Field Trip: Point Lisas Industrial Estate- REGISTRATION CLOSED

Picture
The Point Lisas Industrial Estate is the result of the bold and unprecedented move taken by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago to develop the country’s natural gas reserves.
​The Estate, completed in the late 1970s, is home to over 100 companies involved in a range of activities. It is the centre of the nation’s petrochemical sector and the hub of natural gas processing and distribution as a fuel and feedstock. The world's leading manufacturers of ammonia, urea, methanol and other petrochemicals have selected the Point Lisas Industrial Estate because of the ease of access to natural gas resources and Port Point Lisas.
