BPC LOGO13/01/2016 8:43 am (Energy Voice) – Bahamas Petroleum Company aims to begin drilling activity in the Caribbean this year whilst searching for a technical partner to share in the “world class” multi-billion barrel potential of the region.

The company said it is partnering discussions with numerous parties, including majors and large independent oil companies.


Despite a tumbling oil price, BPC believes the “world-class scale and robust economics” of its assets continue to attract attention and it hopes to conclude a successful partnership deal this year.

BPC’s contracted licence obligation to the Government of The Bahamas is to commence a first exploration well on the southern licence areas by April 2017.

A proposed exploration well was redesigned and the optimum location re-examined, which coupled with significant reductions to rig, contractor and services rates has allowed the company to target an obligation well cost of $50 million to $60 million, a significant reduction on previous estimates.

BPC ended 2015 with approximately $5.5million of cash – enough to continue funding overhead requirements through the farm-out and well planning phase, it said in a statement.
