French engineering services provider Doris Engineering has been awarded an advisor contract by the Senegalese ministry of petroleum and energies for the development of oil & gas projects offshore Senegal.

This two-year mission consists in reviewing the optimization and the robustness of the field development performed on these projects to be in line with the ministry expectations.

It focuses on two projects, the Grand Tortue Ahmeyim, operated by BP, and the SNE project, operated by Woodside, Doris Engineering said in a statement.

Grand Tortue Ahmeyim is located at the border between Senegal and Mauritania and lies in ultradeep-water. The facilities under review include the subsea network, the FPSO and the FLNG unit.

The SNE deepwater oil field is located in the Rufisque, Sangomar and Sangomar deep blocks, within the Senegalese portion of the Mauritania-Senegal-Guinea Bissau Basin. The subsea network and the FPSO are also part of the review.
