The initial subsea infrastructure links the first four wells consolidated through production pipelines leading to a FPSO vessel.

Liquids from here are removed and the export gas is transported through a pipeline to the floating liquid natural gas (FLNG) hub terminal where the gas is liquefied.

The Tortue / Ahmeyim project is located in the C-8 block off the shore of Mauritania and the Saint-Louis Profond block offshore Senegal.
