What s the big idea? Oil and gas producing countries must have a competitive investment environment that attracts capital and strikes a balance between fair returns to the State for extraction of its resources and fair returns to the company for risks it has taken.
The global energy context and megatrends in 2010 - present
Major energy trends driven by. Technology ( 3D seismic, microprocessing, fracking) Globalization ( access to acreage) Climate Change debate ( decarbonization) Geopolitics Increased energy demand driven by Asia (China & India, population and economic growth) Texan George Mitchell Father of Fracking
The Climate Change debate has dominated the global policy agenda for this decade and impacted on energy policy in most countries. There are persons who question that the burning fossil fuels has caused climate change ( anthropogenic climate change)
Key oil supply trends 2010 to present Supply Growth in supply outstrips growth in demand in 2014. Increased American and Iraqi production of shale oil. Oil prices collapse.

Guiding Philosophy and Policy Framework
My Guiding Philosophy 1. Maintain the integrity of the Ministry of Energy ( respect is earned). 2. Appreciated that the oil and gas business is high risk and capital intensive. 3. Never compromise safety for production or results. 4. Companies will invest if they think they can get the minimum return that satisfies their shareholders. 5. Capital is mobile, it does not have to come to Trinidad goes where it is treated the best.
My Guiding Philosophy 6. We should be doing business with the best companies in the world. 7. Recognize the companies that have demonstrated long term commitment to Trinidad. 8. The Government is in a partnership with the companies we are not adversaries. 9. The public directly should own part of the energy sector.
Policy Direction Simplify petroleum taxation regime Reduction in levels of taxation. Increase cost recovery rates in PSC s. Restructure capital allowances to improve project economics. Simplify bidding process ( only 2 biddable items) Get ride of taxable PSC Vertical integration of the National Gas Company Initial Public Offerings are great vehicles to transfer wealth Empowerment of private sector partners of Petrotrin. Communicate effectively with the public and stakeholders.

Upstream Activity on Steroids Signed twenty one (21) production sharing contracts and/ licenses for exploration and production. This is the largest number ever signed by any Minister of Energy and Energy Affairs. These agreements constitute an investment of up to $US 2.0 billion and creates an active upstream programme for the remainder of the current decade.
Rig Days Took initiatives that led to a significant turnaround in upstream activity as evidenced by an increase in rig days from 1132 rig days in 2010 to 2443 rig days in 2014. In addition, there was a significant increase in acquisition of 2D/3D seismic data during the aforementioned period. 4,000 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 500-2,600 3,331 2,472 Rig Days ( Trinidad and Tobago) 2000 to 2016 2,369 2,501 2,214 3,274 3,409 2,690 744 1,132 2,189 2,788 2,486 2,443 2,765 1810 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

Mitsubishi of Japan invest in methanol plant Presided over the progress to Final Investment Decision (FID) of a Methanol to Di- Methyl Ether petrochemical complex by a consortium led by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical of Japan and including the Trinidad based conglomerate Massy. This investment is valued at $US 987 million and will create 2000 construction jobs and 200 permanent jobs in a depressed community in south Trinidad.

Deepwater Exploration Opened up Trinidad and Tobago s deepwater acreage to exploration. In total nine production sharing contracts were signed with BHP Billiton and its partners. Arising out of these nine contracts, in 2014/2015, BHP Billiton conducted the largest 3D seismic survey ever conducted by an International Oil Company (20,199 square kilometers).
Estimates of the Ministry Of Energy of the potential of the deepwater for oil resources range from 2.2 billion to 8.2 billion barrels of oil initially in place. Deepwater Area
Conclusion.the bad news Trinidad is past its peak gas production of 4.3 billion cubic feet per day in 2010. The industry will struggle to keep production above 3.5 billion cubic feet per day beyond 2017. Oil production is in continual decline due to issues around the no longer relevant business model of Petrotrin. There will be a need to rationalize Point Lisas and / or Atlantic LNG ( shut down plants). New natural gas projects beyond 2017 will not produce enough gas to offset the decline of mature gas reservoirs.
Areas of potential..a leader is a dealer in hope Potential for big deepwater discoveries ( BHP s drilling campaign in progress technical and geological risk) Potential for Venezuelan gas to come to T&T ( political risk). Potential to apply technology to increase oil production. ( commercial risk). There is an urgent need to privatize Petrotrin ( political risk). Partnerships with Guyana and Suriname ( political risk).
