BP starts drilling at Cypre gas project in Trinidad and Tobago

BP on February 22 announced the spudding of its first well at its Cypre gas development project in Trinidad and Tobago. This is the first of seven wells to be drilled.  

Cypre is a subsea development that will connect gas to BP’s Juniper platform off Trinidad’s southeast coast. Cypre forms part of BP’s strategy of maximising production from existing infrastructure, and identifying solutions to bring gas to the market faster. The first gas is expected in 2025. 

The Cypre gas field is located 78 km off the southeast coast of Trinidad within the East Mayaro block, in a water depth of approximately 80 m.
