據海上能源5月10日報道，英國石油公司主導的位于毛里塔尼亞和塞內加爾海上邊界的Greater Tortue Ahmeyim液化天然氣項目正在進行中。

　　總部位于達拉斯的科斯莫斯能源公司（Kosmos Energy）通知稱，該項目的第一階段在第一季度末完成了58%。

　　科斯莫斯能源公司周一報告稱，所有主要工作流程都取得了進展，包括FPSO、浮式液化天然氣船、樞紐終端(混凝土防波堤)和海底基礎設施。

　　該合作伙伴的目標是到年底完成第一階段的80％。

　　據科斯莫斯預計，如之前溝通的那樣，FPSO的銷售和回租將于2021年第二季度完成。該過程仍在進行中，文件正在最終定稿，政府審批過程正在順利進行。

　　Greater Tortue Ahmeyim項目將從超深水海底系統和中浮生產、存儲和卸載(FPSO)船中生產天然氣，該船將加工天然氣，去除較重的碳氫化合物成分。

　　隨后，這些天然氣將被轉移到位于毛里塔尼亞和塞內加爾近海樞紐的一個浮式液化天然氣(FLNG)設施。

　　BP與Golar的Gimmi FLNG達成了為期20年的交易，為其提供了服務。由于新冠疫情的影響，雙方同意推遲交付該船。BP目前預計將在2023年交付，同年該項目預計將生產第一批天然氣。

　　該FLNG設施設計平均每年提供約250萬噸液化天然氣，該油田的天然氣資源估計約為15萬億立方英尺。

　　該項目是該流域第一個獲得FID的主要天然氣項目，計劃為全球出口提供液化天然氣，并為毛里塔尼亞和塞內加爾提供國內使用的天然氣。

　　BP-led Tortue FLNG project’s Phase 1 58 pct done

　　The BP-led Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project on the maritime border of Mauritania and Senegal is progressing.

　　Dallas-based Kosmos Energy informed the project’s Phase 1 was 58 per cent done at the end of the first quarter.

　　On Monday Kosmos Energy reported material progress across all of the major workstreams, including the FPSO, Floating LNG vessel, hub terminal (concrete breakwater) and subsea infrastructure.

　　The partnership is targeting Phase one to be around 80% complete by year end.

　　Kosmos expects completion of the FPSO sale and lease-back in the second quarter of 2021 as previously communicated. The process remains on track with documentation being finalized and the government approval process well underway.

　　The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project will produce gas from an ultra-deepwater subsea system and mid-water floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, which will process the gas, removing heavier hydrocarbon components.

　　The gas will then be transferred to a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility at a nearshore hub located on the Mauritania and Senegal maritime border.

　　BP has secured the services of Golar’s Gimmi FLNG on a 20-year deal. The pair agreed a delay in delivery of the vessel due to the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic. BP now expects the delivery of the in 2023, the same year when the project is expected to produce the first gas.

　　The FLNG facility is designed to provide circa 2.5 million tonnes of LNG per annum on average, with the total gas resources in the field estimated to be around 15 trillion cubic feet.

　　The project, the first major gas project to reach FID in the basin, is planned to provide LNG for global export as well as making gas available for domestic use in both Mauritania and Senegal.
