Woodside Energy announced that the Léopold Sédar Senghor Floating Production Storage and
Offloading (FPSO) facility has safely arrived offshore Senegal. This is a significant step toward achieving First
Production from the Sangomar field which is targeted for mid-2024.
The arrival of the FPSO from Singapore at its final destination approximately 100 kilometres offshore Dakar,
Senegal, marks the commencement of the next phase of the project: commissioning the FPSO and hooking
up the 23 production, gas and water injection wells that make up the Sangomar Field Development Phase 1.
Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill said the milestone marked an important step on the road to first production.
“The FPSO arrival brings us closer to first production which is targeted for mid-2024. We are proud to be
Senegal’s first offshore oil project and firmly believe that this project will prove to be important to Senegal’s
future development and prosperity.
“In addition to developing Senegal’s energy resources, we have already begun working with the Government
of Senegal, local businesses and communities to develop programs that create business opportunities, build
local capabilities, foster employment opportunities, and bring broad economic benefits as a result of our
operations.
“The completion of this phase of the project is only possible through strong partnerships with the Senegalese
Government, joint venture participant PETROSEN, and our contracting partners, all of whom have worked
professionally and co-operatively since the final investment decision in January 2020.”
The Sangomar Field Development Phase 1 includes a stand-alone FPSO with subsea infrastructure and an
expected production capacity of approximately 100,000 barrels/day.
