PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Oct 28, CMC – The london-based global, vertically integrated energy and petroleum company, BP, says its Juniper facility in Trinidad and Tobago has hit a new production peak with 700 million standard cubic feet of gas on a daily basis.
“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,” the company said in a statement posted on social media.
Located roughly 50 miles off Trinidad’s southeast coast in 110 meters of water, Juniper was built at a cost of approximately two billion US dollars, and being the bpTT’s first subsea field development in Trinidad and Tobago, officially starting production in 2017.
The project was developed to produce gas from the Corallita and Lantana fields, both discovered in 1996.
When Juniper began production in 2017, BP saidthen it expected the project to boost bpTT’s gas production capacity by an estimated 590 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d).
BP attributed the latest production milestone in part to sidetrack drilling, a technique that allows engineers to access additional reserves by drilling from an existing well rather than drilling an entirely new one. The company described its application at Juniper as a “regional first”.
Further development is planned at Juniper. In its 2025 annual report, BP said it had approved investment to decomplete three existing wells and drill and complete three single-zone sidetracks in Trinidad and Tobago.
The infill programme is expected to deliver about 19 million barrels of oil equivalent, with first gas anticipated in 2027, according to the report. BP also plans to add Ginger subsea wells in 2027 as part of its efforts to build on Juniper’s performance.
