This is expected to rise to 5 million tonnes by 2027 and 10 million tonnes by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>By Mohamed Sne\u00efba, Nouakchott<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La r\u00e9union \u00e0 Dakar du Comit\u00e9 strat\u00e9gique charg\u00e9 du suivi du projet de production de gaz dans le Champ gazier\u00a0Grand Tortue Ahmeyim\u00a0(GTA), fin janvier, sous la copr\u00e9sidence du&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3254,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[33,34,31,29,38,37,36],"class_list":["post-3251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualite","tag-actualite","tag-africa","tag-afrique","tag-gaz","tag-gta","tag-petrole-et-gaz-en-mauritanie","tag-petrole-et-gaz-au-senegal"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>S\u00e9n\u00e9gal - Mauritanie : Les derniers r\u00e9glages avant la production du gaz - Or Noir Africa<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ornoir.africa\/en\/senegal-mauritania-latest-settings-before-gas-production\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"S\u00e9n\u00e9gal - Mauritanie : Les derniers r\u00e9glages avant la production du gaz - Or Noir Africa\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"La r\u00e9union \u00e0 Dakar du Comit\u00e9 strat\u00e9gique charg\u00e9 du suivi du projet de production de gaz dans le Champ gazier\u00a0Grand Tortue Ahmeyim\u00a0(GTA), fin janvier, sous la copr\u00e9sidence du&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/ornoir.africa\/en\/senegal-mauritania-latest-settings-before-gas-production\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Or Noir Africa\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OrNoirAfrica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-02-10T00:58:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-02-10T01:02:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/ornoir.africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/327121443_6270145676337905_1862058539505661130_n-1024x668.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"668\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mapath\u00e9 SOW\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@OrNoirAfrica\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@OrNoirAfrica\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mapath\u00e9 SOW\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ornoir.africa\\\/senegal-mauritanie-les-derniers-reglages-avant-la-production-du-gaz\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ornoir.africa\\\/senegal-mauritanie-les-derniers-reglages-avant-la-production-du-gaz\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Mapath\u00e9 SOW\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ornoir.africa\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/c8f0dccd7692ef1c102cc8d1c2c5b5ea\"},\"headline\":\"S\u00e9n\u00e9gal &#8211;
