"The discovery is very encouraging and demonstrates that our strategy to grow in this very prospective region is on the right track," Total executive Arnaud Breuillac said in a statement.

Three tests were carried out on the wells and they were found to have flow rates between 3,200 and 3,900 barrels per day, while other tests established the presence of gas with flow rates of 20 to 30 millions cubic feet of gas per day.
