South Africa: The Next Hot Spot For Offshore Oil Exploration. South Africa’s land is known for its resources such as platinum, gold, diamonds, copper and coal. But its waters may be hiding future giant oil and gas discoveries potentially capable of changing the country’s power generation mix by reducing its use of coal. A failed exploration campaign in shallow waters has meant a gas-to-liquids refinery at Mossel Bay runs well below capacity. Total’s discovery is a “catalytic find” for the country, said Niall Offshore Oil and Gas Exploration has indicated that South Africa’s coast and adjoining waters have possible resources of approximately nine billion barrels of oil. This is equivalent to 40 years of South African oil consumption. Logistically speaking, South Africa stands to benefit from the discovery of substantial offshore gas reserves off Mozambique, where industry heavyweights Eni, ExxonMobil and Anadarko are involved in projects to construct processing facilities in order to exploit these reserves. If current interest and sentiment is anything to go by, South Africa will shortly be following suit in establishing this kind of offshore oil and gas infrastructure. Many South African politicians, economists and specialists in the energy sector are celebrating the news that a promising show of natural gas has been discovered in deep water south of Mossel Bay. It was found in an offshore prospecting area called Brulpadda (Afrikaans for bullfrog), which is licensed to global energy giant Total. In addition, oil and gas companies have to pay a royalty of approximately 5% on all gross sales of all oil or gas produced in South Africa. Also, it is common internationally for the state to be entitled to participate directly in any production operation through partnership with the producer. “The extent of the state’s entitlement will be determined by the licensing terms and the new legislation,” says Gregory Nott, director of the law firm Norton Rose Fulbright.
