wait wait wait, i didnt read the article fully.

the BOARD decision to mothball the plant is taken, is just for the govt share to agree to it. and that is a directive from cabinet, and that is from the MoNS small pin.

The real issue is the transfer pricing and the rules that enable BP and Shell to avoid sharing revenue based on related parties sales etc.


This is you below.

Also splits are still going to be based on shareholdings, so a unitary position would only get us the gas to run Train 1, [b]not "increase our take" The GORTT of T&T has historically placed us in the bottom feeder positions of any industries that have come here.[/b]

Our shareholding is not going to get us more revenue/increase our take if there is:
1) No gas for Train 1, yet to be addressed
2) Train 1 runs at lower capacity, which is also yet to be addressed.
3) A $300M albatross of a fully funded TAR around our necks.

Keep trying though, the deeper you go, the more amused I get, especially when you're trying to be condescending but talking stuff that belongs in a septic tank
.



You asked.me to show you where you made the stupid shareholding point...I did...yuh still vex.
I see you move the goalposts on that one.Normel.

Articles and Poten and Farrel detail why and how thing are and a structured way forward....that the GORTT seems to be following...you eh studying that, PNM don't follow reports....like the WFO you gloss over the summary without going any further.

Trains 2,3 and 4 come off contract in the next few years starting next year...all of the commercial structures being renegotiated....you still sure that it wrong.
But having train 1 run up and running while the others come off and gas frees up for renegotiation certainly is still a bad thing in your mind having already decided the TAR should wait until you ready.
You have zero knowledge about the return of the 300M...what it brings us back in return for making the commitment..yet it's an albatross....theonly certainty here is that you remain ignorant of the details to make a real judgement on the prudence and benefits of the 300M.

The simple fact that BP and Shell stated recently that gas supplies will improve 2022 ish means that things can and probably will improve gas wise...

All of this has to be taken in the context of an entire restructuring of the way TnT monetizes it's NG resources..is there risk?...of course...but that's the nature of it.We feeling the hurt from previous admins doing nothing.
BP/Shell have committed to this process...the GORTT is involved since 2015.....unlike your party who just saw money and spent it despite having knowledge of the issues.

And you still blathering.

Chupidee, at the rate which companies are packing up and leaving, there will be no one to sell it to :roll:
All that drivel you typed there and you're still just defending arseness. You have NO idea how the PNM royally facked up the nat gas industry in T&T for everyone EXCEPT BP/Shell.
Where are the companies rushing to sign up after their contracts expire? Leaving!


the companies have plants all over the world and shift operations tactically and strategically.

Methanex shuts in plants and restarts based on as do all the multinational players that are here.
So enough with the melodramatic noise.

Morning Smash...curb your enthusiasm...more information coming out.

https://trinidadexpress.com/business/lo ... 727c1.html



NO definitive decision has as yet been taken to mothball Atlantic Train I, industry insiders have said.

According to these insiders, reports of the plant being mothballed should be seen as part of the ongoing fight between BP and Royal Dutch Shell, two of the world’s largest energy companies, for control of the still lucrative liquefied natural gas (LNG) complex at Point Fortin.....
....
The news release also said it is “noteworthy that BPTT’s Cassia C platform has arrived in Trinidad and Tobago, this will add to current gas production and is a direct result of the Government’s negotiations with BPTT in 2018.” Cassia C is expected to boost BP’s natural gas production by about 500 million cubic feet at peak, when the facility is expected to be commissioned in the first half of 2022. With the commissioning of Cassia C, BP would have enough natural gas to supply to Train I in 2022, so why is the British company signalling that it wants to mothball Train I now for two years... until 2023?

BP: No gas for Train 1

The company also made it clear that there would be no gas for Atlantic’s Train 1.

“In terms of gas supply, following the disappointing results from our 2019 infill drilling programme we have since refocused our production operations on maximising production from our existing fields in the short-term, actively taking measures to offset natural declines. Even though these factors helped production at the beginning of 2020, natural declines continue to be a challenge as we manage our gas deliverability for 2021.

“While we continue to progress our Matapal and Cassia C projects, the volumes from these developments will be put towards fulfilling our existing contractual obligations for Trains 2, 3, 4 and NGC,” it said.


Full Article.
ENERGY major BP said there is no “ongoing fight” between itself and the minority shareholder of Atlantic, Royal Dutch Shell.

In a statement issued late yesterday, responding to an Express story, the London-based energy company said it has been working closely with the other Atlantic LNG shareholders and the Government to explore the restructuring of Atlantic LNG as it believes it offers an opportunity to improve operating efficiency and commercial alignment.

“It is our goal to arrive at an outcome that improves value to the country while ensuring we have a competitive energy sector that can continue to attract the investments required to keep the production profile needed to satisfy downstream and LNG demand,” the statement said.

The Express yesterday reported that no decision has yet been taken to mothball Atlantic Train I but there was an ongoing fight between BP and Shell, two of the world’s largest energy companies, for control of the still lucrative liquefied natural gas (LNG) complex at Point Fortin.

