Dr Roodal Mooni­lal has wel­comed the lat­est de­vel­op­ments in Shell’s Man­a­tee gas project and called on the com­pa­ny to ex­plore in­creased gas out­put, cit­ing the ur­gent need to ad­dress Trinidad and To­ba­go’s gas short­age.

In a me­dia state­ment, Dr Mooni­lal said, “I am very pleased with the progress Shell is mak­ing with the Man­a­tee project. The most re­cent de­vel­op­ment is the ar­rival in the coun­try of the MV Vox Amalia hop­per dredger which will con­duct trench­ing op­er­a­tions for a com­po­nent of the Man­a­tee pipeline. Re­lat­ed works are al­so on­go­ing to pre­pare in­fra­struc­ture in Guayagua­yare.”

He de­scribed the project as one that has tak­en shape over sev­er­al ad­min­is­tra­tions and out­lined its back­ground.
