The GTA LNG project, which is being developed in phases, is expected to produce up to 10 million tonnes of LNG a year (Mtpa). It is planned to be commissioned in 2022.

The project involves production of gas from an ultra-deepwater subsea system and then processing it on a mid-water floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.

Subsequently, the processed gas will be transported through floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility located on the Mauritania and Senegal maritime border. The facility has the capacity to provide nearly 2.5 million tonnes of LNG annually.

The LNG project is being developed by BP, Kosmos Energy, Societe des Petroles du Senegal (Petrosen), and Societe Mauritanienne des Hydrocarbures (SMHPM).
