The FID on Phase 1 of the Sangomar Field Development offshore Senegal follows the receipt last week of the 25-year Exploitation Authorisation from the Government of Senegal. Phase 1 of the development will target estimated 2P recoverable oil reserves of 231 mmbbls (gross). Over the life of the field, total recoverable oil resources are estimated to be approximately 500 mmbbls with the development also planning gas export to shore. Woodside, as Operator of the joint venture, has completed the purchase contract for the Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facility and issued full notices to proceed for the drilling and subsea construction and installation contracts. The key contractors for the development are:Ø MODEC, Inc, for the purchase of an FPSO with an oil processing capacity of approximately 100,000 barrels per dayØ Subsea Integration Alliance (a non-incorporated alliance between Subsea 7 and OneSubsea) for the construction and installation of the integrated subsea production systems and subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlinesØ Diamond Offshore for two well-based contracts for the drill rigs Ocean BlackRhino and Ocean BlackHawk Simon Thomson Chief Executive of Cairn said;"Cairn's discoveries offshore Senegal from the country's first deep water wells opened up a new basin on the Atlantic Margin. Cairn has operated three drilling programmes and successfully laid the foundation for Senegal's first multi-phase oil and gas development. Senegal is now an attractive oil and gas province, drawing the attention of the global industry." Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said; "We look forward to progressing the project towards first oil in early 2023 and expect that our experience in offshore FPSO developments will support its delivery on cost and schedule. We are grateful for the ongoing support of the Government of Senegal and will be working with all stakeholders to ensure that the country's first oil project delivers enduring benefits to its people."

Thankyou GO, you cut off the best bit, Cath's bit from the FTSE statement by Cairn... ... not really news worthy but nice to see.
FAR Managing Director Cath Norman said;
"This is a momentous milestone for the joint venture and the people of Senegal. We thank all of our
stakeholders and look forward to the coming weeks and months before first oil in early 2023."

Monday looks interesting for financing statement... then arbitration probably a few weeks later.

Wow this bucket of bolts is moving, with major component contracts being signed. FAR trying to renegotiate with the first 2 banks to lift lending? The third for some reason, seems shaky or requires some other info/support. I would suggest with the momentum if outcome of PE in FARs favour, (small chance), Woodside may have to pay aggrieved parties a settlement.... which could continue to be negotiated as this thing is built.
