The Juniper field involved an investment of nearly $2bn, and produces gas from the Corallita and Lantana fields through the new Juniper platform, which is situated approximately 80km off the south-east coast of Trinidad at water depths of around 110m.

Gas recovered from the site is transported to the Mahogany B hub via a 10km flowline that was installed last year.

The Trinidad Onshore Compression project began operation in April, while BPTT announced in June that it had sanctioned the development of the Angelin gas field, which scheduled to start production in late-2019.

The company also discovered a further two additional offshore resources in Trinidad, which are expected to encourage future developments in the region.
