Project Profile
Value: US$2 billion
Location: Trinidad and Tobago
Production: 500 mmcf (14 mcm) per day
Start-up year: August 2017
The project will feature the construction of a normally unmanned platform together with corresponding subsea infrastructure, a first for BP Trinidad and Tobago. Fabrication is proposed to begin in 4th quarter, 2014. The Juniper facility will take gas from the Corallita and Lantana fields located 50 miles off the south east coast of Trinidad in water-depth of approximately 360 feet. The development will include five subsea wells and will have a production capacity of approximately 590 million standard cubic feet a day (mmscfd). Gas from Juniper will flow to the Mahogany B hub via a new ten kilometre flow-line. Juniper will become bpTT’s 14th offshore production facility. Drilling is due to commence in 2015 and first gas from the facility is expected in 2017.
Operators:
BP: Operator with 100% interest
Contractors:
Technip: EPIC lump sum contract for the development of the Juniper project, to be located off the South East coast of Trinidad with the scope of work consisting of design, detailed engineering, procurement, construction, load out and mechanical completion of: 4,300 short ton topsides that can process 590 million standard cubic feet per day of gas, 6,100 short ton jacket.
The contract will also cover the design, detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, transport, installation and pre-commissioning of:
- 5 off, 10” and 8” internal diameter flexible flow lines.

InterMoor Inc. (Acteon company): Foundation installation project. The final stage of the project involved hooking up Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc.’s Ocean Victory semisubmersible drilling rig to the preset mooring spread InterMoor had previously installed. This step marks the completion of InterMoor’s mooring and foundation installation campaign for BP Trinidad and Tobago’s (bpTT) Juniper gas project. The hookup took less than four days and required 14 InterMoor personnel offshore, including rig coordinators and superintendents, riggers and engineers aboard the UOS Pathfinder anchor-handling vessel. Before the hookup, InterMoor successfully completed a contract with bpTT, which included the initial design of a mooring system, the fabrication of driven piles and the installation of a preset mooring spread. InterMoor designed and fabricated eight piles (1.2 m in diameter by 39 m long) at its facility in Morgan City, USA, and provided offshore project management services for the mooring preset campaign. This included installing the driven piles using H-links and 300 m of ground chain per leg from the Boa Deep C construction vessel. The mooring solution engineering began in 2011 and offshore installation was completed in early November 2014. The hookup was completed in May 2015.
