Energy ministry hopes to make it on time
The Trinidad and Tobago

Suriname dry hole will not affect Guyana prospects

• JAMAICA ENERGY
Controversy over LNG for Jamaica rekindled
Does
Jamaica really want to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) or doesn’t
it? ENERGY Caribbean thought that matter had been settled for the long
term when the country’s Prime Minister, Bruce Golding, said a few
months after his Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) had been returned to office
that “we took a decision that this long debate as to whether we are
going with LNG (for power generation) or whether we are going with
coal, has to come to an end. The decision we have taken is that we are
going to seek to diversify our energy arrangements by committing
ourselves to establishing LNG facilities for the long haul.” Golding
added, and it was duly reported by this magazine in its April 2008
issue (#36), that “discussions have started on securing long-term
supply contracts for LNG.” Read more »
• CUBA UPDATE
Deep-water exploration slow in getting off the ground
Cuba’s
goal of finding oil in deep-water acreage in its Exclusive Economic
Zone (EEZ) in the Gulf of Mexico is suffering a number of setbacks
which make the prediction of some analysts that the Caribbean communist
state could eventually be producing 525,000 barrels per day (b/d)—its
domestic output is now only 53,000 b/d, with another 22,000 b/d in gas
equivalent—somewhat fanciful. Read more »
