Trinidad NGC Chairman says Shell (SHEL LN) expects to produce first gas from Loran-Manatee field at Venezuela-trinidad border by mid-2027, according to reports

The announcement regarding Shell's projected gas production from the Loran-Manatee field by mid-2027 indicates a significant long-term supply development that could influence regional gas markets and pricing. This anticipated output of nearly 1 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) contributes to the broader energy landscape, as it may ease supply constraints and shift focus toward future demand and infrastructure, particularly for LNG. The request to restart Atlantic LNG Train 1 is an indication of potential preparations to optimize gas supply ahead of this new output, impacting local and possibly international gas flows.
