COUNTRY SPOTLIGHT: South Africa - Maximising Natural Resources to Support Sustainable Economic Development

Since 2019, Total Energies’ discoveries in the Outeniqua Basin has positioned South Africa as a new exploration frontier and redrew the cards of the country’s energy security scenario. Newly found reserves can support decarbonization and industrialization at home, while encouraging additional exploration in frontier basins to the West (Orange Basin) and to the East (South Outeniqua). Meanwhile, onshore exploration and development is picking up: South Africa became an LNG producer in 2022 and is witnessing growing exploration for shallow conventional and coal-bed methane (CBM) gas.

What are the prospects for additional exploration in South Africa amidst growing ESG opposition and concerns?
How can policy address current bottlenecks and help unlock investments and value from the country’s oil & gas sector?
What is the future of gas within South Africa’s energy mix (industry, transport, power)?
What is South Africa’s main infrastructure requirements to successfully monetise domestic gas?
What is the role of South African agencies and national companies in supporting the country’soil & gas ambitions?
