HAMILTON, Bermuda – BP has issued a limited notice to proceed to Golar LNG for provision of a floating liquefaction vessel (FLNG) for the Phase 1 Greater Tortue/Ahmeyim field development offshore Mauritania and Senegal. 

This follows a preliminary agreement and heads of terms for a charter agreement with BP in April.

Golar LNG plans a vessel conversion at Keppel Shipyard in Singapore, which was also responsible for the FLNG Hilli Episeyo, incorporating Black and Veatch’s PRICO technology.

Discussions also continue concerning a minority investment in the vessel.
