Trinidad and Tobago, renowned as Latin America’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter, is poised to amplify its natural gas production. This initiative follows a recent agreement with Woodside Energy to develop the Calypso deepwater gas discoveries, which harbor an estimated 3.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves. As the nation gears up to …
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently raised its oil production forecast for 2025, expecting an average output of 13.59 million barrels per day (bpd)—an increase from the previous estimate of 13.55 million bpd. As oil production ramps up, the need for efficient, reliable, and cost-effective pipeline transportation becomes even more critical. Existing pipeline infrastructure …
