LNG: Tortue LNG Project Expecting First Cargo at Beginning of 2025

Nov-06 11:23

BP Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project, located offshore Senegal and Mauritania, is expecting the first cargo at the “beginning of next year,” according to Deputy Energy Minister Cheikh Niane cited by Bloomberg.

  • The project is “on track” and the first gas extraction is expected this year.
  • The project was initially scheduled to come online last year but had been delayed several times, partly due to pipeline construction issues.
  • President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has vowed to review all oil and gas contracts to potentially get better terms for Senegal.
  • A final investment decision is expected by next year for Yakaar-Teranga, which is solely owned by Senegal, according to the deputy minister.  Kosmos Energy is working to find a partner for the project.
