1 OIL EXTRACTION – A Case Study of Trinidad & Tobago Managing the Extractive Sector for Development in Guyana 2012 November 14 th -15 th Presented By: AVRYL MOHAMMED

AGENDA ABOUT TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO OIL AND GAS DEPENDENCY THE MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACTS ABOUT PETROTRIN MANAGEMENT AND MITIGATION OF IMPACTS ABOUT GUYANA- WAY FORWARD

ABOUT TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

The twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago: Area – 5,125 sq. km (1,980 sq. miles) Population – approximately 1.3million Natural Resources – Oil and natural gas, timber and fish About Trinidad and Tobago

OIL AND GAS DEPENDENCY

The Petroleum sector contributes 47% to the country’s GDP Transition from an oil-based economy to a natural gas economy The petrochemical sector continues to grow in line with the natural gas production How much we depend on Hydrocarbon

Trinidad & Tobago Gross Domestic Product by Sector in 2011

How much we depend on Oil and Natural Gas Changes in GDP and Hydrocarbon Production

THE MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACTS

Major Environmental Impacts Deforestation and land degradation Uncontrolled release of hydrocarbon from blowouts Contamination of water courses- oil spills, disruption to ecological life and biodiversity Release of gaseous emissions

Engineering and environmental costs associated with extraction and processing Compliance costs Land tenure and border disputes Major Economic Impacts

What we use our Oil and Gas forMajor Social Impacts Displacement of communities Disparity between classes- poverty Human resource development- pull of human capital to the energy sector at the expense of agriculture Employment Expectations in Fence-line communities Squatting

ABOUT GUYANA- WAY FORWARD

THE WAY FORWARD WHAT CAN GUYANA LEARN?

GUYANA- WAY FORWARD ENVIRONMENTAL Legislation to protect Guyana’s to protect land and water resources - No contamination -Taxation on exceeding pollution standard Assess environmental impact for all development management of water/ rainforest/ flora fauna (biodiversity) Natural/ Industrial Disaster Management Plan

Extraction at a controlled rate Diversification and the non-reliance on a SINGLE resource is integral in propelling economic growth Development of value chain industries GUYANA- WAY FORWARD ECONOMIC

Inclusion of local community into labour force Management of the human resource and the skill pool Provision made with indigenous people Policy to deal with border disputes GUYANA- WAY FORWARD SOCIAL

THE WAY FORWARD “Resource endowment need not necessarily be a curse, however it should not be the sole reliance of a nation’s economy” (adapted from Mrs. Vangie Bhagoo- Ramrattan Manager Research, First Citizens Bank)
