==History==
===1924–1985: Compagnie Française des Pétroles===
The company was founded after World War I, when petrol was seen as vital in case of a new war with Germany. The then-French President [[Raymond Poincaré]] rejected the idea of forming a partnership with [[Royal Dutch Shell]] in favour of creating an entirely French oil company. At Poincaré's behest in 1924 Col. [[Ernest Mercier]], with the support of 90 banks and companies, founded the Compagnie Française des Pétroles (CFP) (in English, the French Petroleum Company).

As per the agreement reached during the [[San Remo conference]] of 1920, the French state received the 25% share held by [[Deutsche Bank]] in the [[Turkish Petroleum Company]] (TPC) as part of the compensation for war damages caused by Germany during [[World War I]]. The French government's stake in TPC was transferred to CFP,<ref name="GT-DEX-1920-78">{{Cite web |title=Milestones: 1921–1936, the 1928 Red Line Agreement |url=https://history.state.gov/milestones/1921-1936/RedLine |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120729164126/http://history.state.gov/milestones/1921-1936/RedLine |archive-date=29 July 2012 |access-date=18 August 2012 |publisher=US Department of State}}</ref> and the [[Red Line Agreement|Red Line agreement]] in 1928 rearranged the shareholding of CFP in TPC (later renamed the [[Iraq Petroleum Company]] in 1929) to 23.75%.<ref name="GT-DEX-1928-63">{{Cite web |title=An Administrative/Biographical History of Iraq Petroleum Company |url=http://archiveshub.ac.uk/features/0300ipc.html |access-date=18 August 2012}}</ref> The company from the start was regarded as a [[private sector]] company in view of its listing on the [[Paris Stock Exchange]] in 1929.

During the 1930s, the company was engaged in exploration and production, primarily from the Middle East. Its first refinery began operating in [[Normandy]] in 1933. After World War II, CFP engaged in oil exploration in Venezuela, Canada, and Africa while pursuing energy sources within France. Exploration in [[Algeria]], then a French colony, began in 1946, with Algeria becoming a leading source of oil in the 1950s.<ref name=TOT-H-02/>

In 1954 CFP branded its [[Downstream (petroleum industry)|downstream]] products as Total in Africa and Europe.<ref name="TOT-H-02">{{Cite web |title=Compagnie Française des Pétroles and Its Contribution to the Re-establishment of France's Position among the Oil Countries after the Second World War |url=http://www.thebhc.org/publications/BEHonline/2006/sassi.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512121843/http://thebhc.org/publications/BEHonline/2006/sassi.pdf |archive-date=12 May 2013 |access-date=18 June 2012}} by Mohamed Sassi, Research associate at Université de Paris-IV (Sorbonne)</ref><ref name="TOT-H-01">{{Cite web |title=Total company info on Britannica |url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/600398/Total-SA |access-date=18 June 2012}}</ref>

Total entered the United States in 1971 by acquiring Leonard Petroleum of [[Alma, Michigan]] and several [[Amoco|Standard Oil of Indiana]] stations in [[Metro Detroit]].<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/1971/05/16/archives/french-toehold.html | title=French toehold | work=The New York Times | date=16 May 1971 | access-date=8 July 2022}}</ref>

In 1980, Total Petroleum (North America) Ltd., a company controlled 50% by CFP, bought the American refining and marketing assets of [[Vickers Petroleum]] as part of a sell-off by [[JBS USA|Esmark]] of its energy holdings. This purchase gave Total refining capacity, transportation, and a network of 350 [[filling station|service stations]] in 20 states.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Atlas |first=Terry |date=27 August 1980 |title=Esmark will sell TransOcean oil, gas unit to Mobil |pages=4–3 |work=Chicago Tribune |url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1980/08/27/page/37/article/esmark-will-sell-trans-ocean-oil-gas-unit-to-mobil |access-date=23 September 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Cole |first=Robert J. |date=22 August 1980 |title=Mobil high bidder for Esmark oil holdings |page=24 |work=Lawrence (KS) Journal-World |agency=New York Times News Service |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=fJYyAAAAIBAJ&pg=6750%2C5297801 |access-date=23 September 2015}}</ref><ref name="cobizhall">{{Cite web |date=2009 |title=Jack Vickers |url=http://www.coloradobusinesshalloffame.org/jack-vickers.html |access-date=23 September 2015 |website=Colorado Business Hall of Fame}}</ref>

