The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim GTA LNG project offshore Mauritania and Senegal has achieved first gas production, with the first LNG cargo expected to be lifted this quarter.
The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim GTA liquefied natural gas project offshore Mauritania and Senegal has achieved first LNG and the first cargo is expected to be lifted during the first quarter, one of the partners in the development said on Monday. The GTA project, operated by BP in partnership with Kosmos Energy , has started delivering natural gas to the floating LNG vessel and liquefaction has begun, Kosmos Energy said in a statement.
“We are looking forward to the accelerated ramp-up of LNG production and the first LNG cargo lifting during the first quarter,” Kosmos Energy chairman and chief executive officer Andrew G. Inglis commented. The start-up of the project will benefit the economies of West African countries Senegal and Mauritania. It will also add LNG supply to the market as soon as this quarter, at a time when Europe is depleting its gas storage reserves and rushing to secure gas for the next winter.

EU Tightens Noose on Russia, Targeting LNG ExportsThe European Union (EU) is taking steps to significantly impact Russia's war economy by targeting its lucrative liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. While previous sanctions have focused on Russia's oil and military production, new measures aim to curtail Moscow's ability to profit from LNG sales, which have remained largely unaffected despite the conflict in Ukraine. This shift in strategy is driven by several factors, including the re-election of Donald Trump as US president, a global surge in LNG production, and growing pressure to hold Putin accountable for the war. The EU is considering a phased reduction in its reliance on Russian LNG, alongside additional sanctions targeting aluminum imports, Russian banks, and oil tankers. However, the plan faces challenges, including political divisions within the EU and the potential for complications arising from a US-EU trade war. Furthermore, existing loopholes, such as EU shipyards maintaining Russian LNG tankers, could undermine the effectiveness of these measures.
