bp Trinidad and To­ba­go has sanc­tioned the Gin­ger gas de­vel­op­ment while achiev­ing ex­plo­ration suc­cess at its Frangi­pani well.

In a state­ment on Thurs­day morn­ing, bpTT said tak­ing FID on Gin­ger and dis­cov­er­ing gas at Frangi­pani are the lat­est demon­stra­tions of up­stream ac­tiv­i­ty this year for bp, in line with its strat­e­gy to grow its oil and gas busi­ness.

Gin­ger will be­come bpTT’s fourth sub­sea project and will in­clude four sub­sea wells and sub­sea trees tied back to bpTT’s ex­ist­ing Ma­hogany B plat­form. First gas from the project is ex­pect­ed in 2027 and will make up one of bp’s ten ma­jor projects ex­pect­ed to start up be­tween 2025 and 2027. At peak, the de­vel­op­ment is ex­pect­ed to have the ca­pac­i­ty to pro­duce av­er­age gas pro­duc­tion of 62,000 bar­rels of oil equiv­a­lent per day.
