Trinity operates producing and development assets both onshore and offshore, in the shallow water West and East Coasts of Trinidad.

The Company operates all of its nine licences and, across all of the Group's assets, management's estimate of 2P reserves as at the end of 2015 was 20.9 MMbbls (excluding the Guapo-1 license which was disposed of in April 2016). Group 2C contingent resources are estimated to be 19.8 MMbbls. The Group's overall 2P plus 2C volumes are therefore 40.7 MMbbls.
