Australian oil and gas producer Woodside’s play in Senegal has been validated after that country’s Minister of Energy and the Development of Renewable Energy issued a ministerial order confirming that the ASX-listed company was a participant in the SNE oilfield, offshore Senegal.
Fellow-listed FAR earlier this month made claims that the Senegalese government had not approved a $350-million deal struck between Woodside and ConocoPhillips, which would saw the Australian firm acquire ConocoPhillips interest in Senegal.
