BP initiated gas flow at the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) Phase 1 LNG project. This major offshore development is located at the Mauritania and Senegal maritime border. The project will produce 2.3 million tonnes of LNG annually. This project boosts local economies and global energy supply. BP advances energy development in the region.
Gas Extraction and Transportation Process Detailed
The GTA project extracts gas from offshore wells at depths up to 2,850 meters. A Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel processes the gas. The FPSO removes impurities. Pipelines transport the gas to a Floating LNG (FLNG) facility. The FLNG facility liquefies the gas for storage and export. The gas field will last 30 years. BP holds a 56% working interest. Partners include Kosmos Energy, PETROSEN, and SMH.
Economic Growth and Low-Cost LNG Production
The GTA project drives regional economic growth. Over 3,000 local jobs were created during construction. 300 local companies contributed. BP’s Gordon Birrell highlighted the first gas flow. BP meets global energy demands. They also support Mauritania and Senegal’s economic development. The GTA project will produce low-cost LNG. This supports BP’s sustainable energy goals.
LNG Production and Shipments Scheduled for 2025
The FPSO processes over 500 million standard cubic feet of gas per day. Golar LNG operates the FLNG facility. First LNG production is projected for early 2025. Initial shipments are scheduled for Q1 2025. This launch marks revenue generation. The GTA project plays a key role in the energy market. SuperMetalPrice reports that this project is a major step in the regions energy infrastructure development.
