bpTT sanctions gas development offshore Trinidad, discovers additional stacked reservoirs

• bpTT has sanctioned the Ginger gas development offshore Trinidad.
• The operator discovered gas at the Frangipani exploration well.

bp Trinidad and Tobago (bpTT) has sanctioned the Ginger gas development offshore Trinidad and has encountered stacked gas reservoirs at its Frangipani exploration well. 

Ginger lies about 50 miles off Trinidad’s southeast coast in less than 300 ft of water. Drilling on the first well began in January and is expected to resume in fourth-quarter 2025.  

Ginger will become bpTT’s fourth subsea project and will include four subsea wells and subsea trees tied back to the existing Mahogany B platform. First gas from the project is expected in this year’s fourth quarter, placing it as one of 10 major project start-ups expected by the operator between 2025 and 2027. At peak, the development is expected to have the capacity to produce 62,000 bo/d. 
 
Frangipani lies east of Mahogany field about 50 miles off the southeast coast of Trinidad. The well identified multiple stacked gas reservoirs within the same geological structure. Options are currently being evaluated to move the discovery forward at pace, the company said. 

bpTT has 100% working interest in both Ginger and Frangipani. bpTT currently operates 12 offshore platforms, two subsea installations, and two onshore processing plants and is the country’s largest hydrocarbon producer, accounting for about half of the nation’s gas production.
