Senegal discovers 10 bncm
Senegal's state company PETROSEN has discovered natural gas reserves estimated at 10 billion cubic metres in the region of Thies, 70 km (45 miles) from the Senegalese capital. A PETROSEN official said the new field would cover Senegal's needs in natural gas for 30 years. In the same region, a gas field with reserves estimated at 500 million cubic metres was found in 1993.
