SENEGAL’S 2025 OIL PRODUCTION SURPASSES FORECASTS, HITTING 36.1 MILLION BARRELS

Senegal’s oil production for 2025 hit 36.1 million barrels, significantly surpassing earlier projections, the Ministry of Energy, Oil and Mines has reported.
Initial forecasts for the year had estimated output at 30.53 million barrels, which was later revised upward to 34.7 million barrels in June. Authorities credited the higher-than-expected production to “the good response of the reservoirs, proper maintenance of the wells, and strong operational performance.”
The country’s oil comes from the Sangomar offshore oil and gas field, located about 100 kilometres off the coast of Dakar and operated by Australian firm Woodside Energy since 2024.
According to the Ministry, three shipments of crude oil from Sangomar were exported in December 2025, totaling 2.94 million barrels on the international market.
Senegal also exceeded expectations in liquefied natural gas (LNG) production, achieving record output in December 2025 with exports of 0.5 million cubic metres that month.
