional purchase contracts (except where an active, highly-liquid market exists and when the hydrocarbons are expected to be re-sold shortly after purchase), reservation of transport capacities in pipelines, unconditional exploration works and development works in the Upstream segment, and contracts for capital investment projects in the Downstream segment.

F-64


B. OTHER COMMITMENTS GIVEN
Guarantees given for excise taxes
They consist of guarantees given to other oil and gas companies in order to comply with French tax authorities’ requirements for oil and gas imports in France. A payment would be triggered by a failure of the guaranteed party with respect to the French tax authorities. The default of the guaranteed parties is however considered to be highly remote by the Group.
Guarantees given against borrowings
The Group guarantees bank debt and finance lease obligations of certain non-consolidated subsidiaries and equity affiliates. Maturity dates vary, and guarantees will terminate on paymentand/or cancellation of the obligation. A payment would be triggered by failure of the guaranteed party to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee, and no assets are held as collateral for these guarantees. As of December 31, 2010, the maturities of these guarantees are up to 2023.
Guarantees given against borrowings include the guarantee given in 2008 by TOTAL S.A. in connection with the financing of the Yemen LNG project for an amount of €1,335 million. In turn, certain partners involved in this project have given commitments that could, in the case of Total S.A.’s guarantees being called for the maximum amount, reduce the Group’s exposure by up to €427 million, recorded under “Other commitments received”.
In 2010, TOTAL S.A. provided guarantees in connection with the financing of the Jubail project (operated by SAUDI ARAMCO TOTAL Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP)) of up to €2,385 million, proportional to TOTAL’s share in the project (37.5%). In addition, TOTAL S.A. provided in 2010 a guarantee in favor of its partner in the Jubail project (Saudi Arabian Oil Company) with respect to Total Refining Saudi Arabia SAS’s obligations under the shareholders agreement with respect to SATORP. As of December 31, 2010, this guarantee is of up to €1,271 million and has been recorded under “Other operating commitments”.
Indemnities related to sales of businesses
In the ordinary course of business, the Group executes contracts involving standard indemnities in oil industry and indemnities specific to transactions such as sales of businesses. These indemnities might include claims against any of the following: environmental, tax and shareholder matters, intellectual property rights, governmental regulations and employment-related matters, dealer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. The Group regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnities.
The guarantees related to antitrust investigations granted as part of the agreement relating to the spin-off of Arkema are described in Note 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other guarantees given
Non-consolidated subsidiaries
The Group also guarantees the current liabilities of certain non-consolidated subsidiaries. Performance under these guarantees would be triggered by a financial default of the entity.
Operating agreements
As part of normal ongoing business operations and consistent with generally and accepted recognized industry practices, the Group enters into numerous agreements with other parties. These commitments are often entered into for commercial purposes, for regulatory purposes or for other operating agreements.

(a)The grant date is the date of the Board meeting awarding the share subscription options, except for the grant of October 9, 2008, decided by the Board on September 9, 2008.
(b)Exercise price in euro. The exercise prices of TOTAL subscription shares of the plans in force at that date were multiplied by 0.25 to take into account thefour-for-one stock split on May 18, 2006. Moreover, following the spin-off of Arkema, the exercise prices of TOTAL subscription shares of these plans were multiplied by an adjustment factor equal to 0.986147 effective as of May 24, 2006.
(c)The number of options awarded, outstanding, canceled or exercised before May 23, 2006 included, was multiplied by four to take into account thefour-for-one stock split approved by the shareholders’ meeting on May 12, 2006.
(d)Out of 92,472 options awarded under the 2008 Plan that were canceled, 88,532 options were canceled due to the performance condition. The acquisition rate applicable to the subscription options that were subject to the performance condition of the 2008 Plan was 60%.
Options are exercisable, subject to a continued employment condition, after a2-year period from the date of the Board meeting awarding the options and expire eight years after this date. The underlying shares may not be transferred during four years from the date of grant. For the 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Plans, the four-year transfer restriction period does not apply to employees of non-French subsidiaries as of the date of the grant, who may transfer the underlying shares after a two-year period from the date of the grant.
The continued employment condition states that the termination of the employment contract will result in the employee losing the right to exercise the options.
For the 2010 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that:
• For each grantee of up to 3,000 options, other than the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the options will be finally granted to their beneficiary.
• For each grantee of more than 3,000 options and less or equal to 50,000 options (other than the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer):
•  The first 3,000 options and two-thirds above the first 3,000 options will be finally granted to their beneficiary;
•  The outstanding options, that is one-third of the options above the first 3,000 options, will be finally granted provided that the performance condition described below is fulfilled.


F-67


• For each grantee of more than 50,000 options, other than the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer:
•  The first 3,000 options, two-thirds of the options above the first 3,000 options and below the first 50,000 options, and one-third of the options above the first 50,000 options, will be finally granted to their beneficiary;
•  The outstanding options, that is one-third of the options above the first 3,000 options and below the first 50,000 options and two-thirds of the options above the first 50,000 options, will be finally granted provided that the performance condition is fulfilled.
The performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average of the Return On Equity (ROE) of the Group. The average ROE is calculated by the Group based on TOTAL’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The acquisition rate:
• is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%;
• varies on straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is more than 7% and less than 18%; and
• is equal to 100% if the average ROE is more than or equal to 18%.
In addition, as part of the 2010 plan, the Board of Directors decided that the number of share subscription options finally awarded to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer will be subject to two performance conditions:
• For 50% of the share subscription options granted, the performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average ROE of the Group. The average ROE is calculated by the Group based on TOTAL’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is more than 7% and less than 18%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROE is more than or equal to 18%.
• For 50% of the share subscription options granted, the performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average of the Return On Average Capital Employed (ROACE) of the Group. The average ROACE is calculated by the Group based on TOTAL’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROACE is less than or equal to 6%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROACE is more than 6% and less than 15%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROACE is more than or equal to 15%.
For the 2009 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that for each beneficiary, other than the Chief Executive Officer, of more than 25,000 options, one third of the options granted in excess of this number will be finally granted subject to a performance condition. This condition states that the final number of options finally granted is based on the average ROE of the Group as published by TOTAL. The average ROE is calculated based on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. The acquisition rate:
• is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%;
• varies on straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is more than 7% and less than 18%; and
• is equal to 100% if the average ROE is more than or equal to 18%.
In addition, the Board of Directors decided that, for the Chief Executive Officer, the number of share subscription options finally granted will be subject to two performance conditions:
• For 50% of the share subscription options granted, the performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average ROE of the Group as published by TOTAL. The average ROE is calculated based on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is more than 7% and less than 18%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROE is more than or equal to 18%.
• For 50% of the share subscription options granted, the performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average ROACE of the Group as published by TOTAL. The average ROACE is calculated based on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROACE is less than or equal to 6%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROACE is more than 6% and less than 15%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROACE is more than or equal to 15%.


F-68


For the 2008 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that for each beneficiary of more than 25,000 options, one third of the options in excess of this number will be finally granted subject to a performance condition. This condition states that the number of subscription options finally granted is based on the ROE of the Group. The ROE is calculated based on the consolidated accounts published by TOTAL for the fiscal year preceding the final grant. The acquisition rate:
• is equal to zero if the ROE is less than or equal to 10%;
• varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 80% if the ROE is more than 10% and less than 18%;
• varies on a straight-line basis between 80% and 100% if the ROE is more than or equal to 18% and less than 30%; and
• is equal to 100% if the ROE is more than or equal to 30%.
Due to the application of the performance condition, the acquisition rate was 60% for the 2008 plan.
As a consequence, 88,532 options were canceled.

C. EXCHANGE GUARANTEE GRANTED TO THE HOLDERS OF ELF AQUITAINE SHARE SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS
Pursuant to the public exchange offer for Elf Aquitaine shares which was made in 1999, the Group made a commitment to guarantee the holders of Elf Aquitaine share subscription options, at the end of the period referred to in Article 163 bis C of the French Tax Code (CGI), and until the end of the period for the exercise of the options, the possibility to exchange their future Elf Aquitaine shares for TOTAL shares, on the basis of the exchange ratio of the offer (nineteen TOTAL shares for thirteen Elf Aquitaine shares).
In order to take into account the spin-off of S.D.A. (Société de Développement Arkema) by Elf Aquitaine, the spin-off of Arkema by TOTAL S.A. and thefour-for-one TOTAL stock split, the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A., in accordance with the terms of the share exchange undertaking, approved on March 14, 2006 to adjust the exchange ratio described above (see pages 24 and 25 of the “Prospectus for the purpose of listing Arkema shares on Euronext Paris in connection with the allocation of Arkema shares to TOTAL S.A. shareholders”). Following the approval by Elf Aquitaine shareholders’ meeting on May 10, 2006 of the spin-off of S.D.A. by Elf Aquitaine, the approval by TOTAL S.A. shareholders’ meeting on May 12, 2006 of the spin-off of Arkema by TOTAL S.A. and thefour-for-one TOTAL stock split, the exchange ratio was adjusted to six TOTAL shares for one Elf Aquitaine share on May 22, 2006.
This exchange guarantee expired on September 12, 2009, due to the expiry of the Elf Aquitaine share subscription option plan No. 2 of 1999. Subsequently, no Elf Aquitaine shares are covered by the exchange guarantee.

