bp Trinidad and Tobago (bpTT) made the final investment decision (FID) on the ginger gas development and confirmed a gas discovery at its Frangipani exploration well.
The company announced on March 27 that Ginger will be its fourth subsea project and will include four subsea wells and subsea trees tied back to the Mahogany B platform. First gas is expected in 2027. The project is one of ten major developments bp expects to start between 2025 and 2027. At peak, it is expected to produce 62,000. barrels of oil equivalent per day.

The Ginger project, along with bpTT’s Cypre gas project set to begin in 2025, aligns with the company’s strategy to maximize production from existing acreage and develop cost-efficient projects using existing infrastructure. It noted that the development meets expected returns and is part of its capital expenditure plans. bp intends to apply insights from prior subsea projects to ensure a swift and safe market delivery.
Drilling at Frangipani has identified multiple stacked gas reservoirs within the same geological structure. Options are being assessed to accelerate the development of the discovery.

bpTT holds a 100% working interest in both Ginger and Frangipani.
bpTT President David Campbell stated that, “With Frangipani, our objective was to prove that our continued progress in exploration and appraisal activity could unlock new fields and investment opportunities for the region. He added that with the Ginger now on stream, the company is committed to the development of resources in existing acreage and producing gas that “Trinidad and Tobago and the world needs”.
Ginger is located 50 miles off Trinidad’s southeast coast in waters less than 300 feet deep. Drilling on the first well began in January and will resume in Q4 2025. Frangipani is east of the Mahogany field, also 50 miles off the southeast coast.
