    OSLO, Norway – Golar subsidiary Gimi MS has confirmed a revised delivery schedule with BP Mauritania Investments for the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim offshore gas/condensate project.

    The target connection date for the converted FLNG vessel Gimi, previously scheduled for 2022, will now be extended by 11 months. Terms of the lease and operate agreement are unchanged.

    According to Golar, this should facilitate the conclusion of discussions with both engineering, procurement, and construction contractors and lending banks concerning the adjustment of construction and financing schedules.

    BP announced it was delaying start-up earlier this year due to global developments.
