Oil production from the field began on 9 January, having been preceded by first gas production on 16 December. The new facility was commissioned just 40 months after the discovery of crude oil at the Kairi-1 exploration well in 2001.
Start-up from Angostura represents the first oil production from the northeast coast of Trinidad. Initial oil production is expected to be around 60,000 barrels of oil per day, while the bulk of the produced gas is being re-injected to support oil production.
