The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project will produce gas from an ultra-deepwater subsea system and mid-water FPSO, which will process the gas, removing heavier hydrocarbon components. The gas will then be transferred to an FLNG facility at a nearshore hub located on the Mauritania and Senegal maritime border.

DALLAS – BP and its partners have signed a sale and purchase agreement (SPA) for the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim gas-condensate development offshore Mauritania and Senegal.
According to one of the partners, Kosmos Energy, BP Gas Marketing will take 2.45 MM metric tons/yr of LNG from Phase 1 of the project for an initial term of up to 20 years.
Todd Niebruegge, Kosmos’ senior vice president and head of the company’s Mauritania-Senegal business unit, said: “With the signing of this agreement, we have materially increased the proved reserve base of the company and the project remains on track to deliver first gas in the first half of 2022.”
Other partners in the cross-border project are state oil companies SMHPM and Petrosen.
