Kosmos announced this in its operational and financial update on Monday.
The company said in its update that the ramp-up of the GTA project “continued with the floating LNG vessel operating at nameplate capacity (2.7 million tonnes per annum equivalent) for the month of December 2025, reaching a peak production rate of approximately 3 million tonnes per annum.”
Moreover, Kosmos reported that 18.5 gross LNG cargoes and one condensate cargo were lifted in 2025.
“As a result of this ramp-up in performance of the GTA field, the partnership expects cargo liftings to nearly double in 2026,” the company said.
BP operates GTA with a 56 percent working interest alongside Kosmos Energy (27 percent), Petrosen (10 percent), and SMH (7 percent).
The partners previously signed a sales and purchase agreement under which BP Gas Marketing will offtake 2.45 million tonnes per annum of LNG from the first phase of the GTA project for an initial term of up to 20 years.
In January 2025, BP and its partners started flowing gas from wells at the GTA Phase 1 LNG project to its floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel for the next stage of commissioning.
The FLNG, owned by Golar LNG and chartered by BP, started producing LNG in February and shipped the first cargo in April last year.
Golar’s FLNG vessel achieved commercial operations date (COD) in June.
The partnership is also focusing on future expansion phases of the GTA field.
Phase 1+, a low-cost brownfield expansion, is expected to double gas throughput by leveraging the existing infrastructure in place.
