LNG

Kosmos Energy, the Dallas-based company with LNG interests in the West African nations of Senegal and Mauritania and a specialist company for offshore Atlantic Margins exploration and production, has made a successful start-up of oil production at the Winterfell development in the Green Canyon area of the US Gulf of Mexico.

Kosmos Energy, a shareholder in the floating liquefied natural gas projects offshore Senegal and Mauritania in West Africa and other regional oil and gas ventures in Ghana and Equatorial Guinea, swung to a fourth-quarter profit from a previous loss and reported good progress on the FLNG development alongside UK major BP and advances in the additional Yakaar-Teranga LNG proposal.

Seatrium Group of Singapore, formerly called Sembcorp Marine Ltd and renamed as Seatrium following its merger with Keppel Offshore & Marine, has successfully delivered the converted floating LNG production vessel for the BP-led FLNG project offshore Mauritania and Senegal.

Kosmos Energy, the Dallas-based oil and gas exploration and production company with assets in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa, has posted solid earnings and plans a new LNG export project from the Yakaar-Teranga gas fields offshore Senegal in addition to the ongoing FLNG ventures based on the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim resources shared between Senegal and Mauritania.

UK major BP and Kosmos Energy of the US along with the state energy companies of Mauritania and Senegal have confirmed the development expansion concept for the second phase of the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) gas fields floating LNG project.
