Rumor has it govnt trying to get their hands on Yara.

Looks as if they want to get all foreign companies out of Trinidad, hence the reason on gas prices for down streamers . The foreign Insurance companies have left and are now locally owed by certain people. Pt lisas will be a failure if owned by government as wages will be stagnated with square pegs in round holes and political appointees.

It seems that way, you stave the plants for gas then buy them up.

Nearly all the plants use Gas, Except Desal

Where was this? It could be several things including
1) Fire drill if the boat is equipped with fire water pumps like PLIPDECO's tugs
2) Ammonia release being sprayed on in a fog pattern
3) Actual fire on a vessel, requiring such.

[rspann]

Exclusive: BP poised to sell 'stranded assets' even if oil prices rally

LONDON (Reuters) - BP (BP.L) is preparing to sell a large chunk of its oil and gas assets even if crude prices bounce back from the COVID-19 crash because it wants to invest more in renewable energy, three sources familiar with BP’s thinking said.

The strategy was discussed at a BP executives meeting in July, the sources said, soon after the oil major lowered its long-term oil price forecast to $55 a barrel, meaning that $17.5 billion worth of its assets are no longer economically viable.

But even if crude prices bounce back to $65-$70 a barrel, BP is unlikely to put those assets back into its exploration plans and would instead use the better market conditions as an opportunity to sell them, the three sources said.

Major oil companies typically hold assets for the long term, even when crude prices plunge, with a view to start bringing more marginal production online when market conditions improve.

However, BP’s new divestment strategy, which has not previously been reported, means there will be no way back for the British energy company once it has offloaded its so-called stranded oil and gas assets.

BP did not respond to requests for comment.
