In addition, TOTAL contributes to maintenance operations for aging surface equipment and the deteriorated crude oil pipelines that need replacement.

The needs of the two companies, Al Waha and Mabrouk, were also discussed for the purpose of increasing production rates according to short, medium and long-term plans, as well as introducing renewable energy technology (solar energy) in the systems of the Waha Oil Company.

Social initiatives programs in the company's operations areas were addressed as well, and Mr. Pouyanné promised to make more contributions, on top of which is the contribution to financing the World Health Organization's proposal submitted to the National Oil Corporation regarding the provision of medicines and treatment for a segment of children from oncology patients in Libya.
