BP’s Cannonball, the first platform to be designed and constructed in Trinidad and Tobago, produced its first gas on 12 March.
The $250 million facility is expected to be brought up to full production rates over the next few weeks when gas output will be about 800 million standard cubic feet of gas per day or 140 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, about 25 per cent of the company's overall production, the company said in a statement.
The Cannonball wells will be high rate gas producers, and will be among the most productive wells in BP's worldwide portfolio, it added.
Cannonball is located 35 kilometres off the coast of Galeota Point, Mayaro in water depths of 231 feet.
Robert Riley, Chief Executive Officer of BP Trinidad and Tobago said: “This is a project of many firsts, for BP Trinidad and Tobago. Cannonball has built a legacy of sustainability through the creation of distinct indigenous businesses in two sectors in Trinidad and Tobago platform design and engineering, and fabrication. It also demonstrates our capacity to deliver a major project from start to finish here in Trinidad and Tobago.”
