Brulpadda, Luiperd wells: Price a sticky issue as TotalEnergies, PetroSA talks drag on

TotalEnergies is continuing its search for off-takers of gas that could be produced off the coast of Mossel Bay, but state-owned PetroSA finds itself sidelined if it is unable to come to terms with the oil and gas major on the especially sticky matter of price.

The multinational oil and gas major announced major gas condensate discoveries from the Brulpadda and Luiperd offshore wells in 2019 and 2020 respectively, which have been described as a potential "game changer" for SA's economy.
