BP's FPSO Vessel Departs From China to its Final Destination
Read MoreHide Full Article
BP plc (BP - Free Report) announced that its floating production, storage and offloading (“FPSO”) vessel for the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (“GTA”) liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) project departed from Qidong in China.
The FPSO vessel will cover 12,000 nautical miles to the project offshore Mauritania and Senegal. It is expected to arrive in the second quarter of 2023.
The FPSO is a crucial component of one of the world’s most innovative gas projects, the GTA development. The GTA development includes subsea development of gas fields and near-shore floating LNG facilities. The project’s first phase is expected to produce 2.3 million tons of LNG each year.
The FPSO will produce around 500 million standard cubic feet of gas per day with eight processing and production modules. The FPSO will process natural gas by removing condensate, water and other impurities.
After that, the gas will be exported to the project’s offshore floating LNG facilities. Most of the gas will be liquefied by the floating LNG facilities, allowing export to international markets. Some are allocated to help meet the rising demand in Mauritania and Senegal.
Regarding BP’s recent activities in Mauritania, the company signed an exploration and production sharing contract last year for the BirAllah gas resource. It also signed a memorandum of understanding with the Mauritania government for large-scale production of green hydrogen in the country. BP and partners continue progressing on the proposed Yakaar-Teranga gas-to-power project offshore Senegal.
The FPSO departure is an important milestone for the GTA project, which is the epitome of BP’s strong hydrocarbon strategy. With the constant support of its partners, BP remains committed to helping Mauritania and Senegal to develop their world-class resources sustainably.
