PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) announces the acquisition of a 25% working interest in a portfolio of exploration leases Offshore U.S. from Chevron (operator).

'Building on the momentum of the recent Ballymore and Anchor startups, we are very pleased to expand our successful partnership with Chevron, and we expect to mature Exploration drill decisions on these blocks utilizing advanced 3D imaging technology to unlock large remaining U.S. Offshore production potential.'
