Offshore engineering specialist Petrofac has secured a new contract from BP to provide operations services for the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) liquefied natural gas project in Mauritania and Senegal.
The multi-million-dollar deal is for three years and covers a wide scope of services, including onshore and offshore management and supervision, provision of personnel, and equipment maintenance.
The award follows two contracts secured in 2021 and 2022 for operational procedures and operation services for the floating production storage and offloading vessel and liquefied natural gas hub, respectively.
The GTA project is about 90% complete, according to BP. The field, located offshore on the border between Mauritania and Senegal, will produce gas from an ultra-deepwater subsea system and mid-water floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, which will process the gas and then transfer it to Golar LNG-owned Gimi FLNG unit (pictured). The first phase is expected to produce around 2.3m tons of LNG per year.
