Commenting on his time in the UK, Jean-Luc said: “The last five years have been incredibly fulfilling as we built our new business following the merger. Since then, and as a team, we have grown and changed, responded to the climate challenge, contributed to the energy transition and navigated work during a global pandemic. I am very proud of what we have achieved here in the UK, both as TotalEnergies and an industry, and I want to thank our teams for their support and dedication during this time. I offer Nicolas my best wishes and support in his new role, and look forward to seeing how the UK E&P business continues to prosper under his leadership.”re he has been President since 2019.