===1985–2003: Total CFP and rebranding to Total===
[[File:TotalPlazaHouston.JPG|thumb|[[Total Plaza]], the headquarters of the subsidiary [[Total Petrochemicals USA]], in [[Downtown Houston|Downtown]] [[Houston]]]]

The company renamed itself Total CFP in 1985, to build on the popularity of its gasoline brand.<ref name=TOT-H-01 /> Later in 1991, the name was changed to Total, when it became a public company listed on the [[New York Stock Exchange]]. In 1991, the French government held more than 30 percent of the company's stock but by 1996 had reduced its stake to less than 1 percent.<ref name=TOT-H-01/><ref>{{Cite web |title=Chapter 2 |url=http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/pgem/ch2b.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100615181829/http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/pgem/ch2b.html |archive-date=15 June 2010 |access-date=8 December 2011 |publisher=Eia.doe.gov}}</ref> In the period between 1990 and 1994, foreign ownership of the firm increased from 23 percent to 44 percent.

Total continued to expand its retail presence in North America under several brand names. In 1989, [[Denver, Colorado]]–based Total Petroleum, Total CFP's North American unit, purchased 125 Road Runner retail locations from [[Texarkana, Texas]]–based Truman Arnold Companies.<ref name="rrstores">{{Cite web |title=About Road Runner |url=http://www.roadrunnerstores.com/about/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150516162858/http://www.roadrunnerstores.com/about/ |archive-date=16 May 2015 |access-date=23 September 2015 |publisher=Road Runner Stores}}</ref> By 1993, Total Petroleum was operating 2,600 retail stores under the Vickers, [[APCO Oil Corporation|Apco]], Road Runner, and Total brands.

Total's leadership had been aware of the deleterious effects of [[global warming]] since at least 1971; The company nevertheless openly denied the findings of climate science until the 1990s; Total also pursued a number of strategies to cover up the threat and contribution to [[climate change]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Bonneuil |first1=Christophe |last2=Choquet |first2=Pierre-Louis |last3=Franta |first3=Benjamin |date=1 November 2021 |title=Early warnings and emerging accountability: Total's responses to global warming, 1971–2021 |journal=Global Environmental Change |language=en |volume=71 |article-number=102386 |doi=10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2021.102386 |s2cid=239563490 |issn=0959-3780|doi-access=free |bibcode=2021GEC....7102386B }}</ref>

In 2006, Saudi Aramco and Total signed a [[memorandum of understanding]] to develop the Jubail Refinery and Petrochemical project in Saudi Arabia which targeted 400,000 barrels per day (bpd).

=== TotalEnergies Italia ===
'''Total Italia S.p.A.''' (originally '''Total Italia S.r.l.''') is an Italian [[company]] that operates in the [[Distribution (marketing)|distribution]] of [[Engine oil|lubricants]]. It is a [[Subsidiary company|subsidiary]] of TotalEnergies SE.

It was founded in 2018 by the split of the ''Special Fluids'' [[Division (business)|branch]] from [[TotalErg]] in view of the [[Acquisition (contract law)|acquisition]] by [[Gruppo API]]. It takes its name from the old [[Total Italia]], dissolved in 2010 with the birth of TotalErg.

==Operations==
In May 2014, the company shelved its Joslyn North [[oil sands]] project in the [[Athabasca oil sands|Athabasca region]] of [[Alberta]], Canada, indefinitely, citing concerns about operating costs. An estimated $11 billion has been spent on the project, in which Total is the largest shareholder with 38.5%. [[Suncor Energy]] holds 36.75%, [[Occidental Petroleum]] owns 15% and [[Japan]]'s [[Inpex]] has a 10% interest.<ref name="TotalJoslyn">{{Cite news |title=Cost escalation leads Total to put Joslyn oil sands project on hold |work=[[Edmonton Journal]] |url=https://edmontonjournal.com/business/layoff+talk+swirls+Total+update+Joslyn+oilsands+status/9888984/story.html |access-date=14 June 2014 |archive-date=5 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140605062522/http://www.edmontonjournal.com/business/layoff+talk+swirls+Total+update+Joslyn+oilsands+status/9888984/story.html }}</ref>

