LNG Tanker Named 'Woodside Scarlet Ibis'

The Minister of Energy and Energy Industries, Stuart Young, has congratulated Woodside Energy on its latest LNG tanker, the ‘Woodside Scarlet Ibis,’ named after this country’s national bird. His congratulations comes following a meeting with T&T Country Manager for Woodside Energy, Kellyanne Lochan, on Monday at the Ministry’s Head Office at the International Waterfront Complex. Minister Young said the latest development demonstrates the positive stakeholder relationship between the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and Woodside Energy. Ms. Lochan also provided the Minister with an update on operations at Woodside Energy coming out of the recent asset upgrade at Greater Angostura. It comes as Woodside Energy continues to pursue opportunities to maximise value and safely optimise production and operating costs in Trinidad and Tobago. Meanwhile, with respect to the Calypso deep water project, the Ministry said marketing and commercial discussions remain ongoing, under the company’s exploration and development portfolio. And noting the company’s Pacific Basin position and recent agreement for the acquisition of Tellurian and Driftwood LNG, the Energy Minister said Government is open to collaborating on opportunities that can emerge from T&T’s strategic location, in proximity to Atlantic and Pacific routes for LNG.
