 • DEEP HORIZON DRILLING
EOG Resources takes another stab at the deep in 2010
Despite the fact that the Ibis Deep well, drilled to 19,068 feet in the South East Coast Consortium (SECC) block by bpTT three years ago, did not find hydrocarbons, at least one petroleum company executive is convinced that the deeper horizons in the Columbus Basin off Trinidad’s east coast will eventually become a producing province.
• TRINIDAD BUNKERING

• RENEWABLE ENERGY
Electricity companies move into renewables

• LATIN AMERICA ENERGY

Trinidad and Tobago’s ministry of energy and energy industries (MEEI) would be well advised to try and reach a decision sooner rather than later on the proposed 250,000 b/d refinery complex at Pointe-à-Pierre which has been part of its strategic planning for some time.