IPC offered financial support to raise an armed force that would assist the Sultan in occupying the interior region of Oman, an area that geologists believed to be rich in oil. This led to the 1954 outbreak of [[Jebel Akhdar War]] in Oman that lasted for more than 5 years.<ref name="OmansInsurgencies">{{Cite book |last=Peterson |first=J.

In 2001, Total signed a contract for oil-reconnaissance in areas offshore [[Western Sahara]] (near [[Dakhla, Western Sahara|Dakhla]]), with the Moroccan "Office National de Recherches et d'Exploitations Petrolières" (ONAREP). In 2002, [[Hans Corell]] (the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs) stated in a letter to the president of the [[Security Council]] that whenever the contracts are only for exploration they're not illegal, but if further exploration or exploitation are against the interests and wishes of the people of Western Sahara, they would be in violation of the principles of international law.<ref>{{Cite web |date=12 February 2002 |title=Letter dated 29&nbsp;January&nbsp;2002 from the Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs, the Legal Counsel, addressed to the President of the Security Council |url=http://www.undemocracy.com/S-2002-161.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101207092431/http://www.undemocracy.com/S-2002-161.pdf |archive-date=7 December 2010 |access-date=6 September 2010 |publisher=UN}}</ref>

===Energy Deal with ADNOC===
In a move to cope with the [[2021–2022 global energy crisis]], which started with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and aggravated with Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, France's TotalEnergies and UAE's [[Abu Dhabi National Oil Company|ADNOC]] signed a strategic deal to partner on energy projects "for cooperation in the area of energy supplies".

The deal was secured on the second day of the UAE leader Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan's visit to Paris in 2022. The visit marked the UAE president's first overseas state visit since assuming the post earlier that year.

The deal was aimed at identifying and targeting potential joint investment projects in the UAE, France, and elsewhere in the sectors of renewables, hydrogen, and nuclear energy, as told by the French government in one of its statements. According to French President Emmanuel Macron's aides, France had been eager to secure diesel supply from the UAE.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.france24.com/en/france/20220718-energy-deals-top-agenda-as-uae-president-meets-macron-in-paris|title=France, UAE sign strategic deal to partner on energy projects|access-date=18 July 2022|website=France24|date=18 July 2022 }}</ref>

The deal also received criticism from human rights groups that pressured Macron not to give the then "crown prince a pass on the UAE's atrocious human rights record", per the statement published by Human Rights Watch on its website.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/07/15/frances-energy-plans-should-not-include-ignoring-uae-abuses|title=France's Energy Plans Should Not Include Ignoring UAE Abuses|access-date=15 July 2022|website=Human Rights Watch|date=15 July 2022 }}</ref>

==Controversies==

=== Environmental and safety records ===
In 1999, the Total SA company was fined €375,000 for the [[MV Erika]] oil spill that stretched 400 kilometers from [[La Rochelle]] to the western tip of [[Brittany]]. The company was only fined that amount because they were only partially liable because Total SA did not own the ship. The plaintiffs had sought more than $1.5 billion in damages. More than 100 groups and local governments joined in the suit. The Total company was fined just over $298,000. The majority of the money will go to the French government, several environmental groups, and various regional governments. The Total SA company was also fined $550,000 for the amount of marine pollution that came from it. After the oil spill they tried to restore their image and have opened a sea turtle conservation project in [[Masirah]] in recent years.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}}

Prior to the verdict in which Total was found guilty one of the counterparts in the incident, Malta Maritime Authority (MMA), was not to be tried for having any hand in the incident. In 2005, Total submitted a report to the Paris courts which stated that Total had gathered a group of experts which stated the tanker was corroded and that Total was responsible for it. The courts sought a second expert reviewing this information, which was turned down.<ref>{{Cite web |date=23 February 2005 |title=The Malta Financial&Business Times |url=http://www.businesstoday.com.mt/2005/02/23/l1.html |access-date=4 November 2015 |website=Businesstoday.com.mt}}</ref>

In 2001, the [[AZF (factory)|AZF]] chemical plant exploded in [[Toulouse]], France, while belonging to the Grande Paroisse branch of Total.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}

In 2008, Total was required to pay €192 million in compensation to victims of the pollution caused by the sinking of the ship MV Erika. This was in addition to the €200 million that Total spent to help clean up the spill. The company appealed twice against the verdict, losing both times.

