Global energy major BP and project partner Technip Energies have reached a new milestone regarding the development of the highly-anticipated Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) liquefied natural gas (LNG) project located offshore Mauritania and Senegal. In January, the project partners announced that the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit for GTA has officially left China, for the project site. Following three years of construction and successful sea trials of the FPSO unit, the facility – comprising eight processing and production modules – will enable the processing of up to 500-million cubic feet of gas and the production of 2.3-million tonnes a year of LNG during GTA’s first phase.