The restricted shares, which are bought back by the Company on the market, are finally granted to their beneficiaries after a2-year vesting period from the date of the grant. The final grant is subject to a continued employment condition and a performance condition. Moreover, the transfer of the restricted shares finally granted will not be permitted until the end of a2-year mandatory holding period from the date of the final grant.
The continued employment condition states that the termination of the employment contract during the vesting period will also terminate the grantee’s right to a restricted share grant.
For the 2010 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that, for each beneficiary of more than 100 shares, half of the shares in excess of this number will be finally granted subject to a performance condition. This condition is based on the average ROE calculated by the Group based on TOTAL’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The acquisition rate:
• is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%;
• varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is greater than 7% and less than 18%; and
• is equal to 100% if the average ROE is greater than or equal to 18%.
For the 2009 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that, for each beneficiary of more than 100 shares, half of the shares in excess of this number will be finally granted subject to a performance condition. This condition states that the number of shares finally granted is based on the average ROE as published by the Group and calculated based on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. The acquisition rate:
• is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%;
• varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is greater than 7% and less than 18%; and
• is equal to 100% if the average ROE is greater than or equal to 18%.
For the 2008 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that, for each beneficiary, the shares will be finally granted subject to a performance condition. This performance condition states that the number of restricted shares finally granted is based on the ROE of the Group. The ROE is calculated based on the consolidated accounts published by TOTAL for the fiscal year preceding the final grant. This acquisition rate:
• is equal to zero if the ROE is less than or equal to 10%;
• varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 80% if the ROE is greater than 10% and less than 18%;
• varies on a straight-line basis between 80% and 100% if the ROE is greater than or equal to 18% and less than 30%; and
• is equal to 100% if the ROE is greater than or equal to 30%.
Due to the application of the performance condition, the acquisition rate was 60% for the 2008 Plan.
As a consequence, entitlement rights to 1,094,914 shares were canceled.
E. GLOBAL FREE TOTAL SHARE PLAN
The Board of Directors approved at its meeting on May 21, 2010 the implementation and conditions of a global free share plan intended for the Group employees, that is more than 100,000 employees in 124 countries. On June 30, 2010, entitlement rights to 25 free shares were granted to every employee. The final grant is subject to a continued employment condition during the plan’s vesting period. The shares are not subject to any performance condition. 1,508,850 shares were awarded to employees from countries with a 2+2 scheme(2-year vesting period followed by2-year of mandatory holding period) and 1,070,650 shares were awarded to employees in countries with a 4+0 scheme(4-year vesting period and no mandatory holding period), representing a total of 2,579,500 shares. Following the vesting period, the shares awarded will be new shares.

Paid-in surplus

In accordance with French law, the paid-in surplus corresponds to share premiums of the parent company which can be capitalized or used to offset losses if the legal reserve has reached its minimum required level. The amount of the paid-in surplus may also be distributed subject to taxation unless the unrestricted reserves of the parent company are distributed prior to this item.

As of December 31, 2011, paid-in surplus amounted to27,655 million (27,208 million as of December 31, 2010 and27,171 million as of December 31, 2009).

Reserves

Under French law, 5% of net income must be transferred to the legal reserve until the legal reserve reaches 10% of the nominal value of the share capital. This reserve cannot be distributed to the shareholders other than upon liquidation but can be used to offset losses.

If wholly distributed, the unrestricted reserves of the parent company would be taxed for an approximate amount of539 million as of December 31, 2011 (514 million as of December 31, 2010 and as of December 31, 2009).

A.CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Debt obligations

“Non-current debt obligations” are included in the items “Non-current financial debt” and “Hedging instruments of non-current financial debt” of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. It includes the non-current portion of swaps hedging bonds, and excludes non-current finance lease obligations of152 million.

The current portion of non-current debt is included in the items “Current borrowings”, “Current financial assets” and “Other current financial liabilities” of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. It includes the current portion of swaps hedging bonds, and excludes the current portion of finance lease obligations of25 million.

The information regarding contractual obligations linked to indebtedness is presented in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Lease contracts

The information regarding operating and finance leases is presented in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Asset retirement obligations

This item represents the discounted present value of Upstream asset retirement obligations, primarily asset removal costs at the completion date. The information regarding contractual obligations linked to asset retirement obligations is presented in Notes 1Q and 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Purchase obligations

Purchase obligations are obligations under contractual agreements to purchase goods or services, including capital projects. These obligations are enforceable and legally binding on the company and specify all significant terms, including the amount and the timing of the payments.

These obligations mainly include: hydrocarbon unconditional purchase contracts (except where an active, highly-liquid market exists and when the hydrocarbons are expected to be re-sold shortly after purchase), reservation of transport capacities in pipelines, unconditional exploration works and development works in the Upstream segment, and contracts for capital investment projects in the Downstream segment.

B.OTHER COMMITMENTS GIVEN

Guarantees given for excise taxes

They consist of guarantees given to other oil and gas companies in order to comply with French tax authorities’ requirements for oil and gas imports in France. A payment would be triggered by a failure of the guaranteed party with respect to the French tax authorities. The default of the guaranteed parties is however considered to be highly remote by the Group.

Guarantees given against borrowings

The Group guarantees bank debt and finance lease obligations of certain non-consolidated subsidiaries and equity affiliates. Maturity dates vary, and guarantees will terminate on payment and/or cancellation of the obligation. A payment would be triggered by failure of the guaranteed party to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee, and no assets are held as collateral for these guarantees. As of December 31, 2011, the maturities of these guarantees are up to 2023.

Guarantees given against borrowings include the guarantee given in 2008 by TOTAL S.A. in connection with the financing of the Yemen LNG project for an amount of1,208 million. In turn, certain partners involved in this project have given commitments that could, in the case of Total S.A.’s guarantees being called for the maximum amount, reduce the Group’s exposure by up to404 million, recorded under “Other commitments received”.

In 2010, TOTAL S.A. provided guarantees in connection with the financing of the Jubail project (operated by SAUDI ARAMCO TOTAL Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP)) of up to2,463 million, proportional to TOTAL’s share in the project (37.5%). In addition, TOTAL S.A. provided in 2010 a guarantee in favor of its partner in the Jubail project (Saudi Arabian Oil Company) with respect to Total Refining Saudi Arabia SAS’s obligations under the shareholders agreement with respect to SATORP. As of December 31, 2011, this guarantee is of up to1,095 million and has been recorded under “Other operating commitments”.

Indemnities related to sales of businesses

In the ordinary course of business, the Group executes contracts involving standard indemnities in oil industry and indemnities specific to transactions such as sales of businesses. These indemnities might include claims against any of the following: environmental, tax and shareholder matters, intellectual property rights, governmental regulations and employment-related matters,

dealer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. The Group regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnities.

The guarantees related to antitrust investigations granted as part of the agreement relating to the spin-off of Arkema are described in Note 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other guarantees given

Non-consolidated subsidiaries

The Group also guarantees the current liabilities of certain non-consolidated subsidiaries. Performance under these guarantees would be triggered by a financial default of the entity.

Operating agreements

As part of normal ongoing business operations and consistent with generally and accepted recognized industry practices, the Group enters into numerous agreements with other parties. These commitments are often entered into for commercial purposes, for regulatory purposes or for other operating agreements.

C.COMMITMENTS RECEIVED

Goods and services sale obligations

These amounts represent binding obligations under contractual agreements to sell goods or services, including in particular hydrocarbon unconditional sale contracts (except when an active, highly-liquid market exists and volumes are re-sold shortly after purchase).

The underlying shares may not be transferred during four years from the date of grant. For the 2007 to 2011 Plans, the 4-year transfer restriction period does not apply to employees of non-French subsidiaries as of the date of the grant, who may transfer the underlying shares after a 2-year period from the date of the grant.

2011 Plan

For the 2011 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that for each grantee other than the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the options will be finally granted to their beneficiary provided that the performance condition is fulfilled.

The performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average of the Return On Equity (ROE) of the Group. The average ROE is calculated by the Group from the consolidated balance sheet and statement of income of the Group for fiscal years 2011 and 2012.

The acquisition rate:

is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%;

varies on straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is more than 7% and less than 18%; and

is equal to 100% if the average ROE is more than or equal to 18%.

In addition, as part of the 2011 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that the number of share subscription options finally awarded to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer will be subject to two performance conditions:

For 50% of the share subscription options granted, the performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average ROE of the Group. The average ROE is calculated by the Group from the consolidated balance sheet and statement of income of the Group for fiscal years 2011 and 2012. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is more than 7% and less than 18%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROE is more than or equal to 18%.

For 50% of the share subscription options granted, the performance condition states that the number of

options finally granted is based on the average of the Return On Average Capital Employed (ROACE) of the Group. The average ROACE is calculated by the Group from the consolidated balance sheet and statement of income of the Group for fiscal years 2011 and 2012. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROACE is less than or equal to 6%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROACE is more than 6% and less than 15%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROACE is more than or equal to 15%.

