Petrotrin is ending its Oil-Refining operations in Pointe-a-Pierre - the Company's Management disclosed the news to the Media earlier today after discussions with the Unions, stating the following:
The Petrotrin Board of Directors met on Tuesday 28th August 2018 with its employee representative Unions and the Company’s Management to announce plans to end Petrotrin’s Oil-Refining operations at Pointe-a-Pierre and to redesign entirely its Exploration and Production business.
Approximately 2,600 permanent jobs will be affected – the redesigned Exploration and Production business will have approximately 800 workers and all 1,700 jobs in Refining will be terminated.
The announcement follows months of careful review and analysis by the Company’s Board of Directors, which was appointed last September to identify the problems at Petrotrin and take the steps necessary to make the Company self-sustainable and profitable. Petrotrin has lost a total of about TT $8 Billion in the last five (5) years; is TT $12 Billion in debt; and owes the Government of Trinidad & Tobago more than TT $3 Billion in Taxes and Royalties. Read a statement below by Petrotrin’s Chairman, Wilfred Espinet and let us know your thoughts in the comments. With the termination of the Refining operations and the redesign of Exploration and Production, Petrotrin will now be able to independently finance all of its debt and become a sustainable business.
