PARIS--Total SA Tuesday said it has made a $207 million investment in Tellurian Investments Inc. to develop an integrated gas project.

The French oil major said it is acquiring approximately 23% of Tellurian--a private company founded in 2016 and based in Houston, Texas--at $5.85 per share.

"Investing in Tellurian at an early stage will give us the opportunity to potentially strengthen our mid and long term [liquefied natural gas ] portfolio thanks to a very cost competitive project," said Philippe Sauquet, Total's president of gas, renewables and power.
