Exploration and Production
The East Coast Marine Area off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago plays an important role in Chevron's global exploration and production program.
Through our subsidiary Chevron Trinidad and Tobago Resources SRL, we have a 50 percent nonoperated working interest in three blocks in the East Coast Marine Area. They include the Dolphin and Dolphin Deep natural gas fields and the Starfish development.
The Dolphin Field consists of a 13-well platform, and the Dolphin Deep Field consists of two subsea wells tied back to the Dolphin platform. In 2012, net daily production from the Dolphin and Dolphin Deep fields averaged 173 million cubic feet of natural gas.
Development of the Starfish Field began in the third quarter of 2012 and includes drilling four development wells and a subsea tieback to the Dolphin A platform. Natural gas production is expected to begin in 2014 and will supply existing contractual commitments.
Chevron has a 50 percent operating interest in the Manatee area of Block 6(d). This discovery is a single cross-border field with Venezuela's Loran Field in Block 2. In 2012, work continued on maturing commercial development concepts.
Chevron also has a 50 percent interest in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) marketing and transportation company, Trinlng Ltd, that ships and sells LNG to markets worldwide.