2010 Plan

For the 2010 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that:

For each grantee of up to 3,000 options, other than the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the options will be finally granted to their beneficiary.

For each grantee of more than 3,000 options and less or equal to 50,000 options (other than the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer):

The first 3,000 options and two-thirds above the first 3,000 options will be finally granted to their beneficiary;

The outstanding options, that is one-third of the options above the first 3,000 options, will be finally granted provided that the performance condition described below is fulfilled.

For each grantee of more than 50,000 options (other than the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer):

The first 3,000 options, two-thirds of the options above the first 3,000 options and below the first 50,000 options, and one-third of the options above the first 50,000 options, will be finally granted to their beneficiary;

The outstanding options, that is one-third of the options above the first 3,000 options and below the first 50,000 options and two-thirds of the options above the first 50,000 options, will be finally granted provided that the performance condition is fulfilled.

The performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average ROE of the Group. The average ROE is calculated by the Group based on TOTAL’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The acquisition rate:

is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%;

varies on straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is more than 7% and less than 18%; and

is equal to 100% if the average ROE is more than or equal to 18%.

In addition, as part of the 2010 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that the number of share subscription options finally awarded to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer will be subject to two performance conditions:

For 50% of the share subscription options granted, the performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average ROE of the Group. The average ROE is calculated by the Group based on TOTAL’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is more than 7% and less than 18%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROE is more than or equal to 18%.

For 50% of the share subscription options granted, the performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average ROACE of the Group. The average ROACE is calculated by the Group based on TOTAL’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROACE is less than or equal to 6%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROACE is more than 6% and less than 15%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROACE is more than or equal to 15%.

2009 Plan

For the 2009 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that for each beneficiary, other than the Chief Executive Officer, of more than 25,000 options, one third of the options granted in excess of this number will be finally granted subject to a performance condition. This condition states that the final number of options finally granted is based on the average

ROE of the Group as published by TOTAL. The average ROE is calculated based on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. The acquisition rate:

is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%;

varies on straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is more than 7% and less than 18%; and

is equal to 100% if the average ROE is more than or equal to 18%.

In addition, the Board of Directors decided that, for the Chief Executive Officer, the number of share subscription options finally granted will be subject to two performance conditions:

For 50% of the share subscription options granted, the performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average ROE of the Group as published by TOTAL. The average ROE is calculated based on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is more than 7% and less than 18%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROE is more than or equal to 18%.

For 50% of the share subscription options granted, the performance condition states that the number of options finally granted is based on the average ROACE of the Group as published by TOTAL. The average ROACE is calculated based on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROACE is less than or equal to 6%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROACE is more than 6% and less than 15%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROACE is more than or equal to 15%.

Due to the application of the performance condition, the acquisition rates were 100% for the 2009 Plan.

C.EXCHANGE GUARANTEE GRANTED TO THE HOLDERS OF ELF AQUITAINE SHARE SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS

Pursuant to the public exchange offer for Elf Aquitaine shares which was made in 1999, the Group made a commitment to guarantee the holders of Elf Aquitaine share subscription options, at the end of the period referred to in Article 163 bis C of the French Tax Code (CGI), and until the end of the period for the exercise of the options, the possibility to exchange their future Elf Aquitaine shares for TOTAL shares, on the basis of the exchange ratio of the offer (nineteen TOTAL shares for thirteen Elf Aquitaine shares).

In order to take into account the spin-off of S.D.A. (Société de Développement Arkema) by Elf Aquitaine, the spin-off of Arkema by TOTAL S.A. and the four-for-one TOTAL stock split, the Board of Directors of TOTAL S.A., in accordance

with the terms of the share exchange undertaking, approved on March 14, 2006 to adjust the exchange ratio described above (see pages 24 and 25 of the “Prospectus for the purpose of listing Arkema shares on Euronext Paris in connection with the allocation of Arkema shares to TOTAL S.A. shareholders”). Following the approval by Elf Aquitaine shareholders’ meeting on May 10, 2006 of the spin-off of S.D.A. by Elf Aquitaine, the approval by TOTAL S.A. shareholders’ meeting on May 12, 2006 of the spin-off of Arkema by TOTAL S.A. and the four-for-one TOTAL stock split, the exchange ratio was adjusted to six TOTAL shares for one Elf Aquitaine share on May 22, 2006.

This exchange guarantee expired on September 12, 2009, due to the expiry of the Elf Aquitaine share subscription option plan No. 2 of 1999. Subsequently, no Elf Aquitaine shares are covered by the exchange guarantee.

(a)The grant date is the date of the Board of Directors meeting that awarded the shares, except for the shares awarded by the Board of Directors at their meeting of September 9, 2008, and granted on October 9, 2008.
(b)Performance shares finally granted following the death of their beneficiaries.
(c)Including performance shares finally granted for which the entitlement right had been canceled erroneously.
(d)Out of the 1,113,462 canceled rights to the grant share under the 2008 Plan, 1,094,914 entitlement rights were canceled due to the performance condition. The acquisition rate for the 2008 Plan was 60%.
(e)The acquisition rate for the 2009 Plan was 100%.

The performance shares, which are bought back by the Company on the market, are finally granted to their beneficiaries after a 2-year vesting period from the date of the grant. The final grant is subject to a continued employment condition and a performance condition. Moreover, the transfer of the performance shares finally granted will not be permitted until the end of a 2-year mandatory holding period from the date of the final grant.

2011 Plan

For the 2011 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that, for each senior executive (other than the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), the shares will be finally granted subject to a performance condition. This condition is based on the average ROE as published by the Group and calculated based on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2011 and 2012. The acquisition rate:

is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%;

varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is greater than 7% and less than 18%; and

is equal to 100% if the average ROE is greater than or equal to 18%.

The Board of Directors decided also that, for each for each beneficiary (other than the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the senior executives) of more than 100 shares, the shares in excess of this number will be finally granted subject to the performance condition mentioned before.

In addition, as part of the 2011 plan, the Board of Directors decided that the number of performance share finally granted to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer will be subject to two performance conditions:

For 50% of the share granted, the performance condition states that the number of shares finally granted is based on the average ROE of the Group. The average ROE is calculated by the Group from the consolidated balance sheet and statement of income of the Group for fiscal years 2011 and 2012. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is more than 7% and less than 18%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROE is more than or equal to 18%.

For 50% of the share granted, the performance condition states that the number of shares finally

granted is based on the average ROACE of the Group. The average ROACE is calculated by the Group from the consolidated balance sheet and statement of income of the Group for fiscal years 2011 and 2012. The acquisition rate is equal to zero if the average ROACE is less than or equal to 6%; varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROACE is more than 6% and less than 15%; and is equal to 100% if the average ROACE is more than or equal to 15%.

2010 Plan

For the 2010 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that, for each beneficiary of more than 100 shares, half of the shares in excess of this number will be finally granted subject to a performance condition. This condition is based on the average ROE calculated by the Group based on TOTAL’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The acquisition rate:

is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%;

varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is greater than 7% and less than 18%; and

is equal to 100% if the average ROE is greater than or equal to 18%.

2009 Plan

For the 2009 Plan, the Board of Directors decided that, for each beneficiary of more than 100 shares, half of the shares in excess of this number will be finally granted subject to a performance condition. This condition states that the number of shares finally granted is based on the average ROE as published by the Group and calculated based on the Group’s consolidated balance sheet and statement of income for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. The acquisition rate:

is equal to zero if the average ROE is less than or equal to 7%;

varies on a straight-line basis between 0% and 100% if the average ROE is greater than 7% and less than 18%; and

is equal to 100% if the average ROE is greater than or equal to 18%.

Due to the application of the performance condition, the acquisition rate was 100% for the 2009 Plan.

E.GLOBAL FREE TOTAL SHARE PLAN

The Board of Directors approved at its meeting on May 21, 2010 the implementation and conditions of a global free share plan intended for the Group employees. On June 30, 2010, entitlement rights to 25 free shares were granted to every employee. The final grant is subject to a continued employment condition during the plan’s vesting period. The shares are not subject to any performance condition. Following the vesting period, the shares awarded will be new shares.

F.SUNPOWER PLANS

SunPower has three stock incentive plans: the 1996 Stock Plan (“1996 Plan”), the Second Amended and Restated 2005 SunPower Corporation Stock Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”) and the PowerLight Corporation Common Stock Option and Common Stock Purchase Plan (“PowerLight Plan”). The PowerLight Plan was assumed by SunPower by way of the acquisition of PowerLight in fiscal 2007. Under the terms of all three plans, SunPower may issue incentive or non-statutory stock options or stock purchase rights to directors, employees and consultants to purchase common stock. The 2005 Plan was adopted by SunPower’s Board of Directors in August 2005, and was approved by shareholders in November 2005. The 2005 Plan replaced the 1996 Plan and allows not only for the grant of options, but also for the grant of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock grants, restricted stock units and other equity rights. The 2005 Plan also allows for tax withholding obligations related to stock option exercises or restricted stock awards to be satisfied through the retention of shares otherwise released upon vesting. The PowerLight Plan was adopted by PowerLight’s Board of Directors in October 2000.

