Key Takeaways
BP's GTA project begins commercial LNG production via Golar LNG's Gimi FLNG unit.
Gimi FLNG reaches 2.4 mtpa output- 90% of nameplate capacity and aligned with contracted supply.
GTA marks a milestone as one of Africa's deepest offshore developments at up to 2,850 meters depth.
BP plc (BP - Free Report) , the British oil and gas giant, has reached a milestone for its Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (“GTA”) project with the beginning of commercial operations by Golar LNG’s floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) unit. The GTA project is operated by BP with a 56% working interest. Other partners in this project are Kosmos Energy, Petrosen, and SMH, holding 27%, 10%, and 7% interest, respectively.
Gimi FLNG Reaches Commercial Operations Date
Golar LNG’s Gimi FLNG has reached Commercial Operations Date for the GTA project under a 20-year lease and operate agreement. This agreement implies that the Gimi FLNG unit will be leased out to BP for the project. The FLNG unit has begun commercial operations, and the production of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) has been raised to a level of approximately 2.4 million tons per annum (mtpa). This is equivalent to 90% of the FLNG unit’s nameplate capacity. Furthermore, the current production level is equivalent to the annual contracted level of supply under long-term agreements.
Key Milestones
The GTA project has achieved several milestones in 2025. The first LNG from the project was produced in February. The first LNG cargo from the GTA project was exported in April, followed by the second and third in May and early June, respectively. The fourth cargo is currently loading and shall be exported shortly. Based on the current schedule, Kosmos Energy estimates that the project will export 3.5 gross cargoes in the June-end quarter.
