Senegal’s energy sector is set for significant expansion in 2025, driven by ongoing oil production from the Sangomar field, first gas production from Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) LNG Phase 1 and development of the Yakaar-Teranga gas project, expected to make a final investment decision next year. Meanwhile, Mauritania’s oil and gas sector is experiencing significant growth, with key projects like GTA LNG and the development of the BirAllah offshore natural gas discovery. In 2025, Mauritania (https://apo-opa.co/3PAOLxq) is focused on expanding its clean energy capacity, with the development of the 225 kV Mauritania-Mali electricity interconnection project and the launch of a $24 billion green hydrogen project, featuring 10 GW of electrolyzer capacity.
Gabon’s oil and gas sector is undergoing a period of revitalization, fueled by new offshore discoveries, production increases and strategic diversification. With an estimated two billion barrels of oil reserves, the country is positioning itself for sustained growth, targeting a production capacity of 200,000 barrels per day. Recent milestones include significant finds by BW Energy and Panoro Energy at the Hibiscus South field, along with production boosts from key players like Perenco and VAALCO. As Gabon seeks to diversify its energy landscape, the Gas Master Plan is a central initiative, aiming to enhance natural gas infrastructure and capitalize on emerging LNG and LPG markets.
