A very large discovery off the southern coast of South African by the French oil company, Total, was recently announced. Oil companies typically give exploration prospects or wells interesting code names. This well was named Brulpadda, which is Afrikan for Bullfrog.

The Brulpadda find, estimated at about 1 billion barrels by Total Chief Executive Officer Patrick Pouyanne, could be enough to supply South Africa’s refineries for almost four years. That’s a boon for a country that has always been short of oil and is running out of its scant domestic supply of gas.
“It is really transformational,’’ Andrew Latham, vice president of global exploration at consultant Wood MacKenzie Ltd., said Thursday. “This could be a discovery that kickstarts a bit of a gas strategy for South Africa.’’
