Senegalese oil: Total invited to the table

There was a very interesting meeting yesterday in Paris, between Macky Sall and François Hollande.
The rumour that Total is interested in Senegal now completely confirmed as they now have a Memorandum of Cooperation for the Exploration of the Deep Offshore signed this yesterday at the Élysée.
It does appear that not everyone is happy that the big oil companies are coming as the foot note seams to point. Basically saying that, Total will throw their weight around and that president Macky deceive them?
I also like the point that Senegal is going to respect all the previous agreements with the other oil companies, this means IMO that FAR is safe and if anyone wants what we have, they will have to pay for it. Not a bad Christmas present while waiting for this PE resolution!

Pétrole sénégalais : Total s’invite à la table

L’ancien Premier ministre Manuel Valls, l’ambassadeur de la France au Sénégal, Christophe Bigot, ainsi que les responsables de la multinationale avaient annoncé la couleur : Total était intéressé par les réserves pétrolières sénégalaises, découvertes ou potentielles. Le géant pétrolier vient de trouver la porte d’entrée. Un protocole de coopération pour l’exploration de l’offshore profond a été signé dans ce sens ce matin à l’Élysée, en marge de l’entretien entre les présidents François Hollande et Macky Sall, dans le cadre de la visite d’État en France de ce dernier. Le gouvernement du Sénégal était représenté par le ministre de l’Énergie, Thierno Alassane Sall, et la France, via Total, par son directeur de marketing. Mais malgré l’entrée de Total dans l’exploration du pétrole sénégalais, les accords précédents, signés avec les autres compagnies, restent d’actualité. Macky Sall en a donné l’assurance lors de la conférence de presse conjointe qu’il animait avec François Hollande.

Former Prime Minister Manuel Valls, France's ambassador to Senegal, Christophe Bigot, and officials of the multinational had announced the color: Total was interested in Senegalese oil reserves, discovered or potential.

The oil giant has just found the front door. A Memorandum of Cooperation for the Exploration of the Deep Offshore was signed this morning at the Élysée on the sidelines of the meeting between Presidents François Hollande and Macky Sall during the State Visit in France of the latter.
The government of Senegal was represented by the Minister of Energy, Thierno Alassane Sall, and France, via Total, by its marketing director.
But despite the entry of Total into the exploration of oil in Senegal, the previous agreements, signed with the other companies, remain “as is”. Macky Sall assured at the joint press conference he hosted with François Hollande.
