Heritage Petroleum Company Limited has unveiled its latest offshore oil well, S-938.
Situated within the Soldado East Field, the said S-938 well is poised to make a substantial contribution to the company’s revenue with an expected average daily rate of 500 barrels of oil per day (b/d), according to a release from the Trinidad and Tobago Energy Chamber.

The commissioning of S-938 is the third well to be put into production as part of Heritage’s Offshore Drilling program. Drilling reportedly commenced in August 2023, followed by design and engineering efforts, culminating in the completion of the topsides in March 2024.
Erik Keskula, Heritage’s Chief Executive Officer, expressed gratitude to the company and contractor personnel for their dedicated efforts in safely delivering this new production to Trinidad and Tobago.
