Guyana wants T&T oil expert on petroleum advisory body

May 18, 2012 News

 

Guyana has requested help in its oil quest from neighbouring Trinidad and Tobago.
According to Trinidad’s Energy Minister, Kevin Ramnarine, Guyana has asked for a T&T representative to be on its petroleum advisory body.
“I have asked Petrotrin to recommend somebody to serve on that committee. They need someone who is a geologist or geophysicist to help them.”
Ramnarine, in a Trinidad Guardian report yesterday, told reporters that he is expected to meet with Guyana’s Minister of Natural Resources, Robert Persaud, who will be on a two-day visit to T&T next week.
The ministers are expected to discuss how T&T can partner with Guyana to develop that country’s energy sector, Ramnarine said.
“Trinidad has to play a huge role in supporting the development of the oil industry in Guyana, supporting them in terms of services, in terms of people and so on.”
Asked what type of services can T&T provide he said: “We have like cementing services, we have welding services, we have labour supply. We can also provide them with a lot of materials that they need. For example right now we are coating pipes for the Venezuelans … it is an opportunity for T&T.”
Trinidad has a strong petroleum industry while Guyana is currently exploring for oil in its offshore concessions.
