NINE years after coming on stream, BP’s Juniper facility has hit a new production peak, delivering 700 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.
“It’s a testament to the hard work and expertise of our people, with teams working across wells, subsurface, projects, operations and offshore all in pursuit of simpler, stronger, more valuable bp,” a social media post by the energy major stated yesterday.
Built at a cost of approximately US$2 billion, Juniper was BP’s first subsea field development in Trinidad and Tobago. The project was developed to produce gas from the Corallita and Lantana fields, both discovered in 1996. The Juniper facility is located about 80 kilometres (50 miles) off Trinidad’s southeast coast, in approximately 110 metres of water.
