Trevor M. Boopsingh was a distinguished member of the International Society of Petroleum Engineers. He served as Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources from 1981 to 1987. He was a senior lecturer in the Department of Engineering at the University of the West Indies and served as chairman of its Engineering Institute from 1994 to 1998. He also served as chairman of the state-owned oil company Petrotrin from 1991 to 1995. His seminal work, Oil, Gas, and Development: A View from the South, was published in 1990. Boopsingh was awarded Trinidad and Tobago's second highest honor: the Chaconia Medal (Gold) for his outstanding contribution to the nation. Gregory McGuire is recognized as one of the leading energy economists in Trinidad and Tobago. He has over twenty years of cumulative experience in the energy industry, with particular emphasis on negotiating gas contracts, strategic planning, and gas marketing.
This collection of papers offers an extraordinarily valuable
glimpse into every important aspect of the `Trinidad and Tobago
model.' The fact that the small, two-island Caribbean state
provided an example to the world on the successful
commercialization of a very modest amount of natural gas reserves
amply qualifies the book's insights for study and emulation in
countries far bigger than ours. -- David Renwick, co-founder of
ENERGY Caribbean magazine and recipient of the Hummingbird Medal
(Gold) in 2008
This authoritative collection of papers . . . is by far the most
comprehensive and well-judged assessment I have seen. It provides
both a well-written overview of the history of oil and gas
development over the past century and also a well-informed
assessment of where oil and gas policy is likely to lead. . . . It
will be essential reading for all energy practitioners in Trinidad
and Tobago and all other petroleum producer governments and
companies. -- Paul Tempest, recipient of lifetime awards from the
International Association of Energy Economics in 2008 and the
British Institute of Energy Economics in 2010
