FLNG Gimi receives first gas from the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim field
Golar LNG Limited announced that FLNG Gimi received feed gas from the bp-operated FPSO on the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) project offshore Mauritania and Senegal. Full commissioning of the FLNG has now commenced. Prior to achieving this key milestone, gas from the LNG carrier British Sponsor was being used to undertake advanced commissioning work. Receipt of gas from the FPSO allows the full commissioning activity to ramp up. The first LNG export cargo is now expected within Q1 2025, and full Commercial Operations Date (“COD”) is expected within Q2 2025, subject to all conditions being met.
First gas to the FLNG will result in the final upward adjustment to the Commissioning Rate under the commercial reset agreed in August 2024. COD will trigger the start of the 20-year Lease and Operate Agreement that unlocks the equivalent of around $3 billion of Adjusted EBITDA Backlog (Golar's share) and recognition of contractual payments comprised of capital and operating elements in both the balance sheet and income statement.
