Two key meet­ings were held be­tween gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials and en­er­gy sec­tor ex­ec­u­tives on Mon­day.

Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad Bisses­sar, along with Min­is­ter of En­er­gy Dr. Roodal Mooni­lal, Min­is­ter in the Min­istry of En­er­gy and En­er­gy In­dus­tries Ernesto Ke­sar met with of­fi­cials of Pro­man.

Ac­cord­ing to a news re­lease, from the Min­istry of En­er­gy, the Prime Min­is­ter and her en­er­gy min­is­ters met with David Cas­sidy, Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer, Pro­man AG as well as Anand Rag­bir, Man­ag­ing Di­rec­tor, Pro­man Trinidad and Giselle Thomp­son, Deputy Man­ag­ing Di­rec­tor, Pro­man Trinidad.

The Min­istry re­lease out­lined, "The meet­ing was very fruit­ful with dis­cus­sions fo­cussed on Pro­man’s com­mit­ment to pur­su­ing fur­ther in­vest­ment in both the up­stream sec­tor and the down­stream sec­tor as it lever­ages 'its en­tre­pre­neur­ial spir­it,' to ad­vance op­por­tu­ni­ties in Trinidad and To­ba­go notwith­stand­ing chal­lenges of gas cur­tail­ments, geopo­lit­i­cal risks and volatile glob­al mar­kets. The com­pa­ny high­light­ed its aim of part­ner­ing with the Gov­ern­ment to ad­vance op­por­tu­ni­ties that will sup­port its vi­sion of Trinidad and To­ba­go's re-emer­gence as the en­er­gy hub of the re­gion."

Min­is­ters Mooni­lal and Ke­sar al­so met with Glob­al Pe­tro­le­um Group on Mon­day.

In a re­lease, the min­ster ex­plained an in­tro­duc­to­ry meet­ing was held with the GPG team, at which the min­is­ters along with the Min­istry's Per­ma­nent Sec­re­tary (Ag.) Karin­sa Tulsie and Deputy Per­ma­nent Sec­re­tary Marc Rud­der met with Mr. Ed­uard Vasi­lyev, Ex­ec­u­tive Di­rec­tor, Glob­al Pe­tro­le­um Group and Leonid Mironov, Fi­nance and Cor­po­rate Af­fairs Of­fi­cer, Glob­al Pe­tro­le­um Group (GPG) on 23 June 2025.

GPG is an oil and gas com­pa­ny en­gaged in ex­plo­ration and ap­praisal ac­tiv­i­ties off Grena­da's south­ern coast, close to the Patao/Drag­on fields in Venezuela and the North Coast Ma­rine Area (NC­MA) fields in Trinidad. In 2018, GPG suc­cess­ful­ly es­tab­lished a com­mer­cial agree­ment with the Na­tion­al Gas Com­pa­ny of Trinidad and To­ba­go (NGC).

The Min­istry of En­er­gy ex­plained this part­ner­ship emerged from the En­er­gy Sec­tor De­vel­op­ment Frame­work Agree­ment signed in 2012 be­tween the Gov­ern­ments of Trinidad and To­ba­go and Grena­da. The agree­ment was seen as a ma­jor step in Cari­com’s en­er­gy col­lab­o­ra­tion, fos­ter­ing eco­nom­ic growth in the re­gion.

The re­lease said build­ing on this frame­work agree­ment, Min­is­ter Mooni­lal reaf­firmed the Gov­ern­ment’s com­mit­ment to col­lab­o­rate with Grena­da and to ac­tive­ly pur­sue dis­cus­sions aimed at strate­gi­cal­ly strength­en­ing these bi­lat­er­al re­la­tions. Dis­cus­sions sur­round­ed GPG’s con­tin­u­a­tion of drilling ac­tiv­i­ty in Grena­di­an wa­ters and the re­new­al of the NGC-GPG part­ner­ship.

The re­lease added, "The Ho­n­ourable Min­is­ter al­so pro­vid­ed as­sur­ance to en­gage in fol­low up dis­cus­sions to in­clude all lo­cal par­ties and GPG with a view to ex­plor­ing all op­tions to ad­vance the part­ner­ship. "
