What gas supply agreements has Trinidad and Tobago's NGC recently completed with Proman Group, and which entities are involved?

Trinidad and Tobago's National Gas Company (NGC) has completed natural gas supply agreements with Proman Group for ammonia and methanol production, covering a gas sale contract with Methanol Holdings (Trinidad) Ltd.—the largest methanol producer at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate—and similar deals with Proman's ammonia plants, Caribbean Nitrogen Company Limited and Nitrogen (2000) Unlimited.

Why is NGC's completion of these gas supply deals significant amid broader challenges in Trinidad and Tobago's energy sector?

The agreements are significant because natural gas availability has been a key concern for downstream producers in Trinidad and Tobago as the country manages declining domestic production from mature fields; NGC Chairman Gerald Ramdeen stated the deals reflect the company's 'proactive engagement with downstream stakeholders and its commitment to supporting the continued success and competitiveness of Trinidad and Tobago's energy sector,' especially following Nutrien’s shutdown of its nitrogen operations in October 2025 due to disputes over gas prices and port fees.
