Senegal’s burgeoning oil industry marked another milestone in June 2025 with the export of 2.9 million barrels of crude oil, according to the Ministry of Energy, Petroleum, and Mines.
The figures, announced on Saturday, reflect sustained production from the offshore Sangomar field and signal growing momentum for the country’s energy ambitions.
The June exports were delivered through three cargoes—designated SAN034, SAN035, and SAN036—bringing the total volume of crude oil exported in the second quarter of 2025 to 9.63 million barrels.
This keeps Senegal on track to meet its annual projection of 30.53 million barrels, underlining the stability and reliability of the Sangomar site’s output.
This latest update, part of Senegal’s commitment to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), closely mirrors performance from May, when 2.92 million barrels were exported across three shipments (SAN031 to SAN033).
The consistency points to a solid production rhythm, just one year after the country extracted its first oil.
Operations at Sangomar began in June 2024, when Woodside Energy confirmed the start of crude extraction from its offshore floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO).
The field has since become a central pillar of Senegal’s energy strategy.
In parallel with oil development, Senegal’s gas sector is also advancing.
The Grand Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) project—a joint venture with neighboring Mauritania—recorded two additional shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in June 2025, totaling 0.33 million cubic meters. These exports follow a May shipment of 168,426 m³ and come as facility commissioning continues to ramp up capacity.
Onshore, the Gadiaga field contributed 207,737 Nm³ of natural gas production in June, pushing total sales to 548,078 Nm³ for the first quarter of 2025.
Minister of Energy Birame Souleye Diop reaffirmed the government’s dedication to a transparent and inclusive approach in managing the nation’s hydrocarbon wealth.
As Senegal stakes its claim in the regional energy arena, officials hope the continued development of oil and gas resources will foster long-term economic resilience and industrial growth.
