TRINIDAD and Tobago's energy sector is showing 'clear signs of recovery' after years of decline, Energy Minister Roodal Moonilal told the House of Representatives yesterday, as he defended the Government's economic direction during debate on the Finance Bill.

Moonilal said oil and gas production trends were beginning to stabilise and strengthen, pointing to what he described as improved output figures and renewed investor confidence in the sector.

He reported oil production had risen from 52,810 barrels per day in January 2025 to 54,000 barrels per day by November of the same year, while natural gas output increased from 2.41 billion cubic feet per day to 2.5 billion cubic feet over the same period.
