The successful completion of bpTT’s Cypre seven-well drilling program has garnered praise from both current and former Energy Ministers, underscoring its pivotal role in Trinidad and Tobago’s energy landscape. Energy Minister Dr. Roodal Moonilal lauded the project’s early delivery, noting that Phase 2’s three wells were operational ahead of their 2026 schedule. The Cypre subsea development, tied to bpTT’s Juniper platform, is expected to produce 45,000 barrels of oil equivalent daily at peak capacity, significantly bolstering the nation’s natural gas supply. Moonilal attributed the project’s success to policies enacted by the People’s Partnership government in 2014, including exploration incentives that spurred investments like the Macadamia-1 well in 2017. Former Energy Minister Stuart R Young also commended bpTT, emphasizing the project’s role in mitigating natural gas decline. Despite concerns raised by former Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley about declining gas production, the Cypre project represents a critical step toward securing Trinidad and Tobago’s energy future. Located 78 kilometers off the southeast coast, the Cypre gas field is wholly owned by bpTT, a joint venture of bp and Repsol.
