Unit­ed States en­er­gy econ­o­mist Fran­cis­co Monal­di has de­scribed the grant­i­ng of a new li­cence for T&T to pur­sue de­vel­op­ment of the Drag­on gas field with Venezuela as “good news,” not­ing that this coun­try re­mains an “al­ly” of Wash­ing­ton.

Monal­di is a lec­tur­er in En­er­gy Eco­nom­ics at Rice Uni­ver­si­ty’s De­part­ment of Eco­nom­ics and in En­er­gy Man­age­ment at the Jones Grad­u­ate School of Busi­ness in the US.
