Senegal expects the first cargo from BP Plc’s Greater Tortue Ahmeyim liquefied natural gas project at the “beginning of next year,” according to Deputy Energy Minister Cheikh Niane.

The project — shared with neighboring Mauritania — is still “on track” and the first gas extraction is expected this year, Niane said on the sidelines of the Adipec conference in Abu Dhabi.
