Oil & Gas

BP has given the final approval to develop the Ginger gas field in Trinidad and Tobago, a significant project expected to produce 62,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day at its peak. The company made this final investment decision as part of its broader strategy to focus on expanding oil and gas production.

The Ginger field, which was discovered in 2019, is located approximately 80 kilometers off the southeast coast of Trinidad, at water depths of less than 91 meters. This development is an important part of BP's ongoing efforts to enhance its production capabilities in the region.

The Ginger gas field will be BP’s fourth offshore project in Trinidad and Tobago and will be linked to one of the company's 12 existing platforms. The field's development will include four new wells and offshore trees connected to the Mahogany B offshore gas center.

The project is anticipated to begin production by 2027 and is expected to significantly contribute to BP's upstream sector operations, which will be ramping up between 2025 and 2027.

This development follows BP's plans to bring the nearby Sabre gas project online in 2025, which will help kickstart gas production in the area. The Ginger field is located east of the Kashima field, which BP sold to French company Perenco in 2024. Drilling work on the first development well for Ginger began in January 2025, with the next phase of drilling set to resume later this year.

In addition to the Ginger project, BP also announced the discovery of a new offshore gas field, Frangipani, located near the Mahogany gas field. The company is evaluating options to rapidly advance this discovery, which holds multiple gas reservoirs.

These milestones are part of BP's broader strategy to expand its presence in Trinidad and Tobago, where it has operated for over fifty years. BP remains committed to supporting the energy needs of Trinidad, Tobago, and the global market through these strategic developments.
