BP and its partner offshore Mauritania and Senegal, Kosmos Energy, could see progress on the planned Tortue development. In its latest conference call Bob Dudley, group managing director, said BP was headed toward making a decision on the FID.
Dudley said in response to a question, “The first one on the Tortue, the phase one, we’ve just been meeting with the Mauritania and Senegal Governments on that, we’re heading towards an FID in Q4 this year.”
The Tortue lies on the maritime border between Mauritania and Senegal, at a depth of 2,850 meters. BP and its partners are developing the gas field with a 30-year production potential. The Tortue field has an estimated 15 Tcf of gas and is forecast to be a significant source of domestic energy and revenue.
