Bayfield Energy (LON:BEH), the oil and gas exploration and production company, has kicked off production from its B3 development well on the Trintes field, offshore Trinidad.
As part of ongoing development drilling programme in the Trintes field, B3 has been completed and is currently producing at a stabilised rate of 536 barrels of oil per day (bopd). Bayfield said the well confirmed the production potential of the M Sand in the south-west part of the field where three further development wells are planned to be drilled this year.
Following the completion of B3, Rig #2 will undertake a programme of workovers to replace pumps on six production wells on Bravo platform. The programme is aiming to achieve additional incremental production of 250-300 bopd and is also expected to increase the reliability of these wells by eliminating all dependence on ageing hydraulic powered oil pump systems.
The latest reported production rate from the Trintes field has now increased to over 2,300 bopd – up from 1,735 bopd in June.
