PORT OF SPAIN, Jan. 15 -- Trinidad and Tobago has announced the award of two exploration blocks to a consortium of Voyager Energy, Calgary, and Petrotrin.
The twin-island nation's Energy Minister Conrad Enill said the focus of the two production-sharing contracts is to explore and develop the Central Range shallow horizon block and the Central Range deep oil block.
Enill said Voyager had special expertise for exploring these blocks, which were "one of the more challenging areas on land."
Enill said the first phase includes the acquisition of seismic data and the drilling of four wells—three to 1,350 m on the shallow horizon block, and one to 3,650 m on the deep horizon block.
