Touchstone Exploration Inc. reported that the company was notified by The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited that they expect to be ready to receive first gas from the Cascadura natural gas and associated liquids facility on or about June 30, 2023.
Touchstone Exploration has announced that it has commenced operations at the Royston-1X sidetrack well located on the onshore Ortoire block in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Touchstone has an 80 percent operating working interest in the well, with Heritage Petroleum Company Limited holding the remaining 20 percent working interest.
The Energy Chamber of Trinidad & Tobago was encouraged by the positive response to the onshore bid round. Eight of the eleven blocks on offer received at least one bid, with a total of sixteen bids from eight different companies. While the Trinidad & Tobago onshore province represent very mature acreage, the recent exploration success of Touchstone shows that it is still possible to make new finds and develop new fields in this mature setting. Onshore production in mature provinces will typically attract attention from smaller producers, rather than major oil and gas companies, and this was the case in this bid round.
In May 2022, the Energy Chamber officially launched a six-point plan to secure new natural gas supplies and maximize exports from Trinidad & Tobago.

The Board of Directors of the Energy Chamber is saddened by the passing of Mr. Wayne Bertrand.
Mr. Bertrand worked closely with the Energy Chamber over many decades, in different capacities. During his time as an executive at Petrotrin, he worked closely with the Energy Chamber on the lease-out/farm-out programme and creating the right environment for small onshore producers to increase their production. He also collaborated with the Energy Chamber on trying to find a solution to the issue of the environmental impact of leaks from the aging infrastructure and wells that Petrotrin had inherited from predecessor companies.
After leaving Petrotrin, the Energy Chamber worked closely with Wayne while he was at UWI on issues around workforce development and the export of training services, including service exports to Africa. In more recent years, the Energy Chamber worked closely with Wayne in his role as Chairman of the Board of NESC.
The Board of Directors of the Energy Chamber extends sincerest condolences to the family and colleagues of Mr. Wayne Bertrand.
