BHP Group has stepped up exploration drilling in deep water off Trinidad and Tobago hunting for gas which could supply the country’s Atlantic LNG (liquefied natural gas) plant in the 2020s, a senior executive said.
The company expects to complete drilling of three wells in block 14, located in its northern contract area, by the middle of this year, Niall McCormack, BHP’s vice president for exploration, said on the sidelines of the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston.
