Woodside Energy on Track for First Oil from Senegal’s Sangomar Offshore Project

Australian oil and gas company Woodside Energy is on track to achieve first oil from the Sangomar offshore project in Senegal in the middle of next year. The project marks Senegal’s first offshore oil development and is located about 50 nautical miles south of Dakar, the country’s capital. The FPSO, Léopold Sédar Senghor, has departed Singapore and is en route to the site, after being converted from a VLCC by Japanese operator Modec. The FPSO is sailing 12,000 nautical miles to reach the Sangomar field.

Senegal is quickly becoming a significant player in the oil and gas industry, and the Sangomar project is expected to contribute to the country’s economic growth. The departure of the FPSO from Singapore marks a significant milestone in the project’s progress, and Woodside Energy is aiming to achieve first oil production from the site in the middle of next year.

The development of the Sangomar offshore project in Senegal is a major step for the country’s oil industry. With the FPSO en route to the site, Woodside Energy is making significant progress towards achieving first oil production from the project. This development is expected to have a positive impact on Senegal’s economy and its position in the global oil and gas market.
