Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley has toured the Trinidad Offshore Fabricators Unlimited’s (Tofco) fabrication yard in La Brea where the Mento Platform is being constructed.
A statement issued from bpTT yesterday explained that the Mento development is a 50/50 joint venture between bpTT and EOG Resources Trinidad Ltd (EOG), with EOG as the operator.
David Campbell, president, bpTT who commented on the tour which took place yesterday said, “It was an honour to host the prime minister along with my colleagues from EOG and Tofco.
“Mento demonstrates the importance of collaboration in unlocking T&T’s energy resources. The partnership between bpTT and EOG has grown from strength to strength since our first joint development, EMZ in 2011. Mento will be the fourth joint venture development between bpTT and EOG and I look forward to working together as we explore future opportunities.”
First gas is expected in 2025.
During the tour Rowley was accompanied by representatives from EOG, bpTT and Tofco including George Vieira, managing director, EOG; Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath, executive vice-president, bp, gas and low carbon energy, David Campbell, president, bpTT and Javed Mohammed, general manager, Tofco.
