HORZONTAL DENTRO DE NOTA  - 700x80 SUPERIOR

TotalEnergy whitewashed its partner that operated in the Malvinas, with whom they now extract oil from Tierra del Fuego.

This refers to Harbour Energy, a former partner of Rockhopper, which sold 65% of the assets currently held by Navitas in the Sea Lion field. The acquisition of 37.5% of the Austral Marine Basin 1 was authorized by Governor Melella in July 2025.

Harbour Energy's recognition of a 37.5% stake in the Cullen and Cañadón Alfa hydrocarbon business raises new questions about whether the chartering of the British-flagged tanker was a logistical coincidence.

On its official corporate website, the French multinational formalized the integration of the Southern Marine Basin 1 Consortium (CMA-1), awarding the British company Harbour Energy 37.5% of the offshore concessions. This confirmation completes the documentary evidence of the firm's presence in the Tierra del Fuego oil fields and exposes the negligence of state regulatory bodies.

TotalEnergies Argentina 's institutional publication on the development of the Fénix field and the background of the Austral Marine Basin provides a decisive piece of evidence: the public and corporate admission that the British company Harbour Energy is a co-owner of 37.5% of the strategic gas and oil assets in the southern sea .

 Three dimensions of Harbour Energy's whitewashing

1. Replacement of legal status without administrative objection

2. The crucial role in the national gas matrix

3. Direct connection with the VS PROMISE logistics
