The Environmental Management Authority (EMA) has issued a Certificate of Environmental Clearance (CEC)to EOG Resources for offshore exploration of two gas wells, TG1 and TG2, within the NCMA 4(a) Unlimited Block off the North Coast of Trinidad.
This approval is the first CEC issued under the newly appointed Board of Directors, for the oil and gas sector. According to Chairman Doolar Ramlal, the certificate was issued within the statutory timeframe and reflected the Authority’s approach to regulatory decision-making.
EOG Resources signed the production sharing contract for the block in January 2025 and submitted the application for the CEC in March 2025.
EOG is a major hydrocarbon producer in T&T and produces over 400mmscf/d of natural gas and approximately 2,000 bopd.
