Dragon gas deal with Venezuela - DEAD!!!

[pugboy]

they don’t need the revenue from a deal with us
they making money like rain
plus the general sentiments between guyana and trinis ain’t the best
esp after rowlee make a joke about gg having votes like guyanese dollars

What is stopping us from having a gas deal with Guyana?

Their gas shoreline is already run to the coast, and plans are underway to utilise said gas. The distance to run a similar pipeline to tie in to TSP or BPTT's platforms on the maritime border, or even a new subsea installation?

True.

Seeing the actions of the UNC as treasonous for speaking out against the underhand dealings of the government with a criminal and casting no blame towards them because of such is WILDDDDDD

Right right, all hail Moonilal the treasonous corrupt patriotic freedom fighter who neck deep in he EMBD fraud and corruption case.

Anyone who could applause or celebrate that level of treason, should be dealt with a firing squad.

But anyway, it's known UNC been cynically sabotaging our attempts at diversifying the economy. What they have on the mandate to take us away from O&G when they get into power?

Mero, putting Moonilal and the UNC aside, do you think we should be having any dealings with the Maduro regime knowing their history and current behaviors?

Good question Honourable.

Aside from Venezuala being our next door neighbour and us being involved with them and doing business for decades via bilateral agreements and CARICOM BOTH under the KPB UNC and PNM administration. I didn't see KPB denouncing Maduaro or talking greasy then in 2015 when she was in power .

(See from 2015)
https://unctt.org/statement-by-prime-minister-kamla-persad-bissessar-on-visit-of-president-maduro/

We are no strangers to Venezuela's "history" and Venezuala is a sovereign state just as we are. So just as Bobbie Head said when the pretend beat up and greasy talk was there from the treasonous, fass and out of place UNC administration saying " we should Denounce Maduaro and acknowledge Guaido as president of Venezuala, WE DEAL WITH WHO IS IN CHARGE and that happened to be Maduaro (where is Guaido now btw?And what woulda be the consequences if we actually took KPB reckless statement seriously?)

Its easy talking from Oppostion who never spend more than 5 years in power.

Trinidad is too small to play power politics with big hitters.

However, there is some shaky ground now with the Trump administration mashing down ppl neck and we in the blast zone. We hadda suffer the possible consequences of the US global beef with everyone and bullying who dont comply. There are ppl who can say yea we told u so but I don't think it's ever that easy to just tell big hitters, nah we good go from here, like how KPB speaks from the POV of not being in charge.

There's was lot to gain from the DG deal for TnT. PNM and trinidad may have to take the L on this one.
Good idea, bad timing, but I am still hopeful for the best. Everything seems unpredictable now with Trump back in power, but one thing for sure is nothing about this possibly falling through is anything to celebrate or clap about, and its the weirdo UNC supporters who been in opposition for 10 years going on 15 seem most happy about. Cutting off nose to spoil face.

Yes, it is true that KPB did not denounce Maduro at the time, but there is a lot of context missing. Remember Maduro was President of Venezuela for about two years and his relationship with the US was already deteriorating. Not long after Kamla's visit was when US sanctions began against the Maduro regime by President Obama. In December 2015 the stripping of the legislative assembly disarming the opposition was when we saw Maduro becoming a dictator. Then some years later, President Trump imposed more sanctions in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Over the past decade, Maduro true colors showed.

We deal with who is in charge yes, but we also have to be wary on who we are dealing with. Rowley was warned multiple times from many quarters on having dealings with Maduro. He took a gamble, it seemed that it was making some headway, Maduro has been acting up for a while, Trump is back, and yes we are about to take an L. Now we in a monkey pants situation when it comes to our support of Guyana via Caricom against Venezuela on the Essequibo issue.

The UNC or any opposition party for that matter will try to score political points on the L we about to take with dragon gas because of Maduro's dictatorial behavior. Kamla supporting Guaido was wild and outta timing but then again, she's looking at the geopolitics of it all and just like Rowley took a gamble to deal with Maduro, she's taking a gamble to show that she would be US friendly if she gets into government.

