NGC signs gas supply contract with TRINGEN

The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (NGC) has signed a new Gas Sales Contract with petrochemical producer Trinidad Nitrogen Company Limited (TRINGEN).

TRINGEN, one of the longest-operating ammonia producers at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate, operates two production plants, TRINGEN I and TRINGEN II, and a gas turbine power generation facility. The company is owned 51 per cent by National Enterprises Limited and 49 per cent by Yara Caribbean (2002) Ltd.

Present at the signing were NGC chairman Gerald I. Ramdeen and acting president Edmund Subryan, along with TRINGEN chairman Emerson Chedee and vice-president of operations Treveno Mowassie.

Subryan said the agreement reflects collaboration between the companies in the energy sector.

“NGC and TRINGEN share a longstanding and productive partnership, and the successful conclusion of this agreement reflects the dedication and professionalism of the legal and commercial teams on both sides. It demonstrates the value of sustained collaboration within our energy sector and reinforces our collective commitment to supporting the natural gas value chain and maintaining Trinidad and Tobago’s position as a reliable ammonia producer.”

Ramdeen said the contract secures gas supply to support ammonia production at Point Lisas.

“The execution of this contract reflects the strength of an enduring partnership between NGC and TRINGEN built on mutual trust and a shared commitment to the development of Trinidad and Tobago’s energy sector. The terms that have been agreed evidence the shared purpose of ensuring the maximum return to the people of this country from the monetising of their natural resources at every point in the gas value chain.

“By securing continued gas supply to support ammonia production, this contract contributes to sustaining economic activity at Point Lisas and reinforces NGC’s role in supporting the long-term viability of the petrochemical industry.”
