Points clés à retenir
Senegal is poised to achieve a significant economic milestone with the anticipated commencement of offshore oil and gas production in 2024. The Grand Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project, in collaboration with Mauritania, is set to start producing 2.5 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas annually by the third quarter of 2024, primarily targeting export to Europe. Additionally, the Sangomar offshore oil field, operated by Woodside, is scheduled to launch production of 100,000 barrels per day by mid-2024. The exploitation of these hydrocarbon resources holds the potential to substantially augment government revenues, boost exports, and stimulate economic growth upon their activation.