In 2016, Total was ranked as the second-best of 92 oil, gas, and mining companies on indigenous rights in the Arctic.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Overland |first=Indra |date=2016 |title=Ranking Oil, Gas and Mining Companies on Indigenous Rights in the Arctic |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/313474088 |access-date=2 August 2018 |website=ResearchGate |publisher=Arran}}</ref> According to the CDP Carbon Majors Report 2017, the company was one of the top 100 companies producing [[Greenhouse gas emissions|carbon emissions]] globally, responsible for .9% of global emissions from 1998 to 2015.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|url=https://b8f65cb373b1b7b15feb-c70d8ead6ced550b4d987d7c03fcdd1d.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/cms/reports/documents/000/002/327/original/Carbon-Majors-Report-2017.pdf|title=The Carbon Majors Database CDP Carbon Majors Report 2017|publisher=CDP and Climate Accountability Institute|year=2017|access-date=9 April 2021|archive-date=4 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211204043912/https://b8f65cb373b1b7b15feb-c70d8ead6ced550b4d987d7c03fcdd1d.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/cms/reports/documents/000/002/327/original/Carbon-Majors-Report-2017.pdf}}</ref> In 2021, Total was ranked as the 2nd most environmentally responsible company out of 120 oil, gas, and mining companies involved in resource extraction north of the Arctic Circle in the Arctic Environmental Responsibility Index (AERI).<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Overland |first1=Indra |last2=Bourmistrov |first2=Anatoli |last3=Dale |first3=Brigt |last4=Irlbacher-Fox |first4=Stephanie |last5=Juraev |first5=Javlon |last6=Podgaiskii |first6=Eduard |last7=Stammler |first7=Florian |last8=Tsani |first8=Stella |last9=Vakulchuk |first9=Roman |last10=Wilson |first10=Emma C. |title=The Arctic Environmental Responsibility Index: A method to rank heterogenous extractive industry companies for governance purposes |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bse.2698 |journal=Business Strategy and the Environment |year=2021 |language=en |volume=30 |issue=4 |pages=1623–1643 |doi=10.1002/bse.2698 |hdl=11250/2832230 |s2cid=233618866 |issn=0964-4733|url-access=subscription |doi-access=free }}</ref>

According to a 2021 study, Total personnel were aware about the role that their products played in global warming as early as 1971, as well as throughout the 1980s. Despite this awareness, the company promoted doubt regarding the science of global warming by the late 1980s, and ultimately settled on a position in the late 1990s of publicly accepting climate science, while still promoting doubt and trying to delay climate action.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Bonneuil|first1=Christophe|last2=Choquet|first2=Pierre-Louis|last3=Franta|first3=Benjamin|date=2021|title=Early warnings and emerging accountability: Total's responses to global warming, 1971–2021|journal=Global Environmental Change|volume=71|article-number=102386|language=en|doi=10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2021.102386|s2cid=239563490|issn=0959-3780|doi-access=free|bibcode=2021GEC....7102386B }}</ref> In August 2024, South Africa's advertising regulator ruled that TotalEnergies' promotion of sustainability in an advertising campaign in the country was misleading.

=== Bribery ===
Total has been accused of bribery on multiple occasions.

