Woodside’s SNE Field is Renamed Sangomar
Wednesday 20 November 2019
The President of Senegal, Macky Sall, has renamed the SNE field the Sangomar field to better reflect its association with the people of Senegal.
Sangomar is the geographical name for an island located at the southern point of the Petite Cote, that runs south from Dakar. Sangomar is an important cultural area inhabited by the Serere people of Senegal and is part of the Saloum Delta National Park.
In November 2019, Woodside celebrated the fifth anniversary of the discovery of the SNE field offshore Senegal, which was the largest field discovered in 2014. Sangomar and the nearby FAN field proved the existence of a world-class working petroleum system in the Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau Conakry (MSGBC) basin.
