BP spuds first well at Cypre gas play off Trinidad
Trinidad and Tobago 
PORT OF SPAIN, February 27, 2024 – BP has launched drilling at its inaugural well at the Cypre gas development offshore Trinidad and Tobago, local subsidiary bpTT announced last week.
The well is the first of seven planned at the project, which will utilise existing infrastructure, connecting gas from the Cypre field to the company’s Juniper platform off Trinidad’s southeast coast.
The project received the green light in September 2022 and first gas is expected in 2025.
“Cypre is a significant investment for bpTT to continue to maintain production,” bpTT president David Campbell said.
