October 2018

BP and our partners will make significant investment to bring the Tortue project on-stream. It contains an estimated 15 Tcf of gas – which has the potential to turn the Greater Tortue area into a world-class oil and gas basin. Over the next three decades, we hope to see Mauritania and Senegal become global LNG players, creating prosperity and development at a local and national level.

The Tortue floating liquefied natural gas project will generate substantial revenues for Mauritania and Senegal over its lifetime as well as enabling domestic gas to be supplied to Mauritania and Senegal. It will also bring jobs that will be required to support a growing oil and gas industry.

Local content is a balance between three areas: people and skills; local supply chain; and social development. With long-term focus on capability development in all areas, the activities that can be done locally will increase over time. BP is active in all areas in parallel. Senegal has a diversified economy and national development plan (PSE). Protecting and building on these advantages can help achieve Emerged Economy status by 2035, with oil and gas playing a part.

BP is honoured to be able to play a role in helping Senegal achieve a bright energy future.
