| Description | The bulk of this series is comprised of the papers of various committees. There is also a substantial amount of legal and financial documentation and a very small number of dossiers and manuals.
Several of the committees have near-complete runs of minutes (if not the subsidiary documentation) for a substantial length of time. Those least likely to be as complete or run for as long are the committees that dealt predominantly with the Norwegian interests.
None of the committees is comprised solely of Total employees. As well as the British and Norwegian offices of Total, representatives from the following organisations are/were invited to the meetings: Elf (UK and Norwegian), Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, Norsk Hydro, Statoil, Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, Department of Energy (and successors) and Mobil. |
| Appraisal | Where multiple copies of minutes bearing the same date are available, there are key differences such as annotations and inserts. |
| Accruals | Some possible. Although some the committees have been dissolved, the creators have retained some of the papers and these may be deposited at a later date. |
