Sangomar
We will continue working with the Government of Senegal, local communities and contractors to realise the benefits from a nationally significant development.
The Sangomar Field Development Phase 1 is Senegal's first oil project and is on track for first oil in 2024.
The Sangomar field (formerly the SNE field), containing both oil and gas, is located approximately 100 kilometres south of Dakar. Work on the Sangomar Field Development commenced in early 2020 and first oil production is targeted in 2024.
The initial phase is referred to as the Sangomar Field Development Phase 1 (the Sangomar Field Development). This phase will focus on developing the less complex reservoir units and testing other reservoirs to support gas export to shore.
The Rufisque Offshore, Sangomar Offshore and Sangomar Deep Offshore joint venture, comprising Woodside (Operator) and Societé des Petroles du Sénégal (Petrosen), is committed to the development of Sangomar field in accordance with international industry best practice and relevant government regulations.
