Total SA (FP.FR) said Friday that it has agreed to buy a further 10% stake in Brazil's Lapa field from Petroleo Brasileiro S/A (PETR3.BR) for $50 million.

Following the transaction, Total will hold a 45% stake in the oil field, while Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA.LN) will own 30% and Repsol Sinopec the remaining 25%.

French energy company Total also signed an agreement with Brazilian oil major Petrobras to create a joint venture by July 31, 2019. The JV is aimed at developing onshore solar and wind projects with up to 500 megawatts of capacity over the next five years.
