Total's announcement of discovering large natural gas and gas condensate at the Absheron field in Azerbaijan is great news for Total, for Azerbaijan, and for the Southern Corridor, which will help Europe to diversify its supplies of natural gas, U.S. ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza told Trend.

"This discovery again confirms Azerbaijan’s potential as a significant supplier of natural gas to Europe," Bryza, who earlier coordinated U.S. energy policy in the Black and Caspian Sea regions, said.

"The United States looks forward to continuing our work with Azerbaijan and the countries and companies developing the Southern Corridor," he added. "We hope that the Southern Corridor will lead the way for future projects that will strengthen prosperity and stability throughout the entire South Caucasus."
