What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

ExxonMobil is conducting exploration in the TTUD-1 block off Trinidad and Tobago’s east coast, which covers about 7,765 square kilometres and features water depths exceeding 2,000 metres. The company operates the block with a 90% interest, following a production-sharing contract signed with the Trinidad and Tobago government in August 2025. Seismic results are expected by the end of the year, with an exploration well potentially scheduled for late 2027 or early 2028.
