An Integrated Business Model to Capture Internal Synergies

Total is a major energy operator, active in every segment of the oil and gas industry. We also produce chemicals and develop and market solutions involving new energies.

In early 2012, we reorganized our chemical, refining and petroleum product marketing activites into two business segments : Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services. The new configuration enables us to make the most of the industrial overlap between refining and petrochemicals, improving our performance. It also raises the profile of our sales and marketing activities.

As a consequence, Total is now organized around the following three business segments :

• Upstream, which includes oil exploration and production and activities involving natural gas and new energies, mainly solar and biomass.

• Refining & Chemicals, which comprises refining, petrochemicals, base chemicals, fertilizers, specialty chemicals (rubber resins, adhesives, electroplating), and oil and gas trading and shipping activities.

• Marketing & Services, which covers the supply and marketing of petroleum products. Since July 2012, it includes the activities of New Energies.
