A Trinidad and To­ba­go busi­ness del­e­ga­tion re­turned to the glob­al en­er­gy spot­light last week with the launch of its coun­try pavil­ion at the Off­shore Tech­nol­o­gy Con­fer­ence (OTC) 2025 in Hous­ton, Texas, which was held May 5to 8. The ini­tia­tive brought to­geth­er lead­ing pub­lic and pri­vate sec­tor com­pa­nies un­der one ban­ner to pro­mote ex­port-ready ser­vices and high­light the coun­try’s evolv­ing role in the off­shore en­er­gy val­ue chain.

This year’s busi­ness del­e­ga­tion com­prised Na­tion­al En­er­gy, Na­tion­al Gas Com­pa­ny of Trinidad and To­ba­go Ramps Lo­gis­tics Ltd., El Do­ra­do Off­shore, Qualitech Ma­chin­ing Ser­vices, Du­more En­ter­pris­es, Con­nect Caribe, Tem­blado­ra En­er­gy Lo­gis­tics, Sum­mit En­er­gy Ser­vices Ltd and Gulf En­gi­neer­ing Ser­vices These com­pa­nies show­cased ser­vices in lo­gis­tics, off­shore op­er­a­tions, en­gi­neer­ing, ma­rine and in­dus­tri­al sup­port, tech­nol­o­gy in­te­gra­tion, and en­er­gy work­force so­lu­tions.

With thou­sands of stake­hold­ers from across North Amer­i­ca, Latin Amer­i­ca, Eu­rope, and Asia at­tend­ing OTC each year, the plat­form presents an op­por­tu­ni­ty for T&T busi­ness­es to en­gage di­rect­ly with clients, in­vestors, and strate­gic part­ners while gain­ing crit­i­cal in­sights to sup­port fu­ture mar­ket ex­pan­sion.

A key fea­ture of this year’s en­gage­ment was T&T’s par­tic­i­pa­tion in OTC’s Around The World Se­ries, a fo­rum that al­lows coun­tries to present their in­vest­ment out­look, and ca­pa­bil­i­ties, to a glob­al au­di­ence. The T&T ses­sion, held on May 6, was themed “The Nexus of En­er­gy, Ex­pe­ri­ence and Glob­al Part­ner­ships.”

The pan­el fea­tured voic­es from state en­ter­pris­es and the pri­vate sec­tor, and fo­cussed on op­por­tu­ni­ties in T&T’s oil and gas sec­tor and the readi­ness of ser­vice com­pa­nies to sup­port re­gion­al growth. Dis­cus­sions ex­plored a range of time­ly top­ics, in­clud­ing dig­i­tal­i­sa­tion, in­fra­struc­ture readi­ness, lo­cal con­tent de­vel­op­ment, and Trinidad and To­ba­go’s grow­ing role as a re­gion­al lo­gis­tics and en­er­gy ser­vices hub.

As glob­al en­er­gy dy­nam­ics con­tin­ue to shift to­ward in­te­gra­tion, sus­tain­abil­i­ty, and in­no­va­tion, T&T’s mes­sage at OTC 2025 was clear: the coun­try is open for busi­ness, aligned with in­ter­na­tion­al trends, and ready to de­liv­er.
