Project Details

Background

The ECMA Development Pipeline runs through the East Coast Marine Area (ECMA), which comprises the Dolphin, Dolphin Deep and Starfish gas fields off Trinidad's east coast. The Dolphin field is located in block 6(b), the Dolphin Deep field is located in block 5(a) and the Starfish field straddles blocks 5(a) and E.[3]

The 97-kilometer pipeline connects the Dolphin platform with the Beachfield receiving terminal onshore, which further connects to National Gas Company’s 76km onshore Cross Island Pipeline stretching from Beachfield to the Atlantic LNG Terminal at Point Fortin.[3]

BG Group, a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, originally operated the ECMA jointly with Chevron Trinidad and Tobago Resources.[1] In 2017, Royal Dutch Shell acquired Chevron's interest in the ECMA and assumed 100% ownership.[2][5]
