Shell in Trinidad & Tobago

Shell has been in Trinidad & Tobago for over 100 years and has played a major role in the development of the country’s hydrocarbon industry. At its pinnacle in the 1960s, Shell was said to be the largest private sector employer in the country, with a refinery at Point Fortin, the current location of the Atlantic LNG facility and a retail presence. Through more than 100 years of unbroken partnership, we have helped to unlock the country’s oil and gas potential, to the benefit of both the government and people. We value this long-term relationship, which is built on the principles of mutual respect and collaboration, as well as a stable political and commercial environment, all of which continues to foster an attractive investment climate.

Currently, Shell delivers an integrated gas operation to supply the petrochemical market and Atlantic LNG through its offshore blocks (both operated and non-operated). We have an equity interest in the Atlantic LNG plant in Point Fortin and Trinidad is also a hub for the development of several opportunities in the wider region.

Our key pillars of economic diversification and livelihood development guide our engagement within the communities in which we operate, as well as at a national level.
