Shell PLC on Friday signed an agreement to supply Trinidad and Tobago’s National Gas Company (NGC) with natural gas through 2036, including from the yet-to-be developed Manatee offshore field, according to the state gas company.
Trinidad and Tobago’s government is pressing gas producers to accelerate supplies for the county’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) output, and for its petrochemical and power sectors, which are operating at reduced capacity amid a gas shortfall.
Under the deal, Shell would provide NGC with at least 150 million cubic feet per day (mcfd) of gas from the Manatee offshore field, part of the shared Trinidad-Venezuela Loran-Manatee discovery, estimated to hold 10 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of natural gas.
