Currently, the oil fields produce 20,500 boe/d. Production facilities include three platforms, 10 drilling satellites, and one compression satellite. Plans are in place to develop the Onyx gas field.
Repsol YPF currently produces in Trinidad & Tobago through its 30% participation in BPTT, 120,000 boe/d gas liquefying plant. In 4Q 2005 the fourth train is scheduled for startup. This train has the largest capacity in the world, according to Repsol, which holds a 22.22 % stake.
