The start-up date for the Cannonball project had been scheduled for the fourth quarter last year, but was delayed due to problems with construction of the pipeline stretching between Cannonball and the Cassia processing hub on the mainland, the company said. BPTT discovered several small dents on a 200-m section of the pipeline last November. After evaluating the damage, a specialist contractor began cutting out and replacing the damaged sections of the line in mid-December. "We are now in the process of commissioning the pipeline and are moving to get gas flowing as soon as possible. Once the pipeline is operational, we expect to bring the field into supply gradually over a period of about a month," a spokesman said. "The expectation is that the wells will be high-rate gas producers and some of the biggest wells in BP's portfolio worldwide," he continued. The project is designed to produce some 800m cuft/d of gas which will assist in meeting BPTT's gas supply commitments to Atlantic LNG's train 4. BPTT will be the largest supplier of gas to the train, with a gas entitlement of about 300m cuft/d. Train 4 began liquefaction on 16 December, and has a capacity of some 5.2m tons/yr of LNG, requiring about 800m cuft/d of gas supplies. BP has a 37.78% stake in train 4, with other partners being British Gas (28.89%), Spain's Repsol YPF (22.22%), and the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago (11.11%).
