Yakaar-Teranga LNG Hub is a proposed LNG export hub in Senegal.[1][2]
Location
The LNG hub is expected to capitalize on gas resources offshore Senegal in the Yakaar-Teranga offshore gas field.[3] This is reportedly within the Cayar Offshore Profond block.[1] The location below is a loose approximate based on the nearest large port city, Dakar.

Background
The LNG hub has been mentioned in reporting as a likely area of concentration, along with BirAllah LNG Hub, once BP finished the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim FLNG Terminal project.
In November 2023, BP left the project as it chose to prioritize its offshore activities and the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim FLNG Terminal project. Kosmos Energy assumed majority ownership, increasing its stake from 30% to 90%, and will be the operator of the project. Petrosen holds the remaining shares. Phase 1 of the Yakkar-Teranga project was reportedly in the feasibility stage, with gas production expected to start in 2024.[4]
