DAKAR (Reuters) - Mauritania hopes to agree a business plan for BP's BirAllah offshore gas field in two to three years time, Energy Minister Abdessalam Ould Mohamed Saleh said at a conference in Dakar on Thursday.

Speaking earlier at the same conference, BP Executive Vice-President for Production and Operations Gordon Birrell said it was working with the Mauritanian government on the most attractive development path for the field.