In May 2008, SunPower’s stockholders approved an automatic annual increase available for grant under the 2005 Plan, beginning in fiscal 2009. The automatic annual increase is equal to the lower of three percent of the outstanding shares of all classes of SunPower’s common stock measured on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, 6.0 million shares, or such other

number of shares as determined by SunPower’s Board of Directors. As of January 1, 2012, approximately 3.3 million shares were available for grant under the 2005 Plan. No new awards are being granted under the 1996 Plan or the PowerLight Plan.

Incentive stock options may be granted at no less than the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. Non-statutory stock options and stock purchase rights may be granted at no less than 85% of the fair value of the common stock at the date of grant. The options and rights become exercisable when and as determined by SunPower’s Board of Directors, although these terms generally do not exceed ten years for stock options. Under the 1996 and 2005 Plans, the options typically vest over five years with a one-year cliff and monthly vesting thereafter. Under the PowerLight Plan, the options typically vest over five years with yearly cliff vesting. Under the 2005 Plan, the restricted stock grants and restricted stock units typically vest in three equal installments annually over three years.

The majority of shares issued are net of the minimum statutory withholding requirements that SunPower pays on behalf of its employees. During the six months ended January 1, 2012 SunPower withheld 221,262 shares to satisfy the employees’ tax obligations. SunPower pays such withholding requirements in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. Shares withheld are treated as common stock repurchases for accounting and disclosure purposes and reduce the number of shares outstanding upon vesting.

G.SHARE-BASED PAYMENT EXPENSE

Share-based payment expense before tax for the year 2011 amounts to178 million and is broken down as follows:

27 million for TOTAL share subscription plans;

134 million for TOTAL restricted shares plans; and

17 million for SunPower plans.

Share-based payment expense before tax for the year 2010 amounted to140 million and was broken down as follows:

31 million for TOTAL share subscription plans; and

109 million for TOTAL restricted shares plans.

Share-based payment expense before tax for the year 2009 amounted to106 million and was broken down as follows:

38 million for TOTAL share subscription plans; and

68 million for TOTAL restricted shares plans.

The fair value of the options granted in 2011, 2010 and 2009 has been measured according to the Black-Scholes method and based on the following assumptions:

(c)The expected volatility is based on the implied volatility of TOTAL share options and of share indices options traded on the markets.

At the shareholders’ meeting held on May 21, 2010, the shareholders delegated to the Board of Directors the authority to increase the share capital of the Company in

one or more transactions and within a maximum period of 26 months from the date of the meeting, by an amount not exceeding 1.5% of the share capital outstanding on the date of the meeting of the Board of Directors at which a decision to proceed with an issuance is made reserving subscriptions for such issuance to the Group employees participating in a company savings plan. It is being specified that the amount of any such capital increase reserved for Group employees was counted against the aggregate maximum nominal amount of share capital increases authorized by the shareholders’ meeting held on May 21, 2010 for issuing new ordinary shares or other securities granting immediate or future access to the Company’s share capital with preferential subscription rights (2.5 billion in nominal value).

Pursuant to this delegation of authorization, the Board of Directors, during its October 28, 2010 meeting, implemented a capital increase reserved for employees within the limit of 12 million shares, with dividend rights as of the January 1, 2010 and delegated all power to the Chairman and CEOChief Executive Officer to determine the opening and closing of subscription period and the subscription price.

On March 14, 2011, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer decided that the subscription period would be set from March 16, 2011 to April 1, 2011 and acknowledged that the subscription price per ordinary share would be set at34.80. During this capital increase, 8,902,717 TOTAL shares were subscribed and created on April 28, 2011.

The cost of capital increases reserved for employees is reduced to take into account the non-transferability of the shares that could be subscribed by the employees over a period of five years. The valuation method of non-transferability of the shares is based on a strategy cost in two steps consisting, first, in a five years forward sale of the non-transferable shares, and second, in purchasing the same number of shares in cash with a loan financing reimbursable “in fine”. During the year 2011, the main

 

assumptions used for the valuation of the cost of capital increase reserved for employees were the following:

MARKET RISKS
Oil and gas market related risks

Due to the nature of its business, the Group has significant oil and gas trading activities as part of itsday-to-day operations in order to optimize revenues from its oil and gas production and to obtain favorable pricing to supply its refineries.

In its international oil trading business, the Group follows a policy of not selling its future production. However, in connection with this trading business, the Group, like most other oil companies, uses energy derivative instruments to adjust its exposure to price fluctuations of crude oil, refined products, natural gas, power and coal. The Group also uses freight rate derivative contracts in its shipping business to adjust its exposure to freight-rate fluctuations. To hedge against this risk, the Group uses various instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps and options on organised markets orover-the-counter markets. The list of the different derivatives held by the Group in these markets is detailed in Note 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Trading & Shipping division measures its market risk exposure,i.e. potential loss in fair values, on its crude oil, refined products and freight rates trading activities using avalue-at-risk technique. This technique is based on an historical model and makes an assessment of the market risk arising from possible future changes in market values over a24-hour period. The calculation of the range of potential changes in fair values takes into account a

snapshot of theend-of-day exposures and the set of historical price movements for the last 400 business days for all instruments and maturities in the global trading activities. Options are systematically reevaluated using appropriate models.

The potential movement in fair values corresponds to a 97.5%value-at-risk type confidence level. This means that


F-84


the Group’s portfolio result is likely to exceed thevalue-at-risk loss measure once over 40 business days if the portfolio exposures were left unchanged.

As part of its gas, power and coal trading activity, the Group also uses derivative instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps and options in both organised andover-the-counter markets. In general, the transactions are settled at maturity date through physical delivery. The Gas & Power division measures its market risk exposure,i.e.potential loss in fair values, on its trading business using avalue-at-risk technique. This technique is based on an historical model and makes an assessment of the market risk arising from possible future changes in market values over aone-day period. The calculation of the range of potential changes in fair values takes into account a

snapshot of theend-of-day exposures and the set of historical price movements for the past two years for all instruments and maturities in the global trading business.

The Group has implemented strict policies and procedures to manage and monitor these market risks. These are based on the splittingseparation of supervisory functions from operationalcontrol and front-office functions and on an integrated information system that enables real-time monitoring of trading activities.

Limits on trading positions are approved by the Group’s Executive Committee and are monitored daily. To increase flexibility and encourage liquidity, hedging operations are performed with numerous independent operators, including other oil companies, major energy producers or consumers and financial institutions. The Group has established counterparty limits and monitors outstanding amounts with each counterparty on an ongoing basis.

Financial markets related risks

As part of its financing and cash management activities, the Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These instruments are principally interest rate and currency swaps. The Group may also use, on a less frequent basis, futures and options contracts. These operations and their accounting treatment are detailed in Notes 1 paragraph M, 20, 28 and 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Risks relative to cash management operations and to interest rate and foreign exchange financial instruments are managed according to rules set by the Group’s senior management, which provide for regular pooling of available cash balances, open positions and management of the financial instruments by the Treasury Department. Excess cash of the Group is deposited mainly in government institutions, or deposit banks, or major companies through deposits, reverse repurchase agreements and purchase of commercial paper. Liquidity positions and the management of financial instruments are centralized by the Treasury Department, where they are managed by a team specialized in foreign exchange and interest rate market transactions.

The Cash Monitoring-Management Unit within the Treasury Department monitors limits and positions per bank on a daily basis and reports results.results of the Front Office. This unit also preparesmarked-to-market valuations of used financial instruments and, when necessary, performs sensitivity analysis.

Counterparty risk

The Group has established standards for market transactions under which bank counterparties must be approved in advance, based on an assessment of the counterparty’s financial soundness (multi-criteria analysis including a review of market prices and of the Credit Default Swap (CDS), its ratings with Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, which must be of high quality, and its overall financial condition).

An overall authorized credit limit is set for each bank and is allotted among the subsidiaries and the Group’s central treasury entities according to their needs.

To reduce the market values risk on its commitments, in particular for swaps set as part of bonds issuance, the Treasury Department also developed a system of margin call that is gradually implemented with significant counterparties.

Currency exposure

The Group seeks to minimize the currency exposure of each entity to its functional currency (primarily the euro, the dollar, the Canadian dollar, the pound sterling and the Norwegian krone).


F-85


For currency exposure generated by commercial activity, the hedging of revenues and costs in foreign currencies is typically performed using currency operations on the spot market and, in some cases, on the forward market. The Group rarely hedges future cash flows, although it may use options to do so.

With respect to currency exposure linked to non-current assets booked in a currency other than the euro, the Group has a policy of reducing the related currency exposure by financing these assets in the same currency.

Net short-term currency exposure is periodically monitored against limits set by the Group’s senior management.

The non-current debt described in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements is generally raised by the corporate treasury entities either directly in dollars, in euros or euros,in Canadian dollars, or in other currencies which are then exchanged for dollars or euros through swaps issues to appropriately match general corporate needs. The proceeds from these debt issuances are loaned to

affiliates whose accounts are kept in dollars, in Canadian dollars or in euros. Thus, the net sensitivity of these positions to currency exposure is not significant.

