Prime minister Dr Keith Rowley has lauded the proposed Dragon Gas deal between T&T and Venezuela as an example of government-to-government cooperation in the monetising of natural gas resources.
And Rowley said he believes other cooperations within the region can also come to fruition as T&T provides a viable option for those countries that wish to optimise the monetisation of their hydrocarbon resources without incurring substantial capita expenditure and delay.
“In today’s economic environment however investments in enabling infrastructure and technology can be costly even to the point of being prohibitive. t&t has the energy infrastructure to monetise hydrocarbon resources produced by its Caribbean neighbours and can do that now. the country possesses, 10 ammonia plants, seven methanol plants, four LNG plants and an iron and steel complex,” Rowley said.
Rowley also touted the mothballed refinery in Pointe-a-Pierre for those in search of a refinery.
“This refinery and its supporting infrastructure are available for restart, upgrade and use on reasonable terms to any interested refiner or crude supplier,” he said.
