Petrofac has been appointed by London-listed Trinity Exploration & Production to undertake a concept-screening study for the development of further reserves in the Galeota block offshore East Coast Trinidad.
The Galeota contains estimated 2P+2C reserves and resources of 46.1b barrels of oil equivalent and is Trinity’s largest asset.
The study expected to conclude in September will take a fresh look at development concepts for the block, using the latest subsurface information and marrying that with Petrofac’s low-cost marginal field track record to develop a concept that can be taken forward into conceptual engineering, front end engineering and project sanction, Trinity said.
“Key elements will comprise flexibility to deal with reservoir uncertainty and using equipment that could be potentially relocated around the large Galeota Block. Leased mobile offshore production units; concepts such as converted jack-ups or floating production, storage and offloading vessels will be considered as well as any other suitable scheme,” the company added.