The Group’s short-term currency swaps, the notional value of which appears in Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, are used to attempt to optimize the centralized cash management of the Group. Thus, the sensitivity to currency fluctuations which may be induced is likewise considered negligible.

Short-term interest rate exposure and cash

Cash balances, which are primarily composed of euros and dollars, are managed according to the guidelines established by the Group’s senior management (maintain an adequate level of liquidity, optimize revenue from investments considering existing interest rate yield curves,

and minimize the cost of borrowing) over a less than twelve-month horizon and on the basis of a daily interest rate benchmark, primarily through short-term interest rate swaps and short-term currency swaps, without modifying currency exposure.

Interest rate risk on non-current debt

The Group’s policy consists of incurring non-current debt primarily at a floating rate, or, if the opportunity arises at the time of an issuance, at a fixed rate. Debt is incurred in dollars, in euros or in eurosCanadian dollars according to general corporate needs. Long-term interest rate and currency swaps may be used to hedge bonds at their issuance in order to create a variable or fixed rate synthetic debt. In order to partially modify the interest rate structure of the long-term debt, TOTAL may also enter into long-term interest rate swaps.

As a result of the policy for the management of currency exposure previously described, the Group’s sensitivity to currency exposure is primarily influenced by the net equity of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is the dollar and, to a lesser extent, the pound sterling, the Norwegian krone and the Norwegian krone.

This sensitivity is reflected in the historical evolution of the currency translation adjustment recorded in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity which, in the course of the last three fiscal years, is essentially related to the fluctuation of dollar and pound sterling and is set forth in the table below:

(a)The decrease in the heading “Other currencies and equity affiliates” is mainly explained by the change in the consolidation method of Sanofi-AventisSanofi (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The contribution to the shareholders’ equity of this investment is now reclassified into the heading for the Eurozone.

As a result of this policy, the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations on consolidated income, as illustrated in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, has not been significant over the last three years despite the considerable fluctuation of the dollar (nil(gain of118 million in 2011, nil result in 2010, loss of €3232 million in 2009, gain of €112 million in 2008)2009).

Stock market risk

The Group holds interests in a number of publicly-traded companies (see Notes 12 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The market value of these holdings fluctuates due to various factors, including stock market trends, valuations of the sectors in which the companies operate, and the economic and financial condition of each individual company.

Liquidity risk

TOTAL S.A. has confirmed lines of credit granted by international banks, which are calculated to allow it to manage its short-term liquidity needs as required.

As of December 31, 2010,2011, these lines of credit amounted to $9,592$10,139 million, of which $9,581$10,096 million was unused. The agreements for the lines of credit granted to TOTAL S.A. do not contain conditions related to the Company’s financial ratios, to its financial ratings from specialized agencies, or to the occurrence of events that could have a material adverse effect on its financial position. As of December 31, 2010,2011, the aggregate amount of the principal confirmed lines of credit


F-88


granted by international banks to Group companies, including TOTAL S.A., was $10,395$11,447 million, of which $10,383$11,154 million was unused. The lines of credit granted to Group companies other than TOTAL S.A. are not intended to finance the Group’s general needs; they are intended to finance either the general needs of the borrowing subsidiary or a specific project.

The following tables show the maturity of the financial assets and liabilities of the Group as of December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 20082009 (see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

As part of its credit risk management related to operating and financing activities, the Group has developed margin call contracts with certain counterparties. As of

December 31, 2010,2011, the net amount received as part of these margin calls was €1,5601,682 million (against €6931,560 million as of December 31, 2010 and693 million as of December 31, 2009).

Credit risk is managed by the Group’s business segments as follows:

Upstream Segment

Exploration & Production

• Upstream Segment

Exploration & Production

Risks arising under contracts with government authorities or other oil companies or under long-term supply contracts necessary for the development of projects are evaluated during the project approval process. The long-term aspect of these contracts and the high-quality of the other parties lead to a low level of credit risk.

Risks related to commercial operations, other than those described above (which are, in practice, directly monitored by subsidiaries), are subject to procedures for establishing and reviewing credit.

Customer receivables are subject to provisions on acase-by-case basis, based on prior history and management’s assessment of the facts and circumstances.

Gas & Power


F-90



Gas & Power
The Gas & Power division deals with counterparties in the energy, industrial and financial sectors throughout the world. Financial institutions providing credit risk coverage are highly rated international bank and insurance groups.

Potential counterparties are subject to credit assessment and approval before concluding transactions and are thereafter subject to regular review, including re-appraisal and approval of the limits previously granted.

The creditworthiness of counterparties is assessed based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative data regarding financial standing and business risks, together with the review of any relevant third party and market information, such as data published by rating agencies. On this basis, credit limits are defined for each potential counterparty and, where appropriate, transactions are subject to specific authorisations.

Credit exposure, which is essentially an economic exposure or an expected future physical exposure, is permanently monitored and subject to sensitivity measures.

Credit risk is mitigated by the systematic use of industry standard contractual frameworks that permit netting, enable requiring added security in case of adverse change in the counterparty risk, and allow for termination of the contract upon occurrence of certain events of default.

 

• Downstream Segment
 Refining & Marketing

Downstream Segment

Refining & Marketing

Internal procedures for the Refining & Marketing division include rules on credit risk that describe the basis of internal control in this domain, including the separation of authority between commercial and financial operations. Credit policies are defined at the local level, complemented by the implementation of procedures to monitor customer risk (credit committees at the subsidiary level, the creation of credit limits for corporate customers, portfolio guarantees, etc.).

Each entity also implements monitoring of its outstanding receivables. Risks related to credit may be mitigated or limited by subscription of credit insurance and/or requiring security or guarantees.

Bad debts are provisioned on acase-by-case basis at a rate determined by management based on an assessment of the facts and circumstances.risk of credit loss.

Trading & Shipping

Trading & Shipping

Trading & Shipping deals with commercial counterparties and financial institutions located throughout the world. Counterparties to physical and derivative transactions are primarily entities involved in the oil and gas industry or in the trading of energy commodities, or financial institutions. Credit risk coverage is concluded with financial institutions, international banks and insurance groups selected in accordance with strict criteria.

The Trading & Shipping division has a strict policy of internal delegation of authority governing establishment of country and counterparty credit limits and approval of specific transactions. Credit exposures contracted under these limits and approvals are monitored on a daily basis.

Potential counterparties are subject to credit assessment and approval prior to any transaction being concluded and all active counterparties are subject to regular reviews, including re-appraisal and approval of granted limits. The creditworthiness of counterparties is assessed based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative data regarding financial standing and business risks, together with the review of any relevant third party and market information, such as ratings published by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and other agencies.

Contractual arrangements are structured so as to maximize the risk mitigation benefits of netting between transactions wherever possible and additional protective

terms providing for the provision of security in the event of financial deterioration and the termination of transactions on the occurrence of defined default events are used to the greatest permitted extent.

Credit risks in excess of approved levels are secured by means of letters of credit and other guarantees, cash deposits and insurance arrangements. In respect of derivative transactions, risks are secured by margin call contracts wherever possible.

Chemicals Segment

• Chemicals Segment

Credit risk in the Chemicals segment is primarily related to commercial receivables. Each division implements procedures for managing and provisioning credit risk that differ based on the size of the subsidiary and the market in which it operates. The principal elements of these procedures are:

implementation of credit limits with different authorization procedures for possible credit overruns;

use of insurance policies or specific guarantees (letters of credit);

regular monitoring and assessment of overdue accounts (aging balance), including collection procedures; and

provisioning of bad debts on a customer-by-customer basis, according to payment delays and local payment practices (provisions may also be calculated based on statistics).

The principal antitrust proceedings in which the Group isGroup’s companies are involved are described thereafter.hereafter.

 

Chemicals Segment

 

As part of the spin-off of Arkema(1)(1) in 2006, TOTAL S.A. or certain other Group companies agreed to grant Arkema guaranteesa guarantee for potential monetary consequences related to antitrust proceedings arising from events prior to the spin-off.

These guarantees cover, for a period of ten years, 90% of amounts paid by Arkema related to (i) fines imposed by European authorities or European member-states for competition law violations, (ii) fines imposed by U.S. courts or antitrust authorities for federal antitrust violations or violations of the competition laws of U.S. states, (iii) damages awarded in civil proceedings related to the government proceedings mentioned above, and (iv) certain costs related to these proceedings. The guarantee related to anti-competition violations in Europe applies to amounts above a €176.5 million threshold. On the other hand, the agreements provide that Arkema will indemnify TOTAL S.A. or any Group company for 10% of any amount that TOTAL S.A. or any Group company are required to pay under any of the proceedings covered by these guarantees.

