Background
Trinidad and Tobago is a twin-island republic in the southern Caribbean, positioned off Venezuela's northeast coast. It is one of the Western Hemisphere's leading natural gas producers relative to its size: Atlantic LNG operates four liquefaction trains at Point Fortin, with combined capacity of approximately 14.8 mtpa, making it a significant supplier to both European and Asian markets.
Atlantic LNG cargoes from Trinidad contribute to The Atlantic LNG supply stack that ALSI (Atlantic LNG Storage Inventory) monitors. In late April 2026 ALSI data showed an inventory bounce that the market initially read as Hormuz-related, but which proved to be Atlantic-sourced cargo arrivals rather than Persian Gulf LNG. Trinidad and Tobago's Atlantic LNG is thus part of the diversified LNG supply buffer underpinning European storage builds.
The country's gas production comes primarily from offshore fields in the eastern Caribbean, with a significant share of output contracted to Atlantic LNG. Trinidad and Tobago is a founding member of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) and participates in Caribbean regional energy diplomacy.
