Shale oil and gas are now a priority for Total SA (TOT) as it
seeks to boost its reserves, Chief Executive Christophe de Margerie
said Wednesday.
Less conventional resources like shale oil and gas are an option
for international majors like Total as they fight for access to
reserves even as national oil companies shore up their domination
of much of the world's conventional reserves.
