As low as 3000 bpd. Last I heard was 9k. Spot values but still way lower than the 40k end of November.

Sando becoming a shantytown—West
Gail Alexander
San Fernando seems to be becoming more and more of a shantytown.
That’s the view of Minister in the Ministry of Finance, Allyson West, who claimed to be a proud southerner.
Speaking in Tuesday’s Senate debate on Petrotrin’s refinery closure, she said she was a “proud member of San Fernando” having grown up there with “pride and hope propelled by the existence of Texaco and Petrotrin.”
But she added, “When I said I was a proud southerner when I lived in South, San Fernando was booming, it was bright, growing with development.”
“In the last couple years when I’ve driven to San Fernando, I’ve been distressed by the fact that San Fernando seems to be becoming more and more of a shantytown—there’s no growth, no development, you’re not seeing the prosperity that Texaco and Petrotrin brought at that time.”
West said that was a reflection of what was happening to Petrotrin as the leading industry in the area. She said San Fernando needed an injection if it is to continue to grow.
West said she also had family in Petrotrin and her brother was in charge of the Catalytic (CAT) cracker and had once been injured in an accident years ago.
“So I’m personally aware of the issues. It’s not that we weren’t aware of the issues or not caring or concerned about employees,” she said, adding Government was faced with a tough decision that had to be made.
West admitted there was an adverse impact on employees, but noted measures were implemented for them.
She argued that half of Petrotrin employees were millennials and studies showed these people hop from job to job and they might have been less adverse to closure especially since they got lump sums.
“We have a group who wasn’t committed to staying in a job for life and would have welcomed the opportunity for change and try new things,” she said.
West detailed how workers’ issues were being addressed, adding the average payout per employee was $520,000 in the total $2.7 bn termination package. West said at least 1,000 would be employed at the new Heritage and Paria Fuel Trading companies plus outsourcing of jobs.
Wade in ‘SlaveMaster’ row
Sean Douglas
OPPOSITION Senator Wade Mark alleged a modern day “slave master” had helped shut Petrotrin so as to reduce jobs in the local energy-sector to a slavery-like state, prompting an upset Senate President Christine Kangaloo to tell him to rein in his language. It all happened as the Senate yesterday debated an Opposition motion critical of the Government’s shut-down of Petrotrin.
He alleged that on the advice of former bpTT head Robert Riley, the foreign firm Mc Kinsey was hired to examine Petrotrin, but the intention was to do a hatchet job on the firm thatwas opposed by one true patriot. “The new plantation owner of Trinidad and Tobago, the new Calder Hart, who lives in both Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago...” Kangaloo interrupted to say he may talk but must show restraint in speaking of people away from the Senate.
Mark re-doubled his efforts. “I’m talking about a new slave owner.” Kangaloo rose, chiding, “Senator Mark! Please.”
Mark sat, raised his hand in apologetic appeal. He conceded, “All right, I’m talking about a planter owner, a new planter class. Is that okay Ma’am?”
Kangaloo shot up again. “I’m asking just for restraint. You are speaking about persons who are not members of this house and cannot defend themselves.
“I’m just asking you...I’m not preventing you from saying what you have to say but please exercise some restraint.”
A defiant Mark stood erect and gestured towards Kangaloo intricately with his hand. “I want to tell the President of the Senate...” Kangaloo reined him in. She said, “Please, please. No Senator Mark, I have not finished. I’m not preventing you from raising your point. I’m not preventing you from raising the names you want to call. “I am asking you, though, to stop the hyperbole (in) some of what you are raising here. Exercise some restraint. Please!”
Hitting the Government for firing 6,000 workers and so ruining the lives of 100,000 people, Mark said he was standing up for workers.
Getting into a row with a female minister, he said the Opposition would win any snap general election called by the Government. Mark alleged a fire sale of assets of Petrotrin has begun. He expected 300 bungalows to be sold to the Government’s friends and family, plus other property recently vested in Petrotrin’s name, including St Peter’s Church.
He named the firm importing refined gasoline to TT as BP International Sales and Trading (BPIST.) “The Government crashed the refinery and gave the contract to BPIST to bring in diesel. We don’t know how this was done because the procurement law is still to be proclaimed.”
Mark said the top oil-broker exporting TT crude-oil was Trafigura some of whose former officials were now charged with corruption in Brazil in a scandal involving political bribery and former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Presumably addressing Energy Minister Franklin Khan, Mark said, “Minister, be careful who you bring here to sell our crude.” Mark asked if crude-oil exported from TT (and so bypassing the Petrotrin refinery) is being refinery at the United States Gulf Coast and then being re-imported to TT.
