North Coast Marine Area 4
The NCMA 4 Block is located in shallow water (100-300’) off the northwest coast of Tobago. Sedimentation occurred in the Miocene – Pliocene, depositing shelfal sands, which are currently under production in the Hibiscus, Chaconia and Poinsettia Fields, located to the southwest of the block. Five wells were drilled in this block including LL 9-1, which discovered the Iris Field and KK6-1, which discovered the Orchid Field.
