If it helps, Smasher I wrote to the EMA for an update, and received a holding reply a week ago, that began 'We thank you for your email and your continued concern on this critical issue....' They know it is a critical issue, their words - and that the press and politicians will be on their back if there is further delay. Trinidad is desperate for this gas - and so are the politicians. The next election has to be by July 2025 latest. The government's majority is very small (22 PNM to 19 UNC). If the gas development is delayed further, if there is no SPT reform, if O&G companies and investors steer clear from T&T, the economy will crash and the current politicians will be out on their ear. If the Head of the EMA fails to deliver the EIA soon, he will be booted out promptly. They know that EIA has to be delivered on this month. All in my opinion, of course.
[NB: Geopolitics - and hence oil price - T&T cannot rely on the high oil price. The Ukraine war will be over soon. The settlement has already been arranged. See Medvedev's two maps whereby the west of Ukraine will hived off into Poland and Romania:

and Ukraine-Poland merge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLhG7fC3_mE
American looters and other corporates/countries have already bought much of Ukraine's prime farmland in the West of Ukraine in anticipation of this being included in the EU on war settlement.
However, we are now moving into potential conflict/war/sanctions with China - part2 of the Thucydides Trap, whereby the declining global power (the US) tries to maintain its power as top dog by attacking the rising powers (first Russia, now China). The other ways, of course, are to have One World Government, or for the West to reduce its 'useless eater' population and thus have more wealth to distribute amongst fewer people. Or all three ways simultaneously. Cheerful, I know Will have to see how this all plays out. We live in interesting times.]
