Shell (LON: SHEL) has started up gas production from the Colibri tie back project in the Caribbean.
It will allow for the delivery of has both domestically and internationally through Atlantic LNG, with the supermajor hailing the start up as a “significant milestone”.
Colibri is a backfill project that is expected to add approximately 30,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) of sustained near-term production.
Yields are expected to peak at around 43,000 boe/d through a series of four subsea gas wells, tied back to the existing Poinsettia Platform located in the North Coast Marine Area, north of Trinidad.
Start-up follows the amendment to the Block 6 Production Sharing Contract for the Manatee natural gas field.
Wael Sawan, Shell’s director of integrated gas, renewable and energy solutions, said: “I am proud of the team in Trinidad and Tobago for their commitment to safely delivering this project on time.
“This reinforces the delivery of Shell’s Powering Progress strategy in country, as we seek to provide more and cleaner energy solutions, globally.
“Colibri, along with other development projects, will see natural gas going into both the domestic petrochemical markets and into LNG exports, in line with the energy ambitions of Trinidad and Tobago.”
