(Americas) - BP Trinidad and Tobago's $250 million facility is expected to be brought up to full production rates over the next few weeks when gas output will be about 800 MMcf/d (140 MMboe/d), about 25% of the company's overall production.

The Cannonball wells will be high-rate gas producers, and will be among the most productive wells in BP's worldwide portfolio, says the company.

Cannonball is located 35 km off the coast of Galeota Point, Mayaro in water depths of 231 ft.
