Serrette will be linked to the existing pipeline for export through the Cassia B gas processing hub.
“Detailed engineering is 99% complete,” Winston Mohammed, a project manager at BP Trinidad & Tobago, said in a presentation posted on the Web site.
London-based BP plans to raise and maintain production at its Caribbean unit at about 500,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, according to its Web site.
The unit currently pumps about 460,000 barrels per day, or 55% of the nation’s oil and gas output.
In October, BP said it started gas production at the Savonette field off Trinidad.
The unit, in which Spain’s Repsol YPF holds 30%, plans to invest $500 million in projects this year, according to Mohammed.
It invested about $600 million in projects last year, according to BP’s Web site.
BP and engineering giant WorleyParsons are designing the Juniper project, which will tap the Coralita and Lantana fields located about 52 miles east of Galeota Point, Mohammed according to a Reuters report.
BP Trinidad and Tobago also plans to upgrade its Galeota Terminal to improve gas condensate handling operations and water discharging facilities.
The company is also reviewing plans to boost gas production from offshore fields, Mohammed said.
