NGC And Shell Finalise Commercial Agreements To Advance Aphrodite Gas Project

The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (NGC) has executed final commercial agreements with Shell Trinidad and Tobago Limited (Shell) in support of the Aphrodite project, marking what the company describes as a significant step forward for the country’s energy sector.

According to a media release issued Wednesday, the agreements represent a major increase in NGC’s ability to monetise resources belonging to the people of Trinidad and Tobago for their benefit. NGC’s pipeline and gas-related infrastructure is expected to play a critical role in bringing Aphrodite’s gas reserves to market, with first gas anticipated by the second quarter of 2027.

NGC Chairman Gerald I. Ramdeen described the company’s role in advancing the Aphrodite project as a major milestone for the country’s energy sector. He said the execution of the agreements reflects the results of NGC’s new vision and business model, aimed at strengthening Trinidad and Tobago’s energy security and supporting the domestic energy sector. Ramdeen added that Aphrodite will boost future gas supply for the local energy market, support the sustainability of downstream operations, grow economic activity and, in the long term, contribute to national development.
