EAST COAST MARINE AREA (ECMA)
The BG Group-operated Dolphin gas
field, located 83 kilometres off the east
coast of Trinidad in Block 6(b), commenced
production in 1996. The asset is contracted
to supply 250 mmscfd gas to the National
Gas Company (NGC) under a 20-year supply
contract together with 100 mmscfd to
Atlantic Train 3 and 120 mmscfd to Atlantic
Train 4. A new production contract to supply
220 mmscfd of gas to NGC for up to 15 years
commenced in July 2009. To enable delivery
of this new supply, the drilling of five further
development wells in the Dolphin field was
completed in April 2009.
The gas is produced under a Combined
Development Plan for the fields in Blocks 5(a),
6 and E. Production is currently delivered
from the Dolphin field through 13 platform
wells and the Dolphin Deep field from two
sub-sea wells. These wells were the first
sub-sea completions in Trinidad and Tobago.
The Dolphin Deep sub-sea facilities are tied
back to facilities on the Dolphin platform.
ECMA gas is delivered to NGC via a pipeline
to the Poui platform where it connects
to the domestic network. Gas is delivered
to Atlantic LNG through a second offshore
pipeline bringing gas from the Dolphin
platform to shore at the Beachfield
receiving terminal. It then connects to
NGC’s 76 kilometre onshore Cross Island
Pipeline extending from Beachfield to
Atlantic LNG at Point Fortin.

the Manatee-1 well in Block 6(d) in the ECMA,
which indicated gross reserves of 1.8 tcf. This
discovery demonstrated the extension of the
Loran field from Venezuela into Block 6(d) in
