Pétrole et gaz : Le Sénégal trace sa montée en puissance sans précipitation
Without fanfare or euphoria, Senegal is gradually making its mark on the West African energy landscape. The figures are now tangible. Nearly three million barrels of oil exported each month, with annual production expected to reach more than 30 million barrels by 2025. A controlled pace, far from the initial hype, but steady enough to mark a turning point.
Further offshore, the GTA project, conducted with Mauritania, is beginning to produce its first results. This cross-border partnership around liquefied natural gas offers Senegal a dual opportunity: to strengthen its technical credibility and accelerate its positioning as a strategic supplier for a West Africa still under energy pressure. LNG is not only a resource, but a geoeconomic projection tool.
This energy shift, however, is not happening by improvisation. Senegal's strategy, still cautious, avoids the pitfalls of dependence on extractive revenues while integrating the imperatives of sovereignty, security of supply, and local value creation. This is a difficult balance in a global economy where hydrocarbons remain both essential and suspect.
It remains to be seen whether this controlled ramp-up will be accompanied by rigorous governance mechanisms. Because production is not enough. It will be necessary to manage with transparency, redistribute equitably, and invest with vision. Oil and gas are not ends in themselves, but levers. Senegal seems to have understood this. It is up to it to transform this promise into sustainable transformation.

merci Diomaye-Sonko. LA gestion rationelle de nos resssources!!! Loin de la famille Fayr-Sall !!!!! ana sounou 400.000 francs????
Oui mais ... car on reste dans la meme logique d'extraire les ressources naturelles et les exporter. Il faut creer des chaines valeurs autour de ces ressources: produire de l'urée qui sera bientot une denrée rare à l'échelle mondiale, produire du plastique, transformer ce plastiques en items, ....
Vraiment des sites de pitres...Nigeria/Algerie/Lybie/Angola font 1 million de baril/jour et bouffent du sable... *Seulement quatre pays ont plus ou moins atteint la barre du million de barils de pétrole produit quotidiennement: Nigeria, Libye, Angola et Algérie. Ces quatre producteurs majeurs du continent ont une production cumulée de 4,55 mb/j, soit 71,10% de la production totale du continent africain.
Vous n'avaez rien compris, le Senegal ne vient que de commencer, en plus le Senegal n'est pas L'Algerie, le Nigeria ni la Lybie!!!On ne mange pas du sable!!!!
Apres on se demande pourquoi le bledard est inculte et un mouton 5 étoiles: ...des infos de médiocres griots... * 12 fois moins que le Nigeria, l'Algérie, l'Angola ...
