PERTH, Australia — The Léopold Sédar Senghor FPSO facility has arrived offshore Senegal.
Woodside Energy CEO Meg O’Neill said the milestone marked an important step on the road to first production from the Sangomar Field, which is targeted for mid-2024.
The arrival of the FPSO from Singapore at its final destination about 100 km offshore Dakar, Senegal, marks the beginning of the next phase of the project: commissioning the FPSO and hooking up the 23 production, gas and water injection wells that make up Phase 1 of the Sangomar Field development.
This is Senegal’s first offshore oil project.
O’Neill said, “The completion of this phase of the project is only possible through strong partnerships with the Senegalese government, joint venture participant PETROSEN, and our contracting partners, all of whom have worked professionally and cooperatively since the final investment decision in January 2020.”
Phase 1 of the Sangomar Field development includes a standalone FPSO with subsea infrastructure and an expected production capacity of about 100,000 bbl/d.
