ENERGY Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal said there had been an increase in production in oil and gas since the government came into office, achieved by negotiation with upstreamers and downstreamers.

He made the statement at the post-cabinet media briefing at the Red House, Port of Spain, on July 10.

“Since we came into office, as I’ve said before, we have increased oil production from 48,000 barrels of oil per day, which we met, by almost 5,000 barrels more. We have increased that to almost 54,000 barrels of oil per day.
