BP begins production at Cypre gas project

PORT OF SPAIN, April 3, 2025 – bp Trinidad and Tobago has started production from its Cypre gas project offshore Trinidad, the company said on Thursday.

Cypre, located 78 kilometres off the southeast coast of, is one of BP‘s 10 major projects expected to come on line between 2025 and 2027 as part of the company’s upstream growth strategy.

The development is set to contribute significantly to the 250,000 boepd combined peak net production expected from these projects.

Cypre is bpTT’s third subsea development and consists of seven wells tied back to the Juniper platform. At peak, the project is expected to produce around 45,000 boepd, or around 7.1 mcm (250 mcf) of gas per day. The first phase, comprising four wells, was completed in late 2024, with the second phase scheduled to begin in the second half of 2025.

“Our focus is on consistent execution and safe delivery of major projects like Cypre. The second of 10 major projects across our global portfolio that we expect to start up by 2027, Cypre is also the first of a series of projects we will be bringing online in Trinidad to deliver gas to the nation and add value for bp,” EVP gas and low carbon energy William Lin said.

“Cypre is another key milestone in bpTT’s strategy to maximise production from our shallow water acreage using existing infrastructure. The project not only reinforces our commitment to maintaining production but also plays a crucial role in satisfying our existing gas supply commitments,” bpTT president David Campbell said.

“Cypre represents a significant investment in the country’s energy sector. We are proud to be part of this journey and look forward to continuing our collaboration with Government and other stakeholders to unlock Trinidad and Tobago’s energy future.”
