Petrofac has secured a contract with BP to develop operational procedures for their Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) Project in Mauritania and Senegal
Centred on minimising risk and harm to personnel, plant and the environment, the procedures will encompass all offshore operations, including subsea, floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) and hub.
Steve Webber, senior vice-president for operations, said, “BP is an important longstanding client and we look forward to supporting them in operating safely and responsibly, in their delivery of the GTA Phase 1 Project, which is creating a new LNG hub in Africa.”
The Tortue/Ahmeyim gas field, with estimated resources of 15 tcf of gas, is located offshore on the border between Mauritania and Senegal. The integrated gas value chain and near-shore liquefied natural gas (LNG) development will export LNG to global markets as well as supplying gas to Senegal and Mauritania.
