Well result promising for Yakaar-Teranga project

摘要

BP'S plans to establish a second liquefied natural gas project off north-west Africa took a major step forward after a successful appraisal well was drilled this week on its Yakaar discovery off Senegal. The Yakaar-2 well was drilled by the drillship Valaris DS-12 which is now en route to Mauritania to drill another key probe for BP, the results of which will be critical to underpin a potential third LNG project in the region. Greater Tortue Ahmeyim is the first LNG scheme, with phase one due on line in 2022 via subsea wells and a floating production, storage and offloading vessel feeding gas to a floating LNG unit installed behind a breakwater.