This guarantee covers, for a period of ten years from the date of the spin-off, 90% of amounts paid by Arkema related to (i) fines imposed by European authorities or European member-states for competition law violations, (ii) fines imposed by U.S. courts or antitrust authorities for federal antitrust violations or violations of the competition laws of U.S. states, (iii) damages awarded in civil proceedings related to the government proceedings mentioned above, and (iv) certain costs related to these proceedings. The guarantee related to anti-competition violations in Europe applies to amounts above a176.5 million threshold. On the other hand, the agreements provide that Arkema will indemnify TOTAL S.A. or any Group company for 10% of any amount that TOTAL S.A. or any Group company are required to pay under any of the proceedings covered by this guarantee, in Europe.

If one or more individuals or legal entities, acting alone or together, directly or indirectly holds more than one-third of the voting rights of Arkema, or if Arkema transfers more than 50% of its assets (as calculated under the enterprise valuation method, as of the date of the transfer) to a third party or parties acting together, irrespective of the type or number of transfers, these guaranteesthis guarantee will become void.

In the United States, civil liability lawsuits, for which TOTAL S.A. has been named as the parent company, are closed without significant impact on the Group’s financial position.

• In the United States, investigations into certain commercial practices of some subsidiaries of the Arkema group have been closed since 2007; no charges have been brought against Arkema. Civil liability lawsuits, for which TOTAL S.A. has been named as the parent company, are about to be closed and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s financial position.
• In Europe, since May 2006, the European Commission has fined companies of the Group in its configuration prior to the spin-off an overall amount of €385.47

In Europe, since 2006, the European Commission has fined companies of the Group in its configuration prior to the spin-off an overall amount of385.47 million, of which Elf Aquitaine and/or TOTAL S.A. were held jointly liable for280.17 million, Elf Aquitaine being personally fined23.6 million for deterrence. These fines are entirely settled as of today.

and/or TOTAL S.A. and their subsidiaries were held jointly liable for €280.17 million, Elf Aquitaine being personally fined €23.6 million for deterrence. These fines are entirely settled as of today.

As a result,(2) since the spin-off, the Group has paid the overall amount of €188.07188.07 million(2), corresponding to 90% of the fines overall amount once the threshold

provided for by the guarantee is deducted.

deducted to which an amount of31.31 million of interest has been added as explained hereinafter.

The European Commission imposed these fines following investigations between 2000 and 2004 into commercial practices involving eight products sold by Arkema. Five of these investigations resulted in prosecutions from the European Commission for which Elf Aquitaine has been named as the parent company, and two of these investigations named TOTAL S.A. as the ultimate parent company of the Group.

TOTAL S.A. and Elf Aquitaine are contesting their liability based solely on their status as parent companies and appealed for cancellation and reformation of the rulings that are still pending before the relevant EU court of appeals or supreme court of appeals.

During the year 2011, four of the proceedings have evolved and are closed as far as Arkema is concerned:

In one of these proceedings, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has rejected the action of Arkema while the decisions of the European Commission and of the General Court of the European Union against the parent companies have been squashed. Consequently, this proceeding is definitively closed regarding Arkema as well as the parent companies.

In two other proceedings, previous decisions against Arkema and the parent companies have been upheld by the General Court of the European Union. While the parent companies have introduced an appeal before the CJEU, Arkema did not appeal to the CJEU.

Finally, in a last proceeding, the General Court has decided to reduce the amount of the fine initially ordered against Arkema while, in parallel, it has rejected the actions of the parent companies that have remained obliged to pay the whole amount of the fine initially ordered by the European Commission. Arkema has accepted this decision while the parent companies have introduced an appeal before the CJEU.

Arkema began implementing compliance procedures in 2001 that are designed to prevent its employees from violating antitrust provisions. However, it is not possible to exclude the possibility that the relevant authorities could commence additional proceedings involving Arkema regarding events prior to the spin-off, as well as Elf Aquitaineand/or TOTAL S.A. based on their status as parent company.

GRANDE PAROISSE

An explosion occurred at the Grande Paroisse industrial site in the city of Toulouse in France on September 21, 2001. Grande Paroisse, a former subsidiary of Atofina which became a subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine Fertilisants on December 31, 2004, as part of the reorganization of the Chemicals segment, was principally engaged in the production and sale of agricultural fertilizers. The explosion, which involved a stockpile of ammonium nitrate pellets, destroyed a portion of the site and caused the death of thirty-one people, including twenty-one workers at the site, and injured many others. The explosion also caused significant damage to certain property in part of the city of Toulouse.

This plant has been closed and individual assistance packages have been provided for employees. The site has been rehabilitated.

On December 14, 2006, Grande Paroisse signed, under the supervision of the city of Toulouse, the deed whereby it donated the former site of the AZF plant to the greater agglomeration of Toulouse (CAGT) and theCaisse des dépôts et consignations and its subsidiary ICADE. Under this deed, TOTAL S.A. guaranteed the site restoration obligations of Grande Paroisse and granted a10 million endowment to the InNaBioSanté research foundation as part of the setting up of a cancer research center at the site by the city of Toulouse.

Regarding the cause of the explosion, the hypothesis that the explosion was caused by Grande Paroisse through the accidental mixing of hundreds of kilos of a chlorine compound at a storage site for ammonium nitrate was

 

BUNCEFIELD

discredited over the course of the investigation. As a result, proceedings against ten of the eleven Grande Paroisse employees charged during the criminal investigation conducted by the Toulouse Regional Court (Tribunal de grande instance) were dismissed and this dismissal was upheld on appeal. Nevertheless, the final experts’ report filed on May 11, 2006 continued to focus on the hypothesis of a chemical accident, although this hypothesis was not confirmed during the attempt to reconstruct the accident at the site. After having articulated several hypotheses, the experts no longer maintain that the accident was caused by pouring a large quantity of a chlorine compound over ammonium nitrate. Instead, the experts have retained a scenario where a container of chlorine compound sweepings was poured between a layer of wet ammonium nitrate covering the floor and a quantity of dry agricultural nitrate at a location not far from the principal storage site. This is claimed to have caused an explosion which then spread into the main storage site. Grande Paroisse was investigated based on this new hypothesis in 2006; Grande Paroisse is contesting this explanation, which it believes to be based on elements that are not factually accurate.

All the requests for additional investigations that were submitted by Grande Paroisse, the former site manager and various plaintiffs were denied on appeal after the end of the criminal investigation procedure. On July 9, 2007, the investigating judge brought charges against Grande Paroisse and the former plant manager before the criminal chamber of the Court of Appeal of Toulouse. In late 2008, TOTAL S.A. and Mr. Thierry Desmarest were summoned to appear in Court pursuant to a request by a victims association. The trial for this case began on February 23, 2009, and lasted approximately four months.

On November 19, 2009, the Toulouse Criminal Court acquitted both the former Plant Manager, and Grande Paroisse due to the lack of reliable evidence for the explosion. The Court also ruled that the summonses against TOTAL S.A. and Mr. Thierry Desmarest, Chairman and CEO at the time of the disaster, were inadmissible.

Due to the presumption of civil liability that applied to Grande Paroisse, the Court declared Grande Paroisse civilly liable for the damages caused by the explosion to the victims in its capacity as custodian and operator of the plant.

The Prosecutor’s office, together with certain third parties, has appealed the Toulouse Criminal Court verdict. In order to preserve its rights, Grande Paroisse lodged a cross-appeal with respect to civil charges.

The appeal proceedings before the Court of Appeal of Toulouse started on November 3, 2011.

A compensation mechanism for victims was set up immediately following the explosion.2.3 billion was paid for the compensation of claims and related expenses amounts. As of December 31, 2011, a21 million reserve was recorded in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet.

BUNCEFIELD

On December 11, 2005, several explosions, followed by a major fire, occurred at an oil storage depot at Buncefield, north of London. This depot was operated by Hertfordshire Oil Storage Limited (HOSL), a company in which TOTAL’s UK subsidiary holds 60% and another oil group holds 40%.

The explosion caused injuries, most of which were minor injuries, to a number of people and caused property damage to the depot and the buildings and homes located nearby. The official Independent Investigation Board has indicated that the explosion was caused by the overflow of a tank at the depot. The Board’s final report was released on December 11, 2008. The civil procedure for claims, which had not yet been settled, took place between October and December 2008. The Court’s decision of March 20, 2009, declared TOTAL’s UK subsidiary liable for the accident and solely liable for indemnifying the victims. The subsidiary appealed the decision. The appeal trial took place in January 2010. The Court of Appeals, by a decision handed down on March 4, 2010, confirmed the prior judgment. The Supreme Court of United Kingdom has partially authorized TOTAL’s UK subsidiary to contest the decision. The hearings before the Supreme Court are expectedTOTAL’s UK subsidiary finally decided to be held during the first half ofwithdraw from this recourse due to settlement agreements reached in mid-February 2011.

The Group carries insurance for damage to its interests in these facilities, business interruption and civil liability claims from third parties. The provision for the civil liability that appears in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2010,2011, stands at €19480 million after taking into account the payments previously made.

The Group believes that, based on the information currently available, on a reasonable estimate of its liability and on provisions recognized, this accident should not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial situation or consolidated results.

In addition, on December 1, 2008, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Environment Agency (EA) issued a Notice of prosecution against five companies, including TOTAL’s UK subsidiary. By a judgment on July 16, 2010, TOTAL’s UKthe subsidiary was fined £3.6 million.million and paid it. The decision takes into account a number of elements that have mitigated the impact of the charges brought against it.