Fully agree... good idea, bad geopolitical timing.

Blessings brother Honours. Good take.

We shall see how it unfolds, I hope it works out for T&T but there would no celebrating from me if it doesn't. Close but far.

Shell aims to bring gas from Venezuela to Trinidad in 2026, sources say

HOUSTON, March 20 (Reuters) - Shell Plc is aiming to begin producing natural gas at Venezuela's Dragon gas field and exporting it to neighboring Trinidad and Tobago in 2026, a year ahead of the original 2027 start date, according to two people familiar with the project.

The project illustrates industry hopes that there will continue to be exceptions on U.S. sanctions on Venezuela, despite recent stricter enforcement. The partners plan to start survey work next month and have decided to drill three wells, the people said, adding that it will need a renewed U.S. license later this year.

U.S. sanctions target virtually the entire Venezuelan oil and gas industry, which is controlled by state company PDVSA, meaning countries like Trinidad and private operators that abide by the measures require U.S. authorizations to export or pay revenue to sanctioned entities including the government, the central bank and PDVSA.

Such a U.S. authorizing license for Dragon was first granted in early 2023 and extended later through October 2025. Trinidad's National Gas Company said the license remains in effect. "NGC and Shell continue to work assiduously on the Dragon Project and remain committed to achieving first gas as soon as is reasonably possible," it said in a statement.

Shell did not respond to a request for comment.

Trinidad's government last month said it would brief Washington on the importance of keeping U.S. licenses to develop gas projects with Venezuela for reasons of regional energy security.

The timeline for first production is being moved up as Shell tries to secure gas supplies to ramp up production of liquefied natural gas at Trinidad's Atlantic LNG project.

Last year, the flagship Atlantic LNG project produced 8.5 million metric tons, 4 million tons short of its installed capacity, because of insufficient gas, according to preliminary data from LSEG.

Earlier this month, BP the other major shareholder in Atlantic LNG, announced that it would decommission the project's first liquefaction train, which was idled in 2020 due to lack of gas.

Dragon has an estimated 4 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves and is just across the maritime border from a Trinidad field that has a pipeline to the Atlantic LNG facility.

Shell is expected to begin an environmental baseline survey in April to look at the waves, sea currents, earth movement and marine life, as part of the engineering work to construct a roughly 10 miles (16 km) pipeline from Dragon to its facilities in Trinidad, the sources added.

Venezuela in 2023 granted a 30-year license to Shell and NGC to explore and produce the gas field. A final investment decision by Shell is expected this year, after a decision from Washington on the extension of the U.S. license.

Washington earlier this month terminated a key license for U.S. major Chevron to operate in Venezuela. Since then, there have been signals by the Trump administration that it is going to take a harder line on Venezuela. However, the U.S. has so far not announced any cancellation of licenses related to energy projects between Venezuela and Trinidad.

Trump says any country buying Venezuelan oil will face a 25% tariff:

President Donald Trump said Monday that he will impose tariffs of 25% on any nation that purchases oil from Venezuela.

“Venezuela has been very hostile to the United States and the Freedoms which we espouse. Therefore, any Country that purchases Oil and/or Gas from Venezuela will be forced to pay a Tariff of 25% to the United States on any Trade they do with our Country.” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Trump claimed, without evidence, that Venezuela has “purposefully and deceitfully” sent criminals, including violent individuals and members of gangs like Tren de Aragua, to the United States.

This news comes after reports that Trump is set to delay prior tariffs he announced, including charging 25% on imports of pharmaceuticals, cars and lumber. Those tariffs were set to go into effect April 2, the same day Trump’s said he’ll announce a number of reciprocal tariffs on other nations – a day he refers to as “liberation day.”

The first time I hear the word diversification was in primary school. Now I is a big man and we talking bout dragon deal or trinidad buss.
Current leadership too conservative. Both sides and their finance machines have too much invested in the status quo. If that is the last bit of resources left, better it stay in the ground for a future generation. Hard times might force innovation and diversification.
