The Gas Field Trinidad Has Been Promised for Eight Years and Has Never Received

For eight years, the government of Trinidad and Tobago has promised that the Dragon gas field—located just across the maritime border in Venezuelan waters—would rescue its collapsing natural gas production, refill idle Atlantic LNG trains, and save the petrochemical estate at Point Lisas. Yet, despite signed treaties, three American presidents, licence revocations, military strikes, and the removal of international sanctions, not a single molecule of Dragon gas has ever reached Trinidadian infrastructure. There is no pipeline, no final investment decision, and an operator whose tender documents state the project remains entirely unapproved.
In this deep-dive forensic investigation, we trace the complete history of the Dragon gas deal. From confidential government-to-government negotiations in Caracas and secret OFAC licensing terms to the sudden closing of methanol and ammonia plants, unverified reserve surges, and the startling reality of how Shell’s actual timeline conflicts with Port of Spain's political promises.

The refinery is the asset.
