The Company was founded in 2010.[4] It began operations when, on 21 February 2012, Tullow Oil completed a farm down of two thirds of its interests to Total S.A. and CNOOC for US$2.9 billion.[5] TEPU, along with partners CNOOC and Tullow, continues to work with the Ugandan government on the development plan for Albertine Grabben, which will include an oil refinery in Uganda and an export crude oil pipeline.[6]

Total E&P Uganda is working in Exploration Area 1 (EA-1) and Exploration Area 1A (EA-1A) within the Albertine Region.[7] A significant portion of these areas lie within the confines of Murchison Falls National Park.[2] Total is playing a leading role in coordination the planning and execution of the export crude oil pipeline from Lake Albert to the Indian Ocean coast.[8][9]

In November 2015, following the outbreak of cholera along the eastern shores of Lake Albert, Total E&P Uganda donated an assortment of medical supplies to the districts of Buliisa, Hoima and Masindi, to assist in the fight against the epidemic. The donated items included disposable gowns, gum boots, bottles of antiseptic scrub, disinfectant, Intravenous fluids and disposable gloves.[10]
