BP Trinidad & Tobago LLC (BPTT) reported the start-up of the Trinidad onshore compression (TROC) project. Full start-up will occur over the next few months, BPTT said, when TROC will have the potential to deliver 200 MMscfd of gas.
The facility is expected to improve production capacity by increasing production from low-pressure wells in BPTT’s existing acreage in the Columbus basin using an additional inlet compressor at the Point Fortin Atlantic LNG plant.
Atlantic LNG Co. of Trinidad & Tobago will serve as TROC’s operator. The project was sanctioned in July 2016 following agreements between ALNG shareholders, National Gas Co. of Trinidad & Tobago, and other directly impacted upstream operators.
TROC is one of seven major upstream projects BP expects to bring online this year.
