Peren­co T&T Lim­it­ed has found nat­ur­al gas fol­low­ing the suc­cess­ful drilling of the Onyx well.

In a news re­lease yes­ter­day, the An­glo-French com­pa­ny said the drilling of the well and side­track in the east­ern part of the Onyx field led to the find of sig­nif­i­cant columns of nat­ur­al gas in two sep­a­rate ge­o­log­i­cal com­part­ments.

Peren­co T&T’s gen­er­al man­ag­er Gre­goire de Cour­celles said, “I am very proud of the suc­cess­ful re­sults of the Onyx wells. Our ob­jec­tive was to prove suf­fi­cient gas re­serves to un­lock field de­vel­op­ment. The wells’ find­ings are tes­ti­mo­ny to the hy­dro­car­bon po­ten­tial which re­mains in the TSP acreage and high­lights Peren­co’s com­mit­ment to pro­vide fu­ture sup­plies of nat­ur­al gas to Trinidad and To­ba­go. I would like to thank our part­ners Her­itage Pe­tro­le­um and NGC for their un­wa­ver­ing sup­port in this project and con­grat­u­late all teams in­volved in com­plet­ing this op­er­a­tion safe­ly and ef­fi­cient­ly.”
