DAKAR, March 5 (Reuters) - BP said on Wednesday

it had detected low-rate subsea gas bubbles at a well in its

Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) project, situated offshore between

Mauritania and Senegal.

The British multinational oil and gas firm anticipates the

environmental impact from the leak to be negligible and added

that the incident will not disrupt production activities.
