MOSSEL BAY NEWS - A public participation process for the environmental application by Total South Africa and other shareholders for the proposed Brulpadda oil and gas project will be held in the town hall in Mossel Bay on 17 January. 

The meetings will take place from 10:00 until 12:00 and from 17:00 until 19:00 and residents can attend either the morning or the evening meeting.

Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting. The Luiperd-Brulpadda project involves the development of the Luiperd and Brulpadda gas condensate fields located on Block 11B/12B in the Outeniqua Basin, 175km offshore.

The Brulpadda field was discovered with a large volume of gas condensate in February 2019. The Luiperd-1X discovery well was spud to a total depth of about 3 400m with the Deepsea Stavanger rig in 1 800m of water in August 2020. Spud refers to the early stages of drilling when rock, dirt, and other sedimentary materials are removed with a drill bit. First, a larger bit is used to form the well, and then a second bit is put in place to do the main drilling.
