So that hr person lying then?

They ONLY take utt grads as told to me by someone in their hr department so it’s something else.

The company does not ONLY take UTT grads, they take people from UWI and if a company is looking for only UTT grads they would send the posting directly to the UTT alumini association for them to forward to graduates that are interested, instead of having to go through unwanted applications.

Just cause they put out an ad, that doesn't mean they looking for people. Usually Graduate programs are reserved for the children or relatives of the high ranking people at the company...

I used to work there and every Graduate I met had a relative in there.
But this is usually the same policy in point lisas as well from my experiences...

This could also be through, because I have applied to many companies for graduate programmes in order to get work experience at not once has my application been acknowledged nor was I ever contacted for an interview. I suppose getting through would involve you having the right links.

used to be the same thing in the public service for the "summer" internship. Always some director, or assistant director, admin officer or some shiz so family coming in. You knew months in advance who coming.

In the early days of PPSL, now IPSL, there was a time when Brian Manning, Carlos John's son, and Neil Jones daughter were there as interns.

NGC was even worse, it was reveseve for only ppl that had/have strong ties to PNM. It's was 90% afro trinis and very pro PNM.

TELCO/TSTT was the same

^^^ That's OWTU company that supposed to be taking over petrotrin soon. Surprised that ad came out soo early...

[trinidrift]

Yes it is and it caught me by surprise

[vaiostation]

Taught owtu would have made a public announcement before putting out an ad for workers.

Atlantic LNG Graduate Internship Programme 2019 and please see attached details in pic.

Hard to get in there as politics have weight with the present goverment.

Political influence is a reality but these companies also need real talent to groom into functional staff. Don't be discouraged,l; apply if you meet the requirements...

NGC buying less natural gas from bpTT
50 mil­lion stan­dard cu­bic feet per day left be­hind
Curtis Williams

The Na­tion­al Gas Com­pa­ny (NGC) has told bpTT it wants less nat­ur­al gas than is avail­able to it for the rest of the year, leav­ing be­hind al­most 50 mil­lion stan­dard cu­bic feet per day, even though there has been a nat­ur­al gas short­age in the coun­try.

Of­fi­cials of bpTT and the NGC were tight lipped about the sit­u­a­tion. The British en­er­gy gi­ant would nei­ther con­firm nor de­ny the de­vel­op­ment cit­ing con­fi­den­tial­i­ty of con­tract, while NGC would on­ly say it is act­ing in the best in­ter­est of it­self and the lo­cal gas mar­ket.

NGC has de­cid­ed to pur­chase less gas than is avail­able al­though for nine years petro­chem­i­cal plants at the Point Lisas In­dus­tri­al Es­tate have not been get­ting all the gas they need to run at max­i­mum per­for­mance. This has made them in­creas­ing­ly un­com­pet­i­tive and has al­so led to law­suits with NGC hav­ing to pay out mil­lions of dol­lars in com­pen­sa­tion.

Gov­ern­ment has re­peat­ed­ly stat­ed that the coun­try needs all the gas it can get to re­duce the short­fall in gas for the down­stream sec­tor and At­lantic LNG. The short­age has al­ready cost the trea­sury hun­dreds of mil­lions of dol­lars.

How­ev­er, in a strange twist, re­ports are that the price of gas re­cent­ly agreed up­on by NGC and bpTT is part­ly to blame for the dif­fi­cul­ties NGC is now fac­ing in sell­ing that gas at a rea­son­able prof­it.

The NGC of­fi­cials told the Sun­day Guardian it is “op­er­at­ing in a man­ner that sup­ports its con­trac­tu­al and com­mer­cial im­per­a­tives.”

NGC was asked whether it is able to pur­chase enough gas to sup­ply 100 per cent of the needs of its cus­tomers and it com­ing on stream of the Mit­subishi, NGC, Massy methanol plant will mean an in­crease in ag­gre­gate de­mand. The com­pa­ny was al­so asked if it has giv­en its fore­cast de­mand for 2019 to bpTT, the coun­try’s largest nat­ur­al gas pro­duc­er, and if bpTT can make avail­able more gas than is be­ing re­quest

In re­sponse, the com­pa­ny said: “NGC as gas ag­gre­ga­tor con­tin­ues to ac­tive­ly col­lab­o­rate with both the up­stream sup­pli­ers and down­stream cus­tomers to en­sure an op­ti­mal gas sup­ply/de­mand bal­ance is achieved and will con­tin­ue to op­er­ate in a man­ner that al­so sup­ports our con­trac­tu­al and com­mer­cial im­per­a­tives.”

