Total has recently announced the completion of its acquisition of MaerskOil, which was signed in August 2017. The deal would add a billion barrels of oil equivalent to total oil and gas reserves. By 2018, oil and gas production will reach 160,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, and the output will climb to 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2020.

Total's purchase of maersk could cement its leading position in the UK and Norway and enter Denmark as the second largest oil and gas exploration and development operator in the north sea. The deal would also increase total's operating area in other parts of the world, particularly in Algeria and the gulf of Mexico.
