BP's Unit Brings Juniper Online On Schedule And Under Budget
Zacks Investment Research | Aug 15, 2017 09:13PM ET
BP plc (LON:BP)’s (NYSE:BP) unit, BP Trinidad and Tobago (“BPTT”), has announced the commissioning of the Juniper development which yielded its first oil. Juniper started production on schedule and under budget.
Juniper development represents the fifth of BP’s seven upstream major project start-ups and second in Trinidad planned for 2017. The project is anticipated to enhance BPTT’s gas production capacity by an estimated 590 million standard cubic feet a day (mmscfd).
Juniper signifies BP’s first subsea field development in Trinidad, which involves an investment of about $2 billion. It yields gas from the Corallita and Lantana fields through the new Juniper platform, which is located 80 kilometers (50 miles) off the south-east coast of Trinidad in water depth of about 110 meters. Subsequently, the gas flows to the Mahogany B hub through a new ten-kilometer flowline that was established in 2016.
The Trinidad Onshore Compression project in Trinidad was brought online in April. In June, BPTT announced that it has approved development of the Angelin gas field, which is anticipated to begin production in late 2019. Two other gas discoveries were announced by BPTT, which are expected to support future developments offshore Trinidad.
Juniper is BPTT’s 14th offshore platform in Trinidad and its sixth to be build at the fabrication yard in La Brea.
Over the last three months, shares of BP have lost 4.4% compared with the Zacks Investment Research
