BP has initiated flowing gas from wells at the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) Phase 1 LNG project offshore Mauritania and Senegal, according to a Jan. 2 press release.
GTA is one of Africa’s deepest offshore developments with gas resources in water depths of up to 2,850 m. Once fully commissioned, Phase 1 of the project is expected to produce approximately 2.3 MMtonne of LNG annually.
The gas will be used at its FPSO for its next stage of commissioning, where it will be cryogenically cooled, liquified and stored before being transported for export, BP said. The FPSO is designed to process over 500 MMcf/d of gas.
Some gas will also be allocated throughout Mauritania and Senegal to “help meet growing energy demand in the two host countries,” BP said.
BP is operator of GTA with 56% working interest, alongside Kosmos Energy with a 27% stake, PETROSEN with 10% and SMH with 7%.
