Senegal anticipates the first cargo from BP’s Greater Tortue Ahmeyim liquefied natural gas project early next year, with gas extraction expected this year. The $4.8 billion project, in partnership with Mauritania, is crucial for Senegal’s economic growth. President Bassirou Diomaye Faye aims to audit oil and gas contracts to secure better terms, potentially increasing the state oil company’s share. While this could enhance revenues, the Natural Resource Governance Institute warns that renegotiating contracts may risk partner relations and investment. A final investment decision for the Yakaar-Teranga project is expected next year as the government seeks new partners.
