Trinidad, bP and Shell to restructure atlantic Lng

摘要

The government of Trinidad and Tobago has agreed with BP and Shell to discuss restructuring the 14.8mn t/yr Atlantic LNG export project to try to forestall the shutdown of liquefaction Train 1, which represents 20pc of capacity. BP and Shell are the Caribbean country’s leading natural gas producers and top shareholders in the Atlantic facility in southwest Trinidad. The pioneering complex, which was frst established in 1999, has been hamstrung by limited domestic feedstock in recent years. And a Shell-led plan to supplement domestic supply with pipeline gas imports from Venezuela starting this year fell apart amid turmoil in the neighbouring country.
