Senegal became an oil producer in 2024 with the Sangomar field and an LNG exporter in 2025 with Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA), shared with Mauritania. Their cargoes now shape exports, public revenue and the budget, while fuel and electricity subsidies weigh on public finances. This page tracks the latest checked figures from the Ministry of Energy, Petroleum and Mines and ANSD, and every Alama Report story on Senegal’s energy sector.
