Chinguetti is a oil Gisement located with broad of the Mauritania by the firm Australia Woodside in 2001.

Relatively modest cuts some (initially, the reserves proven and probable were evaluated with 123 Mbbls) has nevertheless its importance: it marks the first commercial discovery in the country, opening a new area of oil exploration in deep Offshore.

The production began in March 2006. Nominal capacity of 70 kbbls/j was maintenau only very little time, and the production quickly declined around 30 kbbls/j. This unforeseen decline, of to water penetrations in certain wells, led the operators to reduce of more than 50% their estimate of reserve. New wells must be drilled.

A layer moreover small size, Tevet, was discovered in the vicinity and will be most probably attached to the same floating rig.
