bp Trinidad and Tobago (bpTT)has completed a 13 kilometre pipeline from Beachfield.
In a release on Monday, it announced the completion of its latest infrastructure upgrade project, marking its fifth significant enhancement in just six years.
This milestone was celebrated with the first transportation of hydrocarbons from bp’s Beachfield gas receiving facility to its Galeota Point terminal for processing, effectively integrating the new pipeline into the company’s existing operations, the release stated.
The project involved the installation of 13 kilometers of new six-inch diameter pipeline, carefully laid along the existing pipeline corridor. The previous pipeline, having reached the end of its design life, has been safely decommissioned.
This crucial upgrade ensures the safe and reliable operation of bpTT’s gas business, which plays a vital role in delivering resilient hydrocarbons essential to bp’s strategic objectives. The recent project follows the Trinidad offshore pipeline replacement (TOPR) project completed earlier this year, which replaced 96 kilometers of 12-inch pipeline for transporting liquids from offshore production facilities to the Galeota Point terminal.
President of bpTT David Campbell, said, “This asset integrity project was essential to be able to safely provide gas to meet our existing contractual obligations and prepares our operations for the next wave of gas developments. This is another demonstration of bpTT’s commitment to the nation and to unlocking the energy future of Trinidad and Tobago.”