It was also reported that a proposal by Shell to have one single ownership structure for all four LNG producing trains at Atlantic—instead of the current situation in which each of the four LNG-producing facilities have different shareholdings and shareholders—would strengthen Shell’s control over Atlantic and reduce BP’s.

The Government has said that its decision to invest capital, through the National Gas Company (NGC) to keep Atlantic LNG’s Train 1 operational was “strategic” given that by 2024, it expects to have gas from the Manatee field.

The Manatee field, once known as the Loran-Manatee field, is a deepwater, cross border field between T&T and Venezuela.

Last year, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley said that the field has gas reserves of 10.07 trillion cubic feet (tcf), of which 2.71 tcf belongs to TT and 7.35 tcf belongs to Venezuela.

Based on a recovery factor of 69 per cent, Rowley had said T&T can expect to produce up to 1.872 tcf and Venezuela 5.076 tcf.

In December 2020, former energy minister Franklin Khan had told Parliament that: “Atlantic Train 1 will not be shutting down in January 2021. Train 1 will continue to operate in 2021 and will be part of wider negotiations, which have been taking place among the Atlantic LNG shareholders to form one unitised facility encompassing all four Trains.”

Khan had said that the NGC, acting on behalf of the Government, is taking the required actions to maintain the operability of Train 1, pending the finalisation of the negotiations of the structure for the unitised facility.

because even when that platform starts to produce, it will not have enough gas to supply it.

all the plants running on knife edge wrt full rates. there is no extra gas.

the deal with tringen 1 to produce hydrgen, i did some research and it will be using the natgas, cracking it, but this time, extracting the hydrogen from it. not sure if they gonna make a product and pull the excess h2, but that will not be in any significant quantities to be economically viable, so its gonna be a hyrdogen producing reformer process.

any how, the gas that they find WILL have to go to meet the obligations of other plants. lng tr1 is already not a effective producer.
so, if they hadda sacrifice one plant, it will be that one.






i wasnt saying that they SHOULD keep tr1 down.

they WHOLE arguement was, not to fund the whole TAR, when u have no gas to run the plant to recoup that money.

it would hav ebeen more feasible to just moth ball the plant, then do the TAR with only 10% of the cost, just in time to get gas and run the plant and make back that money.

the 90% shareholders wanted to mothball the plant and not even do the TAR till there was more nearer to gas being available. its rowley say he dont want to keep the pant down and decided to raid NGC to fund the WHOLEEE tar, when u only have 10% shares.
they did the tar and it still dont have gas to run, but paying all the salaries to keep people on site, cause it not mothballed.

if u dont have gas, u dont have gas. leff it down, minimize costs till u get gas to run it up. at that time u call back ur people

thats how its done. a plant doesnt run on political will/bullying/grandstanding. it runs on gas. u have none from last year for a couple years.

The continued massive fall in bpTT’s natural gas production is the main reason for the gas shortage the country continues to grapple with.

A Cabinet Note, which the Business Guardian has obtained a copy of from the Office of the Prime Minister, has revealed that bpTT’s production in May averaged just over 1 billion standard cubic feet per day (bscf/d) which is just over a half of the size of its average production last year and shows the almost free-fall in its output since the end of 2020.

The Cabinet note read, “There was an estimated 2% decrease in natural gas production from 2,559 MMscf/d in April 2021 to an estimated 2,497 MMscf/d in May 2021. EOG and BHP had production increases of 83 and 40 MMscf/d respectively.

However these were counteracted by a 185 MMscf/d decrease in production from BpTT. The major driver of the decrease was the BPTT Juniper platform being offline for 15 days.”

bpTT’s low natural gas production was one of the major reasons that Atlantic LNG’s trains 2,3 and 4 saw plummeting output in May.

The Cabinet Note reported that in May gas sales to Atlantic LNG decreased by 219 MMscf/d.

The Note revealed that there was a 19% decrease in LNG production from an average of 30,775,486 MMBTU in April 2021 to 24,891,291 in May 2021.

“The Atlantic decrease was driven by lack of supply due to reduced BpTT production with the Juniper platform being offline for planned works and Shell onshore Beachfield facility being offline from May 22. Trains II and IV were online at reduced rates for the entire month. Train III came online from the 7th May 2021 at reduced rates. Train I remained down.” The Cabinet was told.

The problems with bpTT and to some extent lower output from Shell has meant significant lost revenue opportunity for the country even as LNG prices are strong and petrochemical prices have rebounded.

It is also the reason that Train 1 will be mothballed in the coming weeks and why the decision of the Mark Loquan management and NGC Board to invest a quarter billion dollars into an ill fated attempt to save Train 1, that now seems all but lost, has raised so much concern.

We still have CEPEP, URP and WASA etc feeding troughs for PNM supporters as money is no problem, waiz one lil mothballed plant.

