Trinity Exploration & Production has restored oil production from its platform offshore Trinidad’s east coast after a fire earlier this month.
The generator-related fire occurred on Trinity’s Bravo platform in the Trintes field on April 10. Four workers were onboard at the time and two sustained minor burns with all four affected by smoke inhalation.
Production was halted, the fire was extinguished and the crew evacuated. As a precautionary measure, production on other Trintes platforms was also shut down.
Following approval from the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries, received last week, the company successfully restored oil production from all previously producing wells on the Bravo platform on April 18. Alpha and Delta platforms restarted oil production a week earlier.
Prior to the incident, oil production from the Bravo platform accounted for approximately 350 bopd. Total Trintes field production is approximately 1,010 bopd.
