How much oil did Senegal's Sangomar field produce in the first half of this year, and how does that compare to last year's monthly average?

According to the energy ministry, Sangomar produced 17.9 million barrels by the end of June this year, with monthly outputs ranging from 2.8 to 3.1 million barrels across January–June. This is consistent with last year’s average of 3 million barrels per month, indicating stable near-term production performance.

What role has the Sangomar oil project played in Senegal's broader economic performance and fiscal strategy?

Oil and gas production — including from Sangomar — helped boost Senegal’s economic growth to 6.7% last year, increased exports, reduced the current account deficit, and generated hydrocarbon revenues that Finance Minister Cheikh Diba stated would cover priority expenditures aimed at significantly reducing poverty.
