Hydrocarbures : Changements au sommet des compagnies qui exploitent le Gaz et le pétrole sénégalais
Changes have been made at the helm of the foreign companies currently operating in Senegal's oil and gas projects. Meg O'Neill, who until now was President and CEO of Woodside, the company holding an 82% stake in Senegal's Sangomar oil project, has resigned. She will be joining British Petroleum (BP), which also operates in Senegal and holds a majority stake in the Grand Tortue Ahmeyim gas project in Senegal and Mauritania.
"Meg leaves Woodside in a strong position, having led the company through the merger with BHP Petroleum, the final investment decision regarding the Scarborough Energy project, the start of the Sangomar project, the final investment decision regarding the Louisiana LNG project, the acquisition of Beaumont New Ammonia, the integration of many leading partners in these projects and the maintenance of high performance across all of Woodside's global operations," said Richard Goyder, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Woodside, in a text seen by Seneweb.
BP also announced the appointment of Meg O'Neill as Chief Executive Officer. She will officially assume her role on April 1, 2026, as Murray Auchincloss has decided to step down as CEO and director of the company. "It is an honor for me to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of the company (…) I look forward to working with BP's leadership team and my colleagues around the world to accelerate performance, strengthen safety, drive innovation and sustainability, and help meet global energy needs," said Meg O'Neill.
At Woodside, Liz Westcott has been appointed interim CEO, to temporarily replace the previous CEO. She was previously Chief Operating Officer of Energy Australia, following a 25-year career with ExxonMobil, where she worked in Australia, the UK, and Italy. "Woodside's priorities for 2026 are clear. Liz and her team will focus on ensuring the safety and efficiency of operations, delivering major projects, and maintaining a clear strategic direction, as defined at Woodside's Capital Markets Day in November 2025," the Australian company stated in a press release seen by Seneweb.

Quand il s’agit de parler des africains étrangers sur le sol Sénégalais vous faites du bruit. Mais ces étrangers là ne le dérangent pas alors qu’ils ne sont là que pour perpétuer un système colonial de fuite de capitaux.
Si l’État n’assume pas ses responsabilités, la baisse du carburant ne profitera qu’à une minorité. Les prix du transport et des secteurs liés restent inchangés, tandis que le gorgorlou risque encore d’en être exclu.
