At approximately 9pm local time on Monday 10th April a generator-related fire occurred on Trinity’s Bravo Platform in the Trintes Field, injuring four people.
According to the operator company, Trinity Exploration & Production, four workers were onboard Trintes Bravo at the time of the incident with two sustaining minor burns and all four were impacted due to smoke inhalation. All workers received medical treatment for minor injuries and continue to be monitored.
A multi-disciplinary team was mobilized to the Bravo platform to comprehensively assess the exact cause and extent of damage arising from the incident and the remediation required to return the facility to service. The damage is limited to a generator with the platform structure and other platform electricals and equipment in good order.
The Company estimates replacement of the generator and associated repairs on the Bravo platform will be completed within three to four days and will initiate production restart in a phased manner once approval is received from the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries.
Alpha and Delta crews also conducted precautionary checks ahead of restarting oil production which commenced late evening on Tuesday 11 April 2023, with all previously producing wells coming back online overnight.
As is normally the case with any shut down and restart, well flow rates will be optimized over the coming days to attain pre-shut-in production levels.
