The BP-operated Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) floating LNG project in Senegal and Mauritania exported its first LNG cargo, as British Sponsor LNG ship has fully loaded the cargo at the project’s terminal.
Earlier, the project’s partner Kosmos Energy has remarked that the project’s partnership is now working “collaboratively to prioritize both the low-cost brownfield expansion of the development to fully utilize the existing infrastructure, and future cost optimization for the first phase of GTA with the near-term focus on the re-financing of the FPSO leaseback arrangement.”
The GTA LNG project achieved first LNG production during the fourth quarter of 2024, establishing a new LNG production hub in the Atlantic basin.
The 2.5 MMT/Y Gimi FLNG to be utilized for the FLNG export project for 20 years under a Lease and Operate Agreement (LOA) between Golar LNG and BP.
The GTA Phase 1 project will produce gas from reservoirs in deepwater, approximately 120-Km offshore, through a subsea system to the FPSO unit, which will initially process the gas, removing heavier hydrocarbon components, BP has said, adding that the gas will then be transported by pipeline to the Gimi FLNG vessel.
Black & Veatch provides design, procurement, and commissioning support services for the project's topsides, as well as the liquefaction process.
BP has said that GTA construction activities have generated more than 3,000 local jobs, and the project has engaged with around 300 local companies across Mauritania and Senegal.
