Trindad & Tobago Hydrocarbons 2013

January 15, 2013

Trinidad and Tobago is the industrial engine of the Caribbean, fueled by its oil and gas resources and sustaining a chemical hub that ranks among the world’s finest.

Trinidad and Tobago is in a time of transformation, as it seeks to redefine its role in a changing global chemical market.
