Perenco T&T Limited has announced that it has installed the first platform in the Teak, Samaan and Poui (TSP) Block in four decades.
On 27th September 2022, the Macarius Power successfully sailed from Caribbean Dockyard, “Caridoc”, Chaguaramas to its new home at the Poui Alpha Complex, located off the south-east coast of Trinidad, in the TSP Block operated by Perenco.
At the beginning of 2021, Perenco, together with its Partners, Heritage and NGC, decided to launch an ambitious plan to modernize the operations of the TSP Block. A decommissioned jack-up drilling rig was brought to Trinidad & Tobago and was completely refurbished at Caridoc, using entirely local labor and expertise. The Macarius Power forms the heart of the electrification project of the whole Teak, Samaan and Poui fields. It will provide the TSP platforms with clean, reliable electrical power, generated with high efficiency gas turbines, contributing towards a 30% reduction in the carbon footprint of the asset over the next three years, in alignment with the country’s sustainability goal.
“In an impressively short amount of time, the teams worked safely, diligently, and efficiently until Macarius Power was ready for sailing. We are sincerely grateful for the successful collaborations between Perenco, its Partners, all contractors, and the Trinidad & Tobago Authorities. The Macarius Power provides a pivotal steppingstone towards the future of a modern TSP and its continued operations for years to come. In its ability to develop innovative and tailormade designs and solutions, Perenco reaffirms its commitment towards responsibly enhancing and developing Trinidad and Tobago’s energy sector and its local resources through sustainable operations.”, Grégoire de Courcelles, General Manager, Perenco T&T Limited
