Trinidad claims its gas deals remain safe despite Maduro's being snatched. Roodal Moonilal slapped down rumors that regional chaos wrecked energy arrangements. The Energy Minister insisted that current agreements regarding the Dragon gas project are still active regardless of military actions next door. Operations continue without losing any cash.
Moonilal confirmed that the specific American license permitting this project remains valid. This authorization allows exploration to proceed even after Venezuelan officials previously threatened to revoke approvals last year. Work apparently keeps moving forward along lines agreed upon before everything went sideways recently.
Relevant stakeholders are supposedly still talking with their counterparts across the water. The minister refused to touch diplomatic questions while focusing strictly on operational matters. He also noted that energy strategies extend beyond just Caracas since they are building partnerships throughout South America.
That massive Dragon field remains central for boosting local liquefied natural gas supplies. Shell and the National Gas Company hold permission to pursue exports under strict sanctions compliance. Government leaders maintain that no formal notifications have arrived changing any existing contracts or deals.
