Make a difference in Barbados

摘要

A proven petroleum system main course garnished with an enthusiastic government and topped off with a reasonable government take should draw hungry oil and gas companies to the first offshore licensing round ever staged by Barbados. The proven petroleum system is sourced from the same Orinoco complex that is active in Venezuela. Closer production comes from Woodbourne field onshore in southeastern Barbados, where 240 wells -with 80 to 100 working at any one time - produce 1,000 b/d of light, sweet oil and 1.6 MMcf/d of gas. The island nation uses 8,000 b/d of oil. That's one reason for the government enthusiasm about the licensing round.
