bpTT pres­i­dent David Camp­bell says the seis­mic ac­qui­si­tion for the Man­akin-Cocuina field was com­plet­ed, and the da­ta col­lect­ed is now at the pro­cess­ing stage.

This up­date was pro­vid­ed by bpTT when the or­gan­i­sa­tion be­tween Min­is­ter of En­er­gy and En­er­gy In­dus­tries, Stu­art Young. Camp­bell al­so pro­vid­ed an up­date on bpTT’s joint ven­ture, deep wa­ter projects and the di­vest­ment of its ma­ture as­sets to Peren­co.

With re­spect to drilling op­er­a­tions, it was re­port­ed to the en­er­gy min­is­ter that drilling at the Cypre de­vel­op­ment con­tin­ues and fur­ther de­vel­op­ment drilling op­por­tu­ni­ties are be­ing eval­u­at­ed. This is in keep­ing with the en­er­gy min­is­ter’s call to get every mol­e­cule of oil and gas from the ground and bpTT’s com­mit­ment to ac­cel­er­ate gas pro­duc­tion.

With re­new­able en­er­gy al­so in bpTT’s lo­cal en­er­gy port­fo­lio, it was re­port­ed that the 92.2 megawatts (MW) so­lar project, ‘Project Lara’ con­tin­ues apace and is ex­pect­ed to be on­line by 2025.

At the meet­ing, Young em­pha­sized that stake­hold­er re­la­tion­ships are cru­cial in en­er­gy pro­duc­tion and that a more re­silient and re­spon­si­ble en­er­gy sec­tor is fos­tered through con­sis­tent­ly meet­ing and col­lab­o­rat­ing with en­er­gy sec­tor stake­hold­ers such as bpTT.
