Shell has been in Trinidad & Tobago for over 100 years and has played a major role in the development of the country’s oil and gas industry. At its pinnacle in the 1960’s, Shell was said to be the largest private sector employer in the country, with a refinery at Point Fortin, the current location of the Atlantic LNG facility and a retail presence.
Shell is well remembered for its development of social and sporting infrastructure in south west Trinidad and for its Trade School, where several of the nationals who have contributed significantly to the development of Trinidad & Tobago’s oil and gas sector, received their first training in the sector.

In 1974 the oil industry was nationalized with the Government purchasing Shell’s assets to create the country’s first national oil company and as a consequence Shell’s footprint was reduced significantly. In January 2014, Shell acquired Repsol’s 20% - 25% non-operated interest in Atlantic LNG. With the completion of the combination of BG Group and Royal Dutch Shell in February 2016, Shell assumed a major Upstream position where gas is supplied to both the petrochemical and LNG sectors and a majority interest in Atlantic LNG across the four train facility.
