We also hold production sharing contracts for 889,600 acres in Trinidad and Tobago’s deepwater acreage.Through our heritage companies, Amoco Trinidad Oil Company and BP Amoco, we have been operating in Trinidad and Tobago since 1961, producing our first barrel of crude oil in 1972. We are now the country’s largest hydrocarbon producer, accounting for more than half of Trinidad and Tobago’s national production of oil and gas. Overall, our operations are responsible for the employment of a growing workforce both directly and indirectly through contractors and independent operators.
Natural gas accounts for much of bpTT’s total hydrocarbon production, and gas sales average approximately two billion standard cubic feet daily.
