Linde declared that it has been selected as liquefied natural gas (LNG) technology licensor for phases 2 and 3 of the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project, combined developed by BP, Kosmos Energy, Société des Pétroles du Sénégal (PETROSEN), and Société Mauritanienne des Hydrocarbures et de Patrimoine Minier (SMHPM).
Greater Tortue Ahmeyim, which will be managed by BP, is the deepest offshore project in Africa to date and is located offshore on the maritime border between Mauritania and Senegal.
Linde will provide technology licensing services, based on the Linde MFC2® liquefaction technology under the terms of the signed Master Agreement. Linde will also construct and supply the related cryogenic coil wound heat exchangers, subject to a future call-off.
“Being appointed by a world-class oil and gas major like BP for a complex project is another milestone in successfully implementing our natural gas liquefaction technology around the globe” said Dr Christian Bruch, Executive Vice President Linde plc and CEO Linde Engineering. “We are looking forward to working closely together with BP to support them in the successful execution of this project.”
The Linde MFC2® liquefaction technology jointly compact and highly energy efficient, making it well suited to offshore projects like Greater Tortue Ahmeyim.
