Doris Engineering has been awarded an advisor contract by the Senegalese Ministry of Petroleum and Energy for the development of oil and gas projects offshore Senegal
Doris, a provider of engineering services to oil and gas and renewables industries, said it would focus on two projects: Grand Tortue Ahmeyim, operated by BP, and the SNE project, operated by Woodside.
The two-year mission will consist of reviewing the optimisation and the robustness of the field development performed on these projects to be in line with the Ministry expectations, it added.
The company stated that this project is a great opportunity for Doris to train Senegalese engineers to the oil and gas deep-water developments and to its methods and tools.
Grand Tortue Ahmeyim is located at the border between Senegal and Mauritania and lies in ultradeep-water. The facilities under review include the subsea network, the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) and the floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG).
The SNE Deepwater Oil Field is located in the Rufisque, Sangomar and Sangomar Deep Blocks, within the Senegalese portion of the Mauritania-Senegal-Guinea Bissau Basin. The subsea network and the FPSO are also part of the review.
Nicolas Parsloe, CEO of Doris Group, commented, “This award is the recognition by the Senegalese government of Doris expertise in LNG and oil and gas deepwater projects. It is also the result of good communication with GES-Petrogaz and understanding of their requirements.”
“This is in line with the consultancy missions that we have performed alongside NOC’s in West Africa during the last twenty years, and in line with our strategy to work hand-in-hand with NOC’s and regulatory authorities. We are proud to support Senegal in its development in the oil and gas sector,” he added.
