Total SA (FP.FR) and its partners have approved an expansion of the onshore Dunga oil field in Kazakhstan, the French oil major said Thursday.

As part of the phase-three development project Total and its partners will invest $300 million to increase reserves and boost the processing plant's production capacity by 10% to 20,000 barrels a day.

"This new development phase, combined with the Dunga field license extension, helps unlock 70 million barrels of additional reserves, which represents a significant development for Kazakhstan," Total's President of Exploration and Production Arnaud Breuillac said.

Total is the operator of Dunga with a 60% stake. Oman Oil Company and Partex hold minority stakes.
