RE:Orange Basin Test 14 K bbl day (max test amount capacity)The difference could be:
Perhaps Total wants to acquire more blocks in the Orange Basin and does not want to tell competitors or even retail the hughe, massive hydrocarbon potential there to keep prices low.
Perhaps Galp/Sintana want to sell their Orange Basin assets, at least partially . So they are much faster to tell the whole world what monster they found. This Galp/Sintana discovery with 10 billion barrels of oil in place could be the biggest discovery since 2000 when Kasachstan discovered their 13 billion barrel oil field.
