He went so far to say that plant will be restarted soon.
Right now m3 is coming up but they only have a 6 month gas contract. Nutrien may look at 02 as well with it currently down till end of year. Things not looking good for atlantic LNG train 1.
What plan does the govt have to deal with this expect the usual hope and pray commodity prices improve??

NGC should finalized a plan to review and change its value chain so the dow streamers may see a reprieve by next year.
There are movements being made by bp to increase of gas through matapal and the restructure of atlantic is in its final stages. So from 2021 beyond we can see much improvement in the local energy sector.
Don't discount the green hydrogen plant as well.
Rockram wrote:One year after Yara Trinidad Ltd announced the closure of its wholly-owned ammonia plant at Point Lisas, its workers were yesterday instructed to attend a meeting today with company officials.
It is believed the meeting, which will be held by their line managers and the human resource manager, will be to discuss retrenchment terms.
On November 13, 2019, Yara announced the closure of its ammonia plant, citing plant profitability and failed negotiations with the National Gas Company of Trinidad (NGC).
Yesterday, employees either received a phone call or were notified via emailed to attend the meeting.
A copy of the letter sent to employees, which Guardian Media obtained, advises, “You may opt to have your union representative present at the aforementioned meeting.”
Employees are represented by the Oilfield Workers’ Trade Union, whose president-general Ancel Roget. In January, the OWTU stood in solidarity with workers who staged a protest over possible job cuts. It was reported back then that 70 workers were likely to face the breadline.
The ammonia plant is one of three operated by Yara Trinidad. The remaining two plants, Tringen I and Tringen II, are jointly owned by Yara International ASA and National Enterprises Ltd.
“All the workers received letters except corporate staff. We are talking about engineers, process operators and maintenance technicians among others. Everyone is uneasy because we don’t know what is going to happen at this meeting,” one affected worker told Guardian Media.
