Senegal and Mauritania announce first gas from bp's Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project

1/2/2025

The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) gas project developed by bp and partners has produced its first gas from an offshore field in Senegal and Mauritania, the two countries' energy ministries said.

GTA, a floating facility straddling the maritime border between Senegal and Mauritania, will produce 2.3 MMtpy of LNG in its first phase.

"The opening of the first well ... paves the way for the start of gas commercialization, which is set to begin very soon," the ministries said in a statement on Tuesday.

bp and U.S.-listed Kosmo Energy are leading the development of GTA, which is Senegal's first LNG project.
