The BP-operated Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) floating LNG project in Senegal and Mauritania has achieved Commercial Operations Date (COD) in June, with production is now at a level equivalent to the contracted volume of approximately 2.45 MMT/Y.
The BP-operated Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) floating LNG project in Senegal and Mauritania has achieved Commercial Operations Date (COD) in June, with production is now at a level equivalent to the contracted volume of approximately 2.45 MMT/Y, the project’s partner Kosmos Energy said, adding that the project’s partnership push GTA towards the Gimi FLNG vessel's 2.7 MMT/Y nameplate capacity and bring on more wells at Jubilee and Winterfell.
According to the
Global LNG Database®, the Gimi FLNG is utilized at the GTA export project under a 20 years Lease and Operate Agreement (LOA) between Golar LNG and the project’s operator BP.
British Sponsor ship loaded the GTA project's first cargo in April 2025 and Kosmos expects to export 20 LNG cargo from the project with production expected to increase towards the Gimi FLNG unit’s nameplate capacity in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The partnership is now focusing on future expansion phases of the project via “a low-cost brownfield expansion” which is expected to double gas throughput by leveraging the existing infrastructure in place. “We expect future expansion phases to further reduce operating costs.”
The GTA Phase 1 project is producing gas from reservoirs in deep-water, approximately 120-Km offshore, through a subsea system to a FPSO unit, which process the gas, removing heavier hydrocarbon components, before transporting the gas to the Gimi FLNG by pipeline.
Black & Veatch provides design, procurement, and commissioning support services for the project's topsides, as well as the liquefaction process.
