BP brings Trinidad’s Cypre gas project fully on line

PORT OF SPAIN, November 21, 2025 – bpTT has brought the last of seven wells of its Cypre gas project on line ahead of schedule in Trinidad and Tobago, the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries said on Thursday.

The final three wells were added following the completion of four initial wells earlier this year. The second phase had originally been scheduled for 2026 but was accelerated through collaboration with the ministry. At peak, Cypre is expected to deliver 45,000 boepd (around 250 mcf per day).

“This efficiency augurs well for our natural gas supply. In fact, ‘ahead of schedule’ is the new norm under this second administration of Prime Minister the Honourable Kamla Persad-Bissessar,” Minister of Energy Dr Roodal Moonilal said.

The shallow-water development draws on gas from the Macadamia-1 discovery drilled in 2017 and the South East Queens Beach reservoirs. It was made possible by exploration incentives introduced in 2014, including an accelerated capital allowance that spurred BP to drill both Macadamia-1 and Savannah ahead of a 2017 sunset clause.

The Savannah well resulted in the Matapal project, which has been producing gas since September 2021. Minister Moonilal said that without the 2014 fiscal framework, neither Cypre nor Matapal would have materialised.

bp Trinidad and Tobago is Trinidad and Tobago’s leading gas producer and operates offshore facilities that supply most of the country’s natural gas. It is a joint venture between BP and Repsol.
