The Ibhubesi project lies on Block 2A, about 105km off the coast of the Northern Cape Province, offshore Orange Basin.
The deal is likely to include a subsea gathering system, offshore processing facility, a 400km subsea pipeline and an onshore plant, with the field’s proven and probable reserves estimated at 15.2bn cubic metres.
