In the aftermath of the publication of the world’s survey on production, by the Russian company Terneftegaz, co -detected by Totalenergies, of a gas condensate then transformed into kerosene and used by the Russian army to bomb the Ukraine, the Minister responsible for transport, Clément Beaune, called on Thursday, August 25, in the morning, to “shed light” on the role occupied by the French oil tanker in Russia. “This is an extremely serious subject, explained Mr. Beaune on France 2, so it must be verified that, voluntarily or involuntarily, there is no diversion either sanctions, or energy that French companies or Others would produce. “
By relying on a Global Witness investigation as well as on the financial data database, Le Monde has raised the kerosene supply chain of two military bases (Morozovskaïa and Malchevo), to the deposit of Gaz de TermokarstoVoïe, in Siberia, co -designed by Totalenergies and where gas condensates are extracted, a light hydrocarbon. These bases each house a squadron of multirôle combat aircraft, accused, by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, of having struck the Ukrainian civilian population, especially during the bombing of the Marioupol theater, which would have caused the death of hundreds of people , March 16.
Role previously minimized
Friday morning, the oil giant published a press release in which he affirms that all the gas condensates out of the ground by his Terneftegaz joint venture and stabilized in the factory of his Russian partner Novatek are delivered to the UST-Luga industrial complex To be transformed into “a series of products including kerosene which is exclusively exported outside Russia and this fuel jet [fuel for plane] does not have the necessary certificates to be sold on the Russian market”. And the French group to conclude: “The allegations of certain media and the calls to investigate the activities of totalnergies in our joint societies have absolutely no factual basis.”
Totalenergies recognizes, however, that the Novatek factory, a partner of which he is a shareholder, “also contributes to stabilizing condensates from other Russian producers”. This means that they can be used to make fuel for other customers, including the army. “While the facts are clear, these new declarations of totalergia contradict the previous ones, when the group affirmed that all the gas and condensate liquids were treated together in the Purovsky factory, reacts Global Witness, which makes it all the more necessary the launch of a survey. “
