Perenco T&T Limited, operator of the Teak, Samaan and Poui fields, has announced the successful drilling of the Onyx well and sidetrack, located in the eastern section of the Onyx field. The drilling campaign encountered significant natural gas columns in two distinct geological compartments, marking a promising step forward for the undeveloped field.
Situated in a water depth of 180 feet, the Onyx field lies between the Poui and Teak fields off the southeast coast of Trinidad. It is part of the TSP licence, a joint venture between Perenco T&T Limited, Heritage Petroleum Company Limited, and The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (NGC).
The subsurface data obtained is now under detailed review, with development options to be evaluated as the project progresses towards a potential Final Investment Decision.
Gregoire de Courcelles, general manager of Perenco T&T, commented on the achievement:
“I am very proud of the successful results of the Onyx wells. Our objective was to prove sufficient gas reserves to unlock field development. The wells’ findings are testimony to the hydrocarbon potential which remains in the TSP acreage and highlight Perenco’s commitment to provide future supplies of natural gas to Trinidad and Tobago. I would like to thank our partners, Heritage Petroleum and NGC, for their unwavering support in this project and congratulate all teams involved in completing this operation safely and efficiently.”
This discovery represents a significant milestone in Perenco’s long-term strategy for Trinidad and Tobago, reinforcing its growing role as a key gas supplier to the local market.