While NGC was un­will­ing to go fur­ther on record, sev­er­al se­nior com­pa­ny of­fi­cials, speak­ing on con­di­tion of anonymi­ty, said NGC was try­ing to sur­vive in dif­fi­cult fi­nan­cial chal­lenges and the price of gas they were buy­ing from bpTT in the new deal meant that down­stream com­pa­nies still on old con­tracts were get­ting gas at prices in­im­i­cal to the in­ter­est of the NGC.

In ad­di­tion, with a num­ber of plants in­clud­ing Ti­tan Methanol cur­rent­ly shut down for main­te­nance, for the next two months all the com­pa­nies on the Point Lisas In­dus­tri­al Es­tate are get­ting all the gas they are con­tract­ed to re­ceive.

The chal­lenge comes when those plants and fin­ished with their main­te­nance and all up and run­ning, in ad­di­tion to which Methanol Hold­ings still has a methanol and melamine plants down due to a lack of suf­fi­cient nat­ur­al gas while the NGC is ex­pect­ed to bring in­to op­er­a­tions its own methanol plant cur­rent­ly be­ing con­struct­ed with Massy and Mit­subishi.

NGC is the ag­gre­ga­tor of gas in T&T and buys gas from up­stream com­pa­nies, in­clud­ing bpTT, Shell, BHP, EOG and De­N­o­vo, then sells that gas to petro­chem­i­cal plants at a high­er price, or what is called a mar­gin.

The com­pa­ny is there­fore the cus­to­di­an of the gas and de­ter­mines which com­pa­nies get gas and the amount in keep­ing with var­i­ous con­trac­tu­al arrange­ments.

In buy­ing gas from bpTT, the NGC can nom­i­nate how much gas it wants on a dai­ly, month­ly and an­nu­al ba­sis and bpTT will sup­ply in keep­ing with the fore­cast­ed amount at an agreed price.

The de­ci­sion to buy less gas from bpTT means less gas will be in the sys­tem for down­stream com­pa­nies to ac­cess and bpTT’s ad­di­tion­al gas will now be sold to At­lantic LNG, a high­ly placed source told the Sun­day Guardian.

In ad­di­tion, with more gas com­ing on from bpTT’s An­gelin and Shell ramp­ing up pro­duc­tion, sources said the nat­ur­al gas cur­tail­ment in the down­stream should come to an end un­less plants that are down are brought back in­to pro­duc­tion.

Who else supplies gas to NGC besides BPTT?

[sMASH]

any one of them, either out right or via some shell company, getting any assets in new petrotrin?

[trinidrift]

Remember majority of the gas bptt sells goes to Atlantic

[dogg]

so buy NGL shares?

[sMASH]

30.05 closing. down from 30.08... wow what a bargain.. lol.

[DreamWeaver]

Anybody know what going on with ipsl? My buddy say that they ain't hiring anybody permanent again until further notice. They say is because govt aint giving them new gas contracts for their methanol plants which currently running on a gas bligh. But I hearing all other places getting contracts renewed. Allyuh think proman contemplating that point lisas days numbered and they just milking whatever they have left?

[trinidrift]

Anyone knows what going on with niquan? Haven't heard anything about them in a while
Did you all know Kenson got both paria and heritage operations except office staff and may possibly get the refinery too?

Heard of men got hired in IPSL recently but they saying they have no vacancies. Not sure if bobol.

Didnt really ask much.

Niquan dey, not sure what taking place or what going on but it have staff there.

Heard talk massy might get the refinery, not sure if kenson will get it also. Refinery real iffy right about now.

I know kenson put a hold on hiring right now in heritage, trying to make do with what ever little staff they have. The whole oilfield getting stolen and its a restricted area. Wont doubt is the security. The guys were telling me they left the office with an ac in the morning, swing back mid morning and all the ac gone. They said mash up for copper. Tools stolen and things men wont even think to steal are stolen. How things walking out of there if both sides guarded by security?
