1 5 years of Managing for Development in an Ever Changing Economic Environment T&T s Petroleum Upstream Sector A view of the Next 5 years By Allan Russell, Petroleum Geosciences, UWI Part-time lecturer Rajesh Bududass

2 Aim and Statement of Purpose The object of this paper is to : Present a view of the future role of energy projects in Trinidad and Tobago s (T&T s) revenue base over a 5-year forecast period. Determine at a high level the feasibility of these projects and their requirements. Situational Analysis T&T has exported crude oil for over 1 years and began exportation of natural gas as LNG in There is also a large petrochemical industrial base for natural gas that has developed over the past 3 years. The starting point for these industries locally is the abundant supply of oil and gas relative to the country demand profiles. Oil and gas are finite resources and present production levels are forecasted to decline; natural gas has a proved lifetime of 12 years at the current rates of consumption (Ref: Ryder Scott Reserves Report 211). In 211, crude oil production has declined to 91,919 b/d (Source MEEA in 211) and unless new sources are put on to production, this decline will continue. T&T is currently largely dependent on the sales derived from oil and gas for government revenues. 2

3 Country Imperatives Main requirements for energy can be simplified as: Security of Supply ( for Power Generation, Transportation and Local consumption) Generation (Sales of crude oil or refined products, natural gas as LNG, Petrochemicals, etc) Energy Efficiency (emissions, alternate energy sources) Participation in International Ventures to help replace declining domestic supply (use of technical skills to find / produce new resources internationally) 3

19 Results and Findings 1. Deepwater success in oil will have the greatest impact 1, bopd on government revenues of 1.5 billion USD/yr in the shortest time possible (7-1 yrs) 2. Small Marine Fields < 35 million barrels of oil can achieve 35, bopd and generate government revenues of 7 Million USD/yr (3-5 yrs). Recent Fiscal adjustment provided. 3. Enhanced Oil Recovery projects can generate 8, bopd and generate 2 Million USD/yr assuming an adjustment of the Government Take. 4. Heavy Oil project will require steps of resource definition and appropriate technology. If achieved, this project can generate 35, bopd and generate 6 Million USD/yr assuming an adjustment of the Government Take. 19
