Trinidad and To­ba­go is one of 14 in­ter­na­tion­al coun­try pavil­ions be­ing fea­tured at the 2024 Off­shore Tech­nol­o­gy Con­fer­ence (OTC) cur­rent­ly tak­ing place in Hous­ton, Texas.

“State-owned Na­tion­al En­er­gy Cor­po­ra­tion of Trinidad & To­ba­go Lim­it­ed (Na­tion­al En­er­gy) is the lead for the pro­mo­tion of the coun­try’s di­verse range of en­er­gy ser­vices at this pres­ti­gious glob­al event that brings to­geth­er in­dus­try lead­ers, in­vestors, buy­ers, and en­tre­pre­neurs in the off­shore en­er­gy sec­tor,” a re­lease from the En­er­gy Min­istry stat­ed.

Na­tion­al En­er­gy has es­tab­lished its pres­ence through a ded­i­cat­ed Coun­try Pavil­ion at Booth #4747 to con­nect with po­ten­tial part­ners and show­case T&T’s com­pre­hen­sive range of en­er­gy ser­vices, in­clud­ing up­stream, mid­stream, down­stream, en­gi­neer­ing, in­fra­struc­ture, lo­gis­tics, and pro­fes­sion­al ser­vices.

“This par­tic­i­pa­tion at OTC sig­ni­fies Trinidad and To­ba­go’s com­mit­ment to be a leader in the pro­vi­sion of en­er­gy ser­vices to the in­ter­na­tion­al en­er­gy mar­ket, while si­mul­ta­ne­ous­ly tran­si­tion­ing the coun­try’s down­stream en­er­gy sec­tor to­wards a clean­er and more sus­tain­able fu­ture,” the Min­istry said.

The Min­istry notes that Trinidad and To­ba­go boasts over 100 years of ex­pe­ri­ence in the oil and gas sec­tor, po­si­tion­ing it­self as a key part­ner for the glob­al en­er­gy in­dus­try.

“As a first mover in the de­vel­op­ment of key en­er­gy ser­vices, Trinidad and To­ba­go still ranks among the top five pro­duc­ers and ex­porters of both methanol and am­mo­nia glob­al­ly,” the Min­istry said.

It added: “Notwith­stand­ing its con­tin­ued in­volve­ment in the oil and gas sec­tor, the coun­try recog­nis­es the crit­i­cal need for a low car­bon fu­ture and is com­mit­ted to tran­si­tion­ing its en­er­gy sec­tor to­wards long-term sus­tain­abil­i­ty.”
