BP completes drilling phase offshore Trinidad

BP has completed the first phase of its small pools drilling campaign offshore Trinidad and Tobago, the British energy giant announced on Monday.

The campaign, which began in October 2022, included three wells in the Mango field, one well in the Savonette field and three wells in the Angelin field.

Successful finds on the three Mango wells have been put into production and are producing around 5.1 mcm (180 mcf) per day, with the third well still ramping up its production levels.

The scope of the small pools project involved side tracks of existing wells and unexplored areas near BP’s existing infrastructure.

Drilling was performed by the Joe Douglas jack-up rig, which is currently at the Savonette platform to commence drilling the next well.

“The successful completion of the wells in our Mango field is great news for bpTT and for Trinidad and Tobago,” said David Campbell, president of BP Trinidad and Tobago.

“It demonstrates our continued commitment to developing resources in our existing shallow water acreage in the Columbus Basin.”
