Shell commissions Subsea7 for Aphrodite T&I offshore Trinidad and Tobago
June 9, 2025
The project involves the transportation and installation (T&I) of subsea equipment at the Aphrodite development, located within Block 5a, at water depths of up to 290 m.
The Aphrodite Field, discovered in 2022 on Block 5a, is in water depths of up to 290 m.
Shell plans a single subsea tieback to infrastructure serving the Barracuda subsea network, with the gas exported via Shell’s Dolphin A platform, both to the domestic market via the National Gas Co. of Trinidad and Tobago, and the Shell-operated onshore Beachfield gas processing center for LNG to overseas buyers.
Subsea7 will shortly start project management and engineering activities at its offices in Houston, Texas, with offshore operations scheduled for 2027.
The East Coast Marine Area currently hosts gas production from some of Shell’s largest fields in the country such as Bounty, Dolphin, Endeavour and Starfish.
