2 Agenda THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO History of Petroleum developments Brief look at Trinidad and Tobago Growth of Natural gas Industry Present state of Industry Trinidad and Tobago Gas Value chain Success factors in T&T Model

3 History of Global THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO Petroleum Development Earliest known oil wells were drilled in China in 347 AD Ancient records of China and Japan - allusions to the use of natural gas for lighting and heating. First documented shipment of petroleum from South America - Venezuela was in 1539 when a single barrel of oil was sent to Spain to alleviate the gout of Emperor Charles V Earliest mention of petroleum in Trinidad occurs in Sir Walter Raleigh s account of Pitch Lake in 1595; First successful oil well in modern times Baku Others include Drake well in Pennsylvania 1859, Peru 1863, Trinidad 1866 and Venezuela and Bolivia in the 1910 s
