BP Trinidad and Tobago (bpTT) announced yesterday the completion of its fifth infrastructure upgrade project in six years.
“As part of the milestone, first hydrocarbons were transported from bp’s Beachfield gas receiving facility to its Terminal at Galeota Point for processing—completing the integration of this new infrastructure into its existing operations,” a release from bpTT stated yesterday.
According to bpTT, the project included the installation of 13 kilometres of new pipeline, measuring six inches in diameter and was installed along the current pipeline corridor.
It said the existing pipeline, which has come to the end of its design life, has now been taken safely out of service.
“This critical infrastructure upgrade project helps underpin safe and reliable operations. This project follows the recent Trinidad offshore pipeline replacement (TOPR) project completed in 2023 which involved the replacement of 96km of 12-inch pipeline for the transportation of liquids from bp’s production facilities offshore to the terminal at Galeota point,” it stated.
