BP and US-based company Kosmos are in partnership in two fields: the Grand Tortue(GTA) and the Yakaar Teranga hub. The GTA gas field straddles Senegal and
Mauritania. The Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement signed between BP, Kosmos,and the governments of Senegal and Mauritania provide for a 50-50 split in revenues. The
Yakaar Teranga hub, further south of Saint Louis, will mainly produce gas for internal
consumption. Grand Tortue holds confirmed reserves of 100 TCF on both sides of theborder, leading to massive gas production in Senegal and Mauritania over the next ten years.
