What ever happened to the natural gas find off our coast a few years back, anyone know?

The gas discoveries off South Africa’s coast could be ‘game changers’

Following the Brulpadda gas discovery announced in February 2019, the recent Luiperd gas discovery, made off the south coast of Mossel Bay, has been widely reported and celebrated in the local upstream oil and gas industry.

However, energy demand in the country has been growing at a much faster rate than can be supplied.

This has necessitated a development of the country’s energy pool and capacity, and if the early estimates of the recent Brulpadda and Luiperd discoveries are accurate, the gas produced from Brulpadda and Luiperd would be sufficient to meet more than half of the country’s current energy demands.

I guess Total (are they called Direct Energies now?) and the cANCer are still deciding on the bribe?

The greenies torpedoed that with court interdicts. It is still on appeal.

Heavy greenies need to be removed from the grid.

Many already are, only the dark greenies though. The light greenies are away at a Greta conference.

I know a mine who also use a gas turbine diesel, they need to service those engines very regularly.

High risk of load-shedding.

Mydorpie.com have been right before, but I think sometimes they just say that to cover their asss.

Won't be posting more.

You mean like Ted Bloom?
Looks unit 2 of Koeberg is slowly ramping up, Monday just over 1GW from Nuclear. Normally 800 to 900MW
