Total SA (FP.FR) said Monday that it made a major gas discovery the Glendronach prospect, located offshore U.K., west of Shetland.

"Preliminary tests confirm good reservoir quality, permeability and well-production deliverability, with recoverable resources estimated at about 1 trillion cubic feet," the company said.

Total said a gas column of 42 meters of net pay was encountered in the well, which was drilled to a final depth of about 4,300 meters.
