PARIS/LONDON, Oct 28 (Reuters) - French oil major Total TOTF.PA has made a second significant gas condensate discovery off the coast of South Africa, an important step towards developing a new field.
The discovery in the Outeniqua Basin, 175 km offshore, follows Total's discovery of a large resource in an adjacent area last year.
The latest discovery in the Luiperd prospects was made in a block that covers an area of 19,000 sq km, with water depths of 200-1,800 metres.
The block is operated by Total with a 45% working interest, alongside Qatar Petroleum (25%), Canadian Natural Resources CNQ.TO (20%) and South African consortium Main Street (10%), in which Africa Energy AFE.V is a partner.
