PM: Distributing Petrotrin lands not like giving out hops bread
Julien Neaves
THE PRIME Minister has said the distribution of land to former Petrotrin workers was not as easy as distributing hops bread.
He was responding to prime minister's questions in the House on Friday on his statement on December 17, 2018 on state lands given to former Petrotrin workers for housing and agricultural use and how many workers had received land 11 months later.
Dr Rowley said the process required a certain amount of identification and preparation of the lands, and when those works were finished the plots would be available.
"Having learned from the Caroni experience, where a similar undertaking was given and actions were taken to provide lands for employees in similar circumstances, which resulted in huge scandals and losses for the taxpayer, we are making haste to ensure that such is not repeated."
He explained that after parcels of land were identified and the relevant approvals obtained, infrastructural work had to be done, and then the workers would be allowed to have the plots.
"It is not an overnight thing."
Pointe-a-Pierre MP David Lee asked if a committee had been set up to deal with the lands.
Rowley said one had been set up but he could not remember who the members were. He believed it included people from the Housing Development Corporation and other professionals.
Lee also requested a timeline.
Rowley responded that these things did not have deadline dates, but it would be approached in a reasonable way.
"To ask for a deadline now is just being mischievous."

Paria workers protest over H&S issues
Seeta Persad
WORKERS of Paria Fuel Trading stopped work and protested outside the company's compound because of ongoing health and safety issues. They gathered at the front gate in Pointe-a-Pierre on Wednesday morning, to voice their concerns.
Spokesman for the workers Lex François said Paria was not concerned about the welfare of workers and was denying them the right to health and safety.
“Workers are operating at a risk, since there is no proper emergency response in place," he said.
They have to find medical attention on their own when the need arises, he said.
“Last week a worker got injured and his co-workers used their private vehicle to provide transport to the hospital,” Francois said.

When workers complained to the company heads, he said, they say they cannot deal with such issues and they are always open for business.
“Paria heads must address this important issue of health and safety immediately, as workers will continue their protest actions until this is done,” he said. "We are not getting any response from the head as to whether they have an interim plan until better can be done."
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) Act, Francois said, this state-owned company must first ensure the safety of the workers.
“There is supposed to be an ambulance on the compound together with other units to ensure the workers’ safety.”
Another worker, Derrek Raymond, said since Paria replaced Petrotrin, there had been no ambulance on the Pointe-a-Pierre plant.
“We wrote to the human resource department asking Paria to address the concern of the workers, but no one seems to be listening,” Raymond said.
Workers said they are concerned about providing gas to citizens but have no choice but to protest.

The_Honourable wrote:Trinidad formally expresses interest in refining Guyana’s oil
The government of Trinidad and Tobago has formally expressed interest in having an arrangement with Guyana to refine its oil. This was noted in a government document seen by this news agency.
The Guyana Standard understands that the Coalition administration is of the view that this is perhaps, a suitable option. It noted in the document that Petrotrin, Trinidad’s National Oil Company which was sold last year September to Patriotic Energies and Technologies Co Ltd, holds a refinery that has received extensive upgrading in recent years.
It was further stated in the document that if Guyana were to go ahead with this option, there would be a need for configuration investments since the refinery is currently configured to refine heavy to medium crude while Guyana produces sweet light crude. When all the outlying factors are considered however, the government is of the view that this option, which appears to be the best at the moment, should be given due consideration and studied.
To underscore its agreement to study the Trinidad option, the government highlighted that Guyana independently pursuing a large, petrochemical refinery is not a viable investment. It was keen to note that a traditional refinery with capacity of up to 200,000b/d would occupy hundreds of acres and take USD $5 billion of investments. It was further noted that a refinery’s construction might take more than 60 months and generate as a consequence, a negative net present value of USD $2.5 – 3.0 billion.

What was the reason for petrotrin's closure?
Loop summarized it as poor management, crippling debt and supply chain issue (not enough oil to profitably run)
Seems as though the equipment is fine.

This proposed Guyana deal will be good.
