Golar LNG Limited ("Golar") is pleased to announce that FLNG Gimi has reached
the Commercial Operations Date ("COD") for its 20-year Lease and Operate
Agreement for the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim ("GTA") project offshore Mauritania and
Senegal. The COD triggers 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).
The COD milestone marks a major achievement for one of Africa's deepest offshore
developments which introduce Mauritania and Senegal as LNG exporters. We look
forward to continuing working together with the GTA operator bp and its partners
Kosmos, PETROSEN and SMH as well as Mauritanian and Senegalese authorities to
deliver safe and reliable operations and to create value to all stakeholders.
Following the achieved COD of FLNG Gimi and announcement of the two FLNG
charters in Argentina on May 2, 2025, Golar is accelerating work on its next
FLNG unit(s). We continue to advance commercial discussions, with charterer
demand guiding design choice of the fourth FLNG unit. In addition to the
3.5mtpa MKII option at CIMC Raffles shipyard, Golar has signed a final
engineering study to confirm EPC price and delivery for a 5mtpa MKIII FLNG and
is updating price and schedule for an up to 2.7mtpa MKI FLNG.
