LONDON--BP PLC (BP.LN) said Thursday it is starting up the Trinidad onshore compression project, with full capacity expected over the next few months, as part of the oil major's plan to bring 500,000 barrels a day of new production online by the end of 2017.

The start-up is one of seven major upstream projects BP expects to bring online in 2017 and paves the way for Juniper, the other major project start-up in Trinidad and Tobago, this year it said.

BP said that when fully on stream, the onshore compression facility will have the potential to deliver 200 million standard cubic feet of gas a day.