Total is being implicated in a bribe commission scandal which is currently{{when|date=October 2014}} emerging in [[Malta]]. It has emerged that Total had told Maltese agents that it would not be interested in doing business with them unless their team included George Farrugia, who is under investigation in the procurement scandal. George Farrugia has recently been given a presidential pardon in exchange for information about this scandal. [[Enemalta]], Malta's energy supplier, swiftly barred Total and its agents, Trafigura from bidding and tenders. An investigation is currently underway and three people have been arraigned.<ref>{{cite magazine | url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/12/21/murder-in-malta | title=Murder in Malta | magazine=[[The New Yorker]] | date=11 December 2020 }}</ref>{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}

On 16 December 2008, the managing director of the Italian division of Total, Lionel Levha, and ten other executives were arrested by the public Prosecutor's office of [[Potenza, Italy]], for a corruption charge of €15 million to undertake the oilfield in [[Basilicata]] on contract. Also arrested was the local deputy of [[Partito Democratico]] Salvatore Margiotta and an Italian entrepreneur.<ref name="ilgiornale">{{Cite news |date=16 December 2008 |title=Tangenti per il petrolio in Basilicata: arrestati l'ad Total e un deputato del Pd |language=it |work=il Giornale |url=http://www.ilgiornale.it/a.pic1?ID=314822 |access-date=16 December 2008}}</ref><ref name="la7">{{Cite news |date=16 December 2008 |title=Tangenti, arrrestato l'amministratore delegato di Total Italia |language=it |website=[[La7]] |url=http://www.la7.it/news/dettaglio_video.asp?id_video=20377&cat=cronaca |access-date=16 December 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217143137/http://www.la7.it/news/dettaglio_video.asp?id_video=20377&cat=cronaca |archive-date=17 December 2008}}</ref>

In 2010, Total was accused of bribing Iraqi officials during former president Saddam Hussein's regime to secure oil supplies. A United Nations report later revealed that Iraqi officials had received bribes from oil companies to secure contracts worth over $10bn.<ref>{{Cite news |date=7 April 2010 |title=Total faces corruption investigation |url=http://www.newstatesman.com/energy-and-clean-tech/2010/04/corruption-charges-oil-iraq |access-date=8 April 2010}}</ref> On 26 February 2016, the [[Court of Appeal of Paris|Paris Court of Appeals]] considered Total guilty and ordered the company to pay a fine of €750,000 for corrupting Iraqi civil servants. The court's ruling overturns an earlier acquittal in the case.

In 2013, a case was settled that concerned charges that Total bribed an Iranian official with $60 million, which they documented as a "consulting charge," and which unfairly gave them access to Iran's Sirri A and Sirri E oil and gas fields. The bribery gave them a competitive advantage, earning them an estimated $150 million in profits. The Securities Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice settled the charges, expecting Total to pay $398 million.<ref>{{Cite web |date=30 May 2013 |title=Total to Pay $398 Million for Corrupt Practices |url=http://www.jdjournal.com/2013/05/30/total-to-pay-398-million-for-corrupt-practices/ |access-date=4 November 2015 |work=JD Journal}}</ref>

=== 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine ===
Following the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]] which began on 24 February, many international, particularly Western companies pulled out of Russia.

Similarly in August 2022, an investigation by [[Global Witness]] showed that a Siberian gas field part-owned by TotalEnergies has been supplying a refinery, which is producing jet fuel for Russian warplanes.

In December 2022, the NGOs Friends of the Earth, Survie and four Ugandan NGOs sent the oil group Total to court and accused it of violating the law on the duty of vigilance of large French companies in terms of human rights and environment.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2022/12/07/totalenergies-de-nouveau-face-a-la-justice-pour-son-megaprojet-en-ouganda_6153413_3212.html | title=TotalEnergies de nouveau face à la justice pour son mégaprojet d'exploitation pétrolière en Ouganda | newspaper=Le Monde.fr | date=7 December 2022 }}</ref> The Tilenga Project, which TotalEnergies is undertaking in conjunction with [[China National Offshore Oil Corporation]] consists of drilling for oil in the [[Murchison Falls National Park]], a habitat for diverse species of birds and animals.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Uganda oil project casts shadow over Total's eco-friendly image|first= Dorothée |last=Moisan|newspaper=The Guardian|date=19 April 2022|url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/19/uganda-oil-project-casts-shadow-over-totals-eco-friendly-image}}</ref> The project also involves building a pipeline from the site in land-locked Uganda to Tanga in Tanzania.
