Trinidad and Tobago’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) production increased in 2025 for the first time since 2022, even as the country continues to face feedgas supply constraints from mature offshore reservoirs, according to an Energy Chamber of Trinidad and Tobago release published on May 14.
Government data showed output from Atlantic LNG rose to 17.59 million cubic meters in 2025, up from 16.63 million cubic meters in 2024.
The 5.8% increase marked a turnaround after years of declining production tied to falling upstream gas supply and the shutdown of Atlantic LNG’s Train 1 in 2020.
“For Trinidad and Tobago, the 2025 LNG production increase is therefore more than a statistical improvement. It comes at a time when the country is working to improve commercial returns from LNG, preserve the reliability of existing infrastructure, and bring new gas into the system,” the Chamber said.

Atlantic LNG production had stood at 28.9 million cubic meters in 2015 and remained above 28 million cubic meters in 2018 and 2019 before declining sharply during the following years, the Energy Chamber noted.
Atlantic LNG remains one of Trinidad and Tobago’s most important energy assets because it provides an established route for monetizing natural gas exports, while retaining unused processing capacity that could support higher output if additional gas becomes available.
The improvement also comes after the restructuring of Atlantic LNG’s commercial framework following negotiations involving the government, bp, Shell and the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago.
“There are already signs that the commercial reset is improving the value Trinidad and Tobago receives from LNG. In 2025, revised LNG contracts had contributed to higher government revenue from LNG sales, with the country seeking to capture stronger value from its LNG exports,” the Chamber explained.
