BP doubles offshore Trinidad reserves
BP Trinidad & Tobago (bpTT) has discovered an estimated 1 trillion ft3 of gas offshore Trinidad, doubling the estimated gas in place of the Savonette gas field, to 2 trillion ft3.
The Savonette 4 appraisal well was drilled into an untested fault block east of the original Savonette field discovery well, in water depths of almost 300 ft in the Columbus basin approximately 80 km off the south east coast of Trinidad. The well was drilled to a total depth of 18,678 ft and penetrated hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs in two intervals with discovered gas in place exceeding initial estimates.
Based on the success of the Savonette 4 well, bpTT is proposing to drill a further two development wells into the Savonette reservoirs.
The gas discovered began production in October 2012, with the Savonette 4 well currently flowing at approximately 225 million ft3/d, ramping up to 250 million ft3/d. If successful, the two additional development wells are also expected to be brought into production over the next year to eighteen months.
