TotalEnergies SE has quit its gas-condensate discoveries off the tip of South Africa, in a blow to a country that's planning to use more of the fuel for power production. The company exited the Brulpadda and Luiperd finds because "it appeared to be too challenging to economically develop and monetize these gas discoveries for the South African market," TotalEnergies said in a statement on Monday. Bloomberg reported earlier this month that TotalEnergies planned to leave because the discoveries couldn't be made commercially viable.
