A South African court has set aside a previous environmental authorisation granted to TotalEnergies and its joint venture partner Shell to explore in Block 5/6/7 off the west coast, a court judgement seen by Reuters showed.
However, the court ordered that TotalEnergies should be given an opportunity to rectify deficiencies identified, including a failure to properly assess the potential socio-economic impacts of any oil spills or taking climate change into consideration.
