BP PLC (BP.LN) said Friday that it has given the green light for the first phase of the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim liquid natural gas development, which straddles Mauritania and Senegal.

The U.K. oil-and-gas company said the final investment decision was made following agreements with the governments of the two African nations and their respective state oil companies--SMHPM and National Oil Companies Petrosen--as well as with Kosmos Energy Ltd. (KOS).

The Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project will produce gas from an ultra-deepwater subsea system and a floating production, storage and offloading vessel, BP said.

Gas will be processed then transferred to a floating liquefied natural gas facility at a nearshore hub located on the Mauritania and Senegal maritime border.

BP said the facility is designed to provide circa 2.5 million metric tons of liquid natural gas a year.

vnp... ...246.

"toast"... You should be so lucky - it's looking like stale bread for me...

BP is one of my better "performers".

It's to pay those taking the share option for the divi!

[ohojim] 20/12/2018 23:14

With $39 billion debt, I guess every little helps, but tis the season to be jolly.

I like your use of "gander" but it is rather goosey, perhaps you meant garner?

[foxeye2] 20/12/2018 22:49

Well BP, on a day when the share price has continued to lose considerable value, you announce the issue of in excess of 50M new shares. Your sense of timimg is impeccable. How to gander loyalty and good cheer among your shareholders.

I shake my head in disbelief.

By Sara Israfilbayova – Trend:

BP and partners are interested in increasing the number of Azerbaijani companies participating in their projects in the region, BP Azerbaijan Communications, External Affairs, Strategy and Region Vice President Bakhtiyar Aslanbayli said, Trend reports.

Aslanbayli made the remarks in Baku on Dec. 20 during the ceremony of signing a memorandum of understanding between the Azerbaijani Agency for Development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and BP.

“The memorandum envisages support for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the country,” he said.

Aslanbayli stressed that over 26 years of its activity in Azerbaijan, BP together with its partners contributed to the development of the country's energy sector.

“These projects are being implemented together with partners who work in such projects as Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG), Shah Deniz, Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan, South Caucasus Pipeline,” he said.

Aslanbayli also touched upon the entrepreneurship development program, which has been implemented since 2007.

“The main goal of the program is to give impetus to the development of entrepreneurship in the country,” he added. “Thus, 2,000 small and medium-sized businesses used the program.”

Speaking about the Azerbaijani Agency for Development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, Aslanbayli said that the agency managed to achieve success in the short time since its launch.

He said that BP pays special attention to the education sector and implements projects in this sphere.

Aslanbayli stressed that during the year the company published 33 books with a circulation of 19,000 copies.

optomistic

That seems rather a lot of food for a BP investor. Surely you should be empathising with your fellow investors and joining them in meagre fayre.......and some wailing and gnashing of teeth wouldn't go amiss either.

Aldi turkey breast with stuffing bracke, vnp :-)
Had my Christmas dinner yesterday, courtesy of the RAF. must watch my eating now for a day or two.

RNS tells us someone in the company spent nearly £3 mill...no worries with BP, just a shame it fell so fast from £6 but as the saying goes, no one is there to ring a bell when it hits the top or the bottom.

[veryniceperson] 20/12/2018 13:12

Maybe just the toast!

[bracke] 20/12/2018 12:48

Good day optomistic

Does that mean beans on toast for Christmas Dinner?

BP PLC (BP.LN) said Thursday that it is exploring the creation of a new petrochemicals joint venture in Turkey along with Azerbaijan's state oil company, SOCAR.

The British oil major said the proposed facility in Aliaga, western Turkey, would produce 1.25 million metric tons a year of purified terephthalic acid, 840,000 tons a year of paraxylene and 340,000 tons a year of benzene.

Purified terephthalic acid is used to make polyesters.

BP said its latest proprietary PTA technology has significantly lower capital and operating costs compared with others.

The company said both it and SOCAR expect to work torward a potential final investment decision in 2019, which would mean the new plant starting up in 2023.

...not a lot of us!

[skinny] 20/12/2018 10:45

Yes who'd have thought BP would be a quid or more lower than where it was 10 weeks ago.

[optomistic] 20/12/2018 10:43

Not nice looking charts Skinny.
The traders have done well taking oil down to these levels...in a couple of weeks they will likely be taking it back up again.

[hellscream] 20/12/2018 05:11

when was the last time the stockmarkets were down over Christmas, I can't remember.

[buywell3] 20/12/2018 05:02

OIL action to date has been a heads up of what is coming


Just when you thought it was safe to go into the water ....


The FED guy used the word ''moderate'' regarding 2019 growth in the USA

But his GDP forecast has been cut from 3% in 2018 to 2.3% in 2019

This represents a 23.3% drop

I expect therefore the DJIA for example to drop 23% from its 2018 high in the next 6 months

Markets being forward computer driven things

Hence DJIA of 20,680 is my call by end of June 2019



This should equate to FTSE 100 hitting 6042
