... Abstract Since 2015, over a dozen deepwater exploration and appraisal wells have been drilled across Trinidad, Guyana and Suriname. By 2020, these three countries are expected to see at least another twenty-five deepwater wells being drilled. These include 17 development wells for Guyana's...

... Abstract To date Trinidad has produced close to three billion barrels of oil from onshore and offshore fields. Formations penetrated range in age from the Lower Cretaceous to the Pleistocene. Ninety three wells have been drilled to the Cretaceous with varying degrees of success, these wells...

... Abstract Decreasing oil production and increasing quantities of greenhouse gases continue to be an issue plaguing Trinidad and Tobago's energy sector. While CO 2 EOR has been proven to be an effective solution to both of these problems it is often overlooked in Trinidad due to the inability...

... Abstract Objectives/Scope An integrated benchmarking and screening study of IOR/EOR technologies used in analogous reservoirs worldwide was performed in the Southwest Soldado (SWS) Field offshore Trinidad, in order to establish the top three methods which could be implemented in this field...

... Abstract Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) has been utilized in Trinidad and Tobago for over 50 years. Most projects so far have focused on thermal as well as gas injection along with the more conventional waterfloods. In spite of that, recovery factors are still relatively low and the country's oil...

... in some countries. Furthermore, since associated gas is a byproduct of crude oil or condensate recovery, costs and contract terms around oil developments, and ultimately potential oil revenues, dictate investment economics. In Trinidad, gas infrastructure exists for associated/flared gas...

... Abstract In 2011 January, the Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago (Petrotrin) embarked on an initiative to rejuvenate its mature land fields by using different intervention strategies to monetize the remaining reserves in its inventory of idle wells. This exercise included...

... and reduction in run life of some of the PCP system the Petroleum Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (Petrotrin) Trinmar Operations embarked in a complete review of the systems installed to identify root causes of failures, introduce best practices to avoid premature failures and recommend optimum design...

... Abstract The Onyx field is an undeveloped gas field located in the Poui-Teak Ridge, in the TSP acreage, offshore Columbus Basin, Trinidad & Tobago. Fault sealing capacity is crucial in the Onyx gas field, which presents clear evidences of hydrocarbon fault leakage along a major fault...

... Abstract Aquifer strength has a significant impact on recovery largely due to subsurface uncertainty in the aquifer connectivity and aquifer size. A wide range in recovery has been documented in the literature and has been similarly observed in gas reservoirs in the Columbus Basin (Trinidad...

... Abstract Two Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods were analyzed for producing hydrocarbons from a newly discovered JLG field using analogous information from a reservoir of similar geologic characteristics as those in southern part of Trinidad. Continuous CO 2 injection and water alternating...

... Abstract Teak, Samaan and Poui (TSP) are mature fields off the South-East coast of Trinidad, which currently produce near to 14,000 bopd with an average Water Cut of 85%. Their production started in 1972 and peaked at 143,300 bopd in 1978. The 0/1L Sand, in the Teak field, has accumulated over...

... Abstract Trinidad and Tobago has been an oil producer for over a hundred years. The land based production has historically been the spine of the energy sector. Many changes in reservoir management philosophies, with respect to improved oil recovery techniques (IOR), in the past, can be pegged...

... Abstract Teak, Samaan and Poui (TSP) is a mature field off the South-East coast of Trinidad, which currently produces near to 14,000 bopd with an average Water Cut of 85%. In production since 1972, it peaked at 143,300 bopd in 1978. Repsol E&P T&T has been looking to increase oil...

... within the sector. Fiscal management is key in a global village where every dollar counts. In the case of Trinidad and Tobago we must seek to secure our future assets be it through acquisition, maintenance and reliability. CSR must be comprehensively managed ensuring that both the corporate entity...

.... This paper will discuss a process that was developed to integrate geophysical, geological and reservoir data to study compartmentalization in a mature field located in Trinidad. A set of seismic, well log, petrophysical, and well test data was integrated to construct a 3D structural model to study two...

... and facilities design. With the aid of new technology, data of the highest quality can be obtained while the well is being drilled. This data is a key input to the development plans for the area. For an exploration well in an offshore Trinidad and Tobago oil field, in a reservoir of mainly unconsolidated...

.... These conditions are found in the deep water (> 300 m) acreage off the South East coast of Trinidad. Natural gas hydrates have been recovered in this area during drilling and seismic data have shown that there may be deposits in some areas. In this study we reviewed all the available borehole data and employed...

... Abstract Trinidad and Tobago offshore platforms have been producing oil and natural gas for over a century. Current production of over 1500 Bcf of natural gas per year ( Administration, 2013 ) is due to extensive reserves in oil and gas. More than eighteen of these wells are high-producing...

... Abstract Repsol (operator), together with partners Petrotrin and National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago, took over operations of mature fields Teak, Samaan and Poui (TSP) Offshore Trinidad at the end of 2005. With the intention of planning further development in the TSP reservoirs...
