ALMATY, Kazakhstan -(Dow Jones)- French oil giant
Total SA (TOT) said Wednesday it started talks with
Kazakhstan's state oil and gas company KazMunaiGaz
(R.KMGZ) on the joint development of oil fields in the
Caspian Sea, Kazakhstan Today news agency reported.
"We are looking closely at the possibility of
developing reserves in the Kazakh sector of the
Caspian Sea and plan to use all opportunities to enter
into new Caspian projects," the agency quoted Total's
general director Pascal Laluel as saying.

By the end of this year Kazakhstan's government plans
to sell licenses for up to 200 exploration blocks in
the Kazakh part of the Caspian Sea and KazMunaiGaz has
been granted a 50% stake in every new oil project.
Total is already involved in one of the largest
Caspian projects, Kashagan, where it increased its
stake to 20.37% from 16.67% recently through a
transaction with BG Group Plc (BRG).
