Talisman Energy's Sudan Project Being Eyed by European Rivals Calgary, Alberta, Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Talisman Energy Inc.'s controversial Sudanese project is being eyed by several European companies which are ready to take it over if the Calgary, Alberta-based producer drops its oil project due to political pressures, the National Post reported. Elf Aquitaine SA and TotalFina SA of France and ENI SpA of Italy are interested in the C$800 million (US$547 million) oil project, the newspaper said, citing analysts. Anglo-Dutch/Royal Dutch/Shell Group is also believed to be looking for investment opportunities in Khartoum. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy said last month that Canadian companies shouldn't support countries that abuse human rights, and claimed slave trading occurs in Sudan.
