BP reports major gas find in Trinidad

London — BP Trinidad & Tobago on Nov. 19 announced that it has discovered an estimated 1 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas off the shore of Trinidad, doubling the estimated gas in place of the Savonette gas field to 2 tcf. This was major news for the Trinidad nitrogen industry, which has been suffering through regular gas curtailments for some time. In addition, recent estimates have warned that the country might have less than ten years worth of gas left.