ERIKA

Following the sinking in December 1999 of the Erika, a tanker that was transporting products belonging to one of the Group companies, theTribunal de grande instanceof Paris convicted TOTAL S.A. of marine pollution pursuant to a judgment issued on January 16, 2008, finding that TOTAL S.A. was negligent in its vetting procedure for vessel selection, and ordering TOTAL S.A. to pay a fine of €375,000.375,000. The courtCourt also ordered compensation to be paid to those affected by the pollution from the Erika up to an aggregate amount of €192192 million, declaring TOTAL S.A. jointly and severally liable for such payments together with the Erika’s inspection and classification firm, the Erika’s owner and the Erika’s manager.

TOTAL has appealed the verdict of January 16, 2008. In the meantime, it nevertheless proposed to pay third parties who so requested definitive compensation as determined by the court. Forty-oneCourt. Forty-two third parties have been compensated for an aggregate amount of €171.5171.5 million.

By a decision dated March 30, 2010, the Court of Appeal of Paris upheld the lower courtCourt verdict pursuant to which TOTAL S.A. was convicted of marine pollution and fined €375,000.375,000. TOTAL appealed this decision to the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation).

However, the Court of Appeal ruled that TOTAL S.A. bears no civil liability according to the applicable international conventions and consequently ruled that TOTAL S.A. be not convicted.

To facilitate the payment of damages awarded by the Court of Appeal in Paris to third parties against Erika’s controlling and classification firm, the ship-owner and the ship-manager, a global settlement agreement was signed late 2011 between these parties and TOTAL S.A. under the auspices of the IOPC Fund. Under this global settlement agreement, each party agreed to the withdrawal of all civil proceedings initiated against all other parties to the agreement.

TOTAL S.A. believes that, based on the information currently available, the case should not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial situation or consolidated results.

BLUE RAPID AND THE RUSSIAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE  RUSSIAN REGIONS AND INTERNEFT

Blue Rapid, a Panamanian company, and the Russian Olympic Committee filed a claim for damages with the Paris Commercial Court against Elf Aquitaine, concerning the withdrawalalleging a so-called non-completion by a former subsidiary of oneElf Aquitaine of its subsidiaries froma contract related to an exploration and

production project in Russia that was negotiated in the early 1990s. Elf Aquitaine believesbelieved this claim to be unfounded.unfounded and opposed it. On January 12, 2009, the Commercial Court of Paris rejected Blue Rapid’s claim against Elf Aquitaine and found that the Russian Olympic Committee did not have standing in the matter. ThisBlue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee appealed this decision. On June 30, 2011, the Court of Appeal of Paris dismissed as inadmissible the claim of Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee against Elf Aquitaine, notably on the grounds of the contract’s termination. Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee appealed this decision has been appealed. The hearings should be held duringto the first half of 2011.

In connection with the same facts, and fifteen years after the termination of thisthe exploration and production project,contract, a Russian company, which was held not to be the contracting party to the contract, and two regions of the Russian Federation which were not even parties to the contract, have launched an arbitration procedure against athe aforementioned former subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine that was liquidated in 2005, claiming alleged damages of an unspecified amount at this stage ofU.S.$ 22.4 billion. For the procedure. Thesame reasons as those successfully adjudicated by Elf Aquitaine against Blue Rapid and the Russian Olympic Committee, the Group considers this claim to be unfounded.unfounded as to a matter of law or fact. The Group has lodged a criminal complaint to denounce the fraudulent claim which the Group believes it is a victim of and, has taken and reserved its rights to take anyother actionsand/or and measures that would be appropriate to defend its interests.

IRAN

In 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) followed by the Department of Justice (DoJ) issued a formal order directing an investigation in connection with the pursuit of business in Iran, by certain oil companies including, among others, TOTAL.

The inquiry concerns an agreement concluded by the Company with a consultant concerning a gas field in Iran and aims to verify whether certain payments made under this agreement would have benefited Iranian officials in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the Company’s accounting obligations.

Investigations are still pending and the Company is cooperating with the SEC and the DoJ. In 2010, the Company opened talks with U.S. authorities, without any acknowledgement of facts, to consider anout-of-court settlement. Generally,out-of-court settlements with U.S. authorities include payment settlement as it is often the case in this kind of finesproceeding.

Late in 2011, the SEC and the obligationDoJ proposed to improve internal compliance systems or other measures.TOTAL out-of-court settlements that would close their inquiries, in exchange for TOTAL’s committing to a number of

 

obligations and paying fines. As TOTAL was unable to agree to several substantial elements of the proposal, the Company is continuing discussions with the U.S. authorities. The Company is free not to accept an out-of-court settlement solution, in which case it would be exposed to the risk of prosecution in the United States.

In this same case,affair, a parallel judicial inquiry related to TOTAL was initiated in France in 2006. In 2007, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer was placed under formal investigation in relation to this inquiry, as the former President of the Middle East department of the Group’s Exploration & Production division. The Company has not been notified of any significant developments in the proceedings since the formal investigation was launched.

At this point, the Company cannot determine when these investigations will terminate, and cannot predict their results, or the outcome of the talks that have been initiated, or the costs of a potentialout-of-court settlement.initiated. Resolving this casethese cases is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s financial situation or any impactconsequences on its future planned operations.

OIL-FOR-FOOD PROGRAM

Several countries have launched investigations concerning possible violations related to the United Nations (UN) Oil-for-Food program in Iraq.

Pursuant to a French criminal investigation, certain current or former Group employees were placed under formal criminal investigation for possible charges as accessories to the misappropriation of corporate assets and as accessories to the corruption of foreign public agents. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, formerly President of the Group’s Exploration & Production division, was also placed under formal investigation in October 2006. In 2007, the criminal investigation was closed and the case was transferred to the Prosecutor’s office. In 2009, the Prosecutor’s office recommended to the investigating judge that the case against the Group’s current and former employees and TOTAL’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer not be pursued.

In early 2010, despite the recommendation of the Prosecutor’s office, a new investigating judge, having taken over the case, decided to indict TOTAL S.A. on bribery charges as well as complicity and influence peddling. The indictment was brought eight years after the beginning of the investigation without any new evidence being introduced.

In October 2010, the Prosecutor’s office recommended to the investigating judge that the case against TOTAL S.A., the Group’s current and former employees and TOTAL’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer not be pursued.

However, by ordinance notified in early August 2011, the investigating judge on the matter decided to send the case to trial.

The Company believes that its activities related to the Oil-for-Food program have been in compliance with this program, as organized by the UN in 1996.

The Volcker report released by the independent investigating committee set up by the UN had discarded any bribery grievance within the framework of the Oil-For-Food program with respect to TOTAL.

ITALY

As part of an investigation led by the Prosecutor of the Republic of the Potenza Court, Total Italia and certain Group’s employees are the subject of an investigation related to certain calls for tenders that Total Italia made for the preparation and development of an oil field. On February 16, 2009, as a preliminary measure before the proceedings go before the Court, the preliminary investigation judge of Potenza served notice to Total Italia of a decision that would suspend the concession for this field for one year. Total Italia has appealed the decision by the preliminary investigation judge before the Court of Appeal of Potenza. In a decision dated April 8, 2009, the Court reversed the suspension of the concession and appointed for one year,i.e.until February 16, 2010, a judicial administrator to supervise the operations related to the development of the concession, allowing the Tempa Rossa project to continue.

The criminal investigation was closed in the first half of 2010. The preliminary hearing judge, who will decide whether the case shall be returned to the Criminal Court to be judged on the merits, held the first hearing on December 6, 2010. The proceedings before the Judge of the preliminary hearing are still pending.

In 2010, Total Italia’s exploration and production operations were transferred to Total E&P Italia and refining and marketing operations were merged with those of Erg Petroli.

LIBYA

During the financial year 2011, the Group’s activities were affected by the security context in Libya, and the Group’s production was gradually shut down as from the end of February. The Group’s production started up again at the end of September 2011 on the offshore Al Jurf field located in zones 15, 16 & 32 (ex C137) at the level existing before the events, and has gradually restarted since October 2011 in onshore zones 129, 130 and 131. The restart of the Group’s production on the other onshore zones is expected to occur progressively in 2012.

 

In June 2011, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued to certain oil companies — including, among others, TOTAL — a formal request for information related to their operations in Libya. TOTAL is cooperating with this non public investigation.

YEMEN

During the financial year 2011, the Group’s activities were not significantly impacted by the security context in Yemen, but the Group nevertheless reorganized locally to minimize the risks to its personnel. In addition, on October 15, 2011, the gas pipeline supplying Yemen LNG was sabotaged, and then repaired with no delay, enabling LNG production to resume as from October 26, 2011.

