Anglo-Dutch supermajor Shell and the state-run companies of Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela have agreed to advance plans to bring gas from fields offshore Venezuela into Trinidad to bolster declining production that is disrupting the island nation's downstream industry.
Trinidad's Natural Gas Company (NGC) and Venezuela's PDVSA signed an agreement with Shell to send between 200 million and 300 million cubic feet of natural gas per day from the shallow-water Dragon field in the Mariscal Sucre area in Venezuela through a 17-kilometre pipeline to the Shell-operated Hibiscus platform offshore Trinidad, according to local media reports.
