Kosmos Energy has confirmed that first LNG production had been achieved at the bp-operated Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) project, offshore Mauritania & Senegal.
On 31st December, 2024, gas from the first phase of GTA started to flow from wells to the FPSO as part of the commissioning process.
The FPSO, processes the gas to remove any condensate, water and impurities ahead of delivery to an FSRU for liquefaction.
Gas has now been delivered to the FSRU and liquefaction has commenced, Kosmos said.
bp has also given notice to the offtaker (bp Gas Marketing) for an LNGC to arrive later this quarter to export the first cargo.
Kosmos Chairman and CEO, Andrew Inglis, said: “First LNG is another major milestone for Kosmos, the GTA partnership and the governments of Mauritania and Senegal.
“We are looking forward to the accelerated ramp-up of LNG production and the first LNG cargo lifting during the first quarter,” he said.
