Dec 17 (LNGJ) - Golar LNG, the fleet owner and project developer, said it was advancing with a contract awarded by the Mauritania-Senegal joint venture partners, BP of the UK and Kosmos Energy of the US, for the provision of a floating liquefaction vessel to serve the Greater Tortue and Ahmeyim gas fields offshore West Africa. Golar said it had received a limited notice to proceed, furthering its previous preliminary agreement and heads of terms for the charter first announced in April 2018. The vessel conversion would take place at Keppel Shipyard after the Singapore yard’s delivery of FLNG hull, “Hilli Episeyo”, using liquefaction technology from Black and Veatch Corp. of the US. “Discussions regarding a minority investment in the vessel are also being progressed,” said Golar.
