Senegal's PM says contract for BP-operated GTA gas project is unfair


Senegal's Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko said in a televised statement on Thursday that ‌a gas contract for the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) project operated by BP had ​been found to be one-sided and ​unfair after a review of strategic ⁠contracts.

Sonko's address on Thursday aimed ​to cover the outcome of a ​review of strategic contracts in a wide range of sectors launched by his government since ​coming to power in 2024, Reuters reported.

He ​said the oil and gas sector was still ‌under ⁠review and discussions underway with various partners, and the priority through the talks was to ensure the supply ​of gas.

He ​did ⁠not provide specific details about any discussions with BP.

Sonko ​promised to publish a document ​with ⁠the details of the contracts being studied. Senegal's review includes oil and gas ⁠contracts, ​fishing contracts and ​procurement contracts among others.