But a LFD RFD PNM dotish sheep you is!
I see you took a page from your equally dotish LFD RFD PNM brother Tunts7, and now relying on semantics. Did you or didn't you dismiss the $300M and say "we still ahead?" Care to tell us how much ahead we are now?
No? Your kant well shut now that the ones you leaned on so heavily like BP etc, have now come out and said there is no gas, and the plant is heading for mothball status. No one with a modicum of sense, (that's you Colos :wink:) would read that passage, and not recognize the colossal blunder that the LFD RFD PNM and their energy wizards :roll: JUHN Scarfy and Goebbels foisted on us.

Trinidad Express July 19 2021

The Express yesterday reported that no decision has yet been taken to mothball Atlantic Train I but there was an ongoing fight between BP and Shell, two of the world’s largest energy companies, for control of the still lucrative liquefied natural gas (LNG) complex at Point Fortin.


It was also reported that a proposal by Shell to have one single ownership structure for all four LNG producing trains at Atlantic—instead of the current situation in which each of the four LNG-producing facilities have different shareholdings and shareholders—would strengthen Shell’s control over Atlantic and reduce BP’s.

The Government has said that its decision to invest capital, through the National Gas Company (NGC) to keep Atlantic LNG’s Train 1 operational was “strategic” given that by 2024, it expects to have gas from the Manatee field.

The Manatee field, once known as the Loran-Manatee field, is a deepwater, cross border field between T&T and Venezuela.



Last year, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley said that the field has gas reserves of 10.07 trillion cubic feet (tcf), of which 2.71 tcf belongs to TT and 7.35 tcf belongs to Venezuela.

Based on a recovery factor of 69 per cent, Rowley had said T&T can expect to produce up to 1.872 tcf and Venezuela 5.076 tcf.

In December 2020, former energy minister Franklin Khan had told Parliament that: “Atlantic Train 1 will not be shutting down in January 2021. Train 1 will continue to operate in 2021 and will be part of wider negotiations, which have been taking place among the Atlantic LNG shareholders to form one unitised facility encompassing all four Trains.”

Khan had said that the NGC, acting on behalf of the Government, is taking the required actions to maintain the operability of Train 1, pending the finalisation of the negotiations of the structure for the unitised facility.

No? Your kant well shut now that the ones you leaned on so heavily like BP etc, have now come out and said there is no gas, and the plant is heading for mothball status. No one with a modicum of sense, (that's you Colos :wink:) would read that passage, and not recognize the colossal blunder that the LFD RFD PNM and their energy wizards :roll: JUHN Scarfy and Goebbels foisted on us.

ENERGY major BP said there is no “ongoing fight” between itself and the minority shareholder of Atlantic, Royal Dutch Shell.

In a statement issued late yesterday, responding to an Express story, the London-based energy company said it has been working closely with the other Atlantic LNG shareholders and the Government to explore the restructuring of Atlantic LNG as it believes it offers an opportunity to improve operating efficiency and commercial alignment.

“It is our goal to arrive at an outcome that improves value to the country while ensuring we have a competitive energy sector that can continue to attract the investments required to keep the production profile needed to satisfy downstream and LNG demand,” the statement said.








The company also made it clear that there would be no gas for Atlantic’s Train 1.

“In terms of gas supply, following the disappointing results from our 2019 infill drilling programme we have since refocused our production operations on maximising production from our existing fields in the short-term, actively taking measures to offset natural declines. Even though these factors helped production at the beginning of 2020, natural declines continue to be a challenge as we manage our gas deliverability for 2021.

“While we continue to progress our Matapal and Cassia C projects, the volumes from these developments will be put towards fulfilling our existing contractual obligations for Trains 2, 3, 4 and NGC,” it said.

If I'm wrong I'm wrong ....I have no issue with that...of course there is plenty yet to happen.

BP of course has changed their tune, as they are wont to do.
.As you say don't trust them.

Of course the point of the unitisation is to get away from the BP and Shells steering gas to specific trains,train one being the train that TnT has most visibility on the sales and marketing aspect.
BP also said all of that too.

https://www.bp.com/en_tt/trinidad-and-t ... antic.html

So we will see.

As to you and your lie well it went from you being definitive to semantics.
As usual you moving the goal post.

What I said was posted by Smash...take a bit and read it.

The 300 is less than BP and She'll paid to settle the transfer pricing racket, and until we know what the rest of the deal is we don't know what the return on that 300 is.
ETA: That said BP agreed to pay 1B USD to GORTT for the settlement of legacy issues- which as Poten states was a loss of 6B USD per year 2010-2014...
Was the TAR a condition a concession or a rank speculation on the GORTT s part.?
Smash posted a model that put payback north of 10 years...
So classifying it as wrong is pure speculation on your part. And yes we all know yuh wok dey...but unless you have access to that info..'yuh wok dey 'is irrelevant.

The return on that 300 could be zero or a bazillion.
It's yet to be determined.
But hey continue to lather yourself up...Zoom seems to be enjoying the visuals.Allyuh seem into that kinda exchange.
