On 4 September 2012 the Trinidad Minister of Energy received 12 bids from industry on 6 deepwater blocks on offer: TTDAA 1, TTDAA 5, TTDAA 6, TTDAA 28, 25(a) and TTDAA 29, and then closed out Competitive Bid Order 2012. Each block receiving a bid received multiple bids, and one block, 25(a) did not receive any bids. The bid round opened on 5 April 2012, and the original bid deadline of 30 July 2012 was extended to 4 September 2012 at the request of several industry players to allow them more time to evaluate data.   BHP Billiton was the most active company in the sale bidding on a 100% basis for four of the six blocks on offer (TTDAA 5, TTDAA 6, TTDAA 28 and TTDAA 29). Three new entrants for Trinidad placed bids including Kosmos Energy, Cairn Energy and a consortium led by an Israeli firm, Elenilto which includes partners, Socar and Caspian Drilling. The ministry will now evaluate all the bids and it plans to complete the evaluation by 16 November 2012. Another deepwater sale is being planned for 2013.
