Golar LNG's giant floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) vessel Gimi has arrived at BP’s Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) project on the maritime border between Mauritania and Senegal, where it should exploit the gas field's first development phase. The FLNG Gimi was previously scheduled to be delivered in 2022, but its schedule was changed and extended by 11 months, leaving Singapore’s Seatrium shipyard on November 2023. The unit is designed to provide around 2.5 Mt/year on average, with the total gas resources in the field estimated to be around 15 tcf (around 425 bcm). Most of the gas produced would be liquefied by the FLNG facilities, enabling export to international markets, while some would be allocated to help meet growing demand in the two host countries.
In February 2020, Kosmos Energy signed a 20-year Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) with BP's subsidiary BP Gas Marketing to supply 2.45 Mt/year of LNG from the first phase of the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim gas project.
