The 20 Leading Companies in the Natural Gas
Market 2013: Competitive Landscape Analysis
As Table 4.28 and Figure 4.13 shows, capital expenditure of Total in 2012 had a greater emphasis
in Africa than anywhere else. Meanwhile, France and the rest of Europe were the most important
sources of revenue for Total in 2012.
Figure 4.14 illustrates that Asia and the Middle East hold the largest reserves of gas for future
production for Total S.A.

The 20 Leading Companies in the Natural Gas
Market 2013: Competitive Landscape Analysis
BG Group is involved in Tanzania’s gas development having discovered 10tcf. BG Group also
gained access to new exploration licences in Egypt, India, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay, and
was continuing its drilling operations off the coast of Brazil. BG Group is expecting to drill in Kenya
in 2014 and Uruguay in 2016.
BG Group is slated to have 15 FPSOs in operation in Brazil by 2018 with an anticipated output of
2.1mmboe/d and gas processing capacity of 3.0bcf/d. As Figure 4.30 shows, since 2008 the
expansion in US gas production has offset the fall in UK, Egypt and Indian gas production.
A breakdown of volumes of production on a country by country basis is provided in Figure 4.30.

4.19.1 Anadarko Petroleum in the Global Gas Market
Anadarko Petroleum is a growing oil and gas producing company. One of the most notable gas
discoveries of the company is the giant gas fields off the coast of Mozambique. The recoverable
gas reserves in the Rovuma basin are estimated to be between 35-65tcf (1.0tcm-1.82tcm). Further
gas discoveries were made in Mid-2012 with Golfinho and Atum gas fields holding around 30tcf
(850bcm). Anadarko has a 36.5% stake in these field developments. The most economic way of
monetising gas discoveries off the coast of Mozambique is thought to be by building an LNG
liquefaction terminal to export the gas to high gas demand regions of the world. Hence, the Palma
LNG project is a concept that Anadarko, along with its partners Empresa Nacional de
Hidrocarbonetos (ENH), Mitsui and Cove Energy, are considering to build. The first phase of this
project will provide a 5.0mtpa LNG liquefaction capacity, costing around $4.0bn. Anadarko also
has exploration concessions in Ghana, Brazil, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Cote d’Ivoire, New
Zealand, Indonesia, and other countries. In 2013 the mid-stream gas businesses of the company