SYRIA

In May 2011, the European Union adopted measures with criminal and financial penalties that prohibit the supply of certain equipment to Syria, as well as certain financial and asset transactions with respect to a list of named individuals and entities. These measures apply to European persons and to entities constituted under the laws of a EU Member State. In September 2011, the EU adopted further measures, including, notably, a prohibition on the purchase, import or transportation from Syria of crude oil and petroleum products. Since early September 2011, the Group ceased to purchase hydrocarbons from Syria. On December 1, 2011, the EU extended sanctions against, among others, three state-owned Syrian oil firms, including General Petroleum Corporation, the Group’s co-contracting partner in PSA 1988 (Deir Es Zor license) and the Tabiyeh contract. Since early December 2011, TOTAL has ceased its activities that contribute to oil and gas production in Syria.

SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (Unaudited)

As from 2009, the amendments to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)Rule 4-10 ofRegulation S-X set forth in the “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting” release (SEC Release n°33-8995) and the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update regarding Extractive Activities — OilActivities-Oil and Gas (ASC 932) change a number of reserves estimation and disclosure requirements. As a reminder, in terms of reserves estimation, the main changes are: the use of an average price instead of a single year-end price; the use of new reliable technologies to assess proved reserves; and the inclusion, under certain conditions, ofnon-traditional sources as oil and gas producing activities. The revised rules form the basis of the 2011, 2010 and 2009 year-end estimation of proved reserves. The main impact of the application of the revised rules was related to, for 2009, the use of new reliable technologies and, for 2010, the booking of proved reserves on an oil sands mining project.

Preparation of reserves estimates

The estimation of reserves is an ongoing process which is done within affiliates by experienced geoscientists, engineers and economists under the supervision of each affiliate’s General Management. Persons involved in reserves evaluation are trained to follow SEC-compliant internal guidelines and policies regarding criteria that must be met before reserves can be considered as proved.

The technical validation process relies on a ReservoirTechnical Reserves Committee that is responsible for approving proved reserves changes above a certain threshold and technical evaluations of reserves associated with any investment decision that requires approval from the Exploration & Production Executive Committee. The Chairman of the ReservoirTechnical Reserves Committee is appointed by the PresidentSenior Management of Exploration & Production and its members represent expertise in reservoir engineering, production geology, production geophysics, drilling, and pre-development projects.

development studies.

An internal control process related to reserves estimation is well established within TOTAL and involves the following elements:

A central Reserve Entity whose responsibility is to consolidate, document and archive the Group’s reserves; to ensure coherence of evaluations worldwide; to maintain the Corporate Reserves Guidelines Standards in line with SEC guidelines and policies; to deliver training on reserves

evaluation and classification; and to conduct periodically in-depth technical review of reserves for each affiliate.

• An annual review of affiliates reserves is conducted by an internal group of specialists selected for their expertise in geosciences and engineering or their knowledge of the affiliate. All members of this group chaired by the Geoscience Reserve Manager and composed of at least three Reservoir Committee members are knowledgeable in the SEC guidelines for proved reserves evaluation. Their responsibility is to provide an independent review of reserves changes proposed by affiliates and ensure that reserves are estimated using appropriate standards and procedures.
• At the end of the annual review carried out by the Geoscience Division, an SEC Reserves Committee chaired by the Exploration & Production Finance Senior Vice President and comprised of the Geoscience, Strategy and Legal Senior Vice Presidents, or their representatives, as well as the Chairman of the Reservoir Committee and the Geoscience Reserves Manager, approves the SEC reserve booking proposals as regards to criteria that are not dependent upon reservoir and geoscience techniques. The results of the annual review and the proposals for including revisions or additions of SEC Proved Reserves are presented to the Exploration & Production Executive Committee for approval before final validation by the Group Executive Management.

Proved developed reserves

At the end of 2011, proved developed reserves of oil and gas were 6,046 Mboe and represented 53% of the proved reserves. At the end of 2010, proved developed reserves of oil and gas were 5,708 Mboe and represented 53% of the proved reserves. At year-endthe end of 2009, proved developed reserves of oil and gas were 5,835 Mboe and represented 56% of proved reserves. At the end of 2008, proved developed reserves were 5,243 Mboe and represented 50% of proved reserves. Over the past three years, the level of proved developed reserves has remained above 5.25.7 Bboe and over 50%53% of proved reserves, illustrating TOTAL’s ability to consistently transfer proved undeveloped reserves into developed status.

Proved undeveloped reserves

As of December 31, 2010,2011, TOTAL’s combined proved undeveloped reserves of oil and gas were 4,9875,377 Mboe as compared to 4,6484,987 Mboe at the end of 2009.2010. The net increase of 339390 Mboe of proved undeveloped reserves is due to the addition of 291+639 Mboe of undeveloped reserves related to extensions and discoveries, a net increase of +401 Mboe due to acquisitions/divestitures, the revision of +183-168 Mboe of previous estimates a net increase of +416 Mboe due to acquisitions/divestitures(partly resulting from negative price effects), and the conversiontransfer of −551482 Mboe offrom proved undeveloped reserves intoto proved developed reserves. In 2010,2011, the capital expendedcosts incurred to develop proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) was €6.710.2 billion, which represents 81%84% of 20102011 development costs incurred, and was related to projects located for the most part in Angola, Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, Angola,Nigeria, Norway, Nigeria, Indonesia, United Kingdom Thailand and the United States.

Russia.

Approximately 60%57% of the Group’s proved undeveloped reserves are associated with producing fieldsprojects and are

located for the most part in Angola, Canada, Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates, VenezuelaNorway, and Norway.Venezuela. These reserves are expected to be developed over time as part of initial field development plans or additional development phases. The timing to bring these proved reserves into production will depend upon several factors including reservoir performance, surface facilities or plant capacity constraints and contractual limitations on production level. The remaining proved undeveloped reserves correspond to undeveloped fields or assets for which a development has been sanctioned or is in progress.

The Group’s portfolio of projects includes a few large scale and complex developments for which it anticipates that it may take more than five years from the time of recording proved reserves to the start of production. These specific projects represent approximately 30%26% of the Group’s proved undeveloped reserves and include the development of a giant field in Kazakhstan, deep offshore developments in Angola, Nigeria and the United Kingdom and development of oil sands in Canada. These projects are highly complex to develop due to a combination of factors that include, among others, the nature of the reservoir rock and fluid properties, challenging operating environments and the size of the projects. In addition, some of these projects are generally designed and optimized for a given production capacity that controls the pace at which the field is developed and the wells are drilled. At productionstart-up, only a portion of the proved reserves are developed in order to deliver sufficient production potential to meet capacity constraints and contractual obligations. The remaining PUDsPUD’s associated with the complete development plan will therefore remain undeveloped for more than five years following project approval and booking. Under these specific circumstances, the Group believes that it is justified to report as proved reserves the level of reserves used in connection with the approved project, despite the fact that some of these PUDs may remain undeveloped for more than five years. In addition, TOTAL has demonstrated in recent years the Group’s ability to successfully develop and bring into production similar large scale and complex projects, including the development of deep-offshore fields in Angola, Nigeria, the Republic of Congo, HP/HT fields in the United Kingdom, heavy oil projects in Venezuela and LNG projects in Qatar, Yemen, Nigeria and Indonesia.

ESTIMATED PROVED RESERVES OF OIL, BITUMEN AND GAS RESERVES

The following tables present, for oil, bitumen and gas reserves, an estimate of the Group’s oil, bitumen and gas quantities by geographic areas as of December 31, 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008.2009. Quantities shown concern proved developed and undeveloped reserves together with changes in quantities for 2011, 2010 2009 and 2008.

2009.

The definitions used for proved, proved developed and proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are in accordance with the revisedRule 4-10 of SECRegulation S-X.

All references in the following tables to reserves or production are to the Group’s entire share of such reserves or production. TOTAL’s worldwide proved reserves include the proved reserves of its consolidated subsidiaries as well as its proportionate share of the proved reserves of equity affiliates and of two companies accounted for by the cost method.

STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF

DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS

(EXCLUDING TRANSPORTATION)

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserve quantities was developed as follows:

estimates of proved reserves and the corresponding production profiles are based on existing technical and economic conditions;

the estimated future cash flows are determined based on prices used in estimating the Group’s proved oil and gas reserves;

the future cash flows incorporate estimated production costs (including production taxes), future development costs and asset retirement costs. All cost estimates are based on year-end technical and economic conditions;

future income taxes are computed by applying the year-end statutory tax rate to future net cash flows after consideration of permanent differences and future income tax credits; and

• Estimates of proved reserves and the corresponding production profiles are based on existing technical and economic conditions;
• The estimated future cash flows are determined based on prices used in estimating the Group’s proved oil and gas reserves;
• The future cash flows incorporate estimated production costs (including production taxes), future development costs and asset retirement costs. All cost estimates are based on year-end technical and economic conditions;
• Future income taxes are computed by applying the year-end statutory tax rate to future net cash flows after consideration of permanent differences and future income tax credits; and
• Future net cash flows are discounted at a standard discount rate of 10 percent.

future net cash flows are discounted at a standard discount rate of 10%.

These principles applied are those required by ASC 932 and do not reflect the expectations of real revenues from these reserves, nor their present value; hence, they do not constitute criteria for investment decisions. An estimate of the fair value of reserves should also take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, anticipated future changes in prices and costs and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in reserves estimates.
