(Trinidad Express, Anthony Wilson, 15.Aug.2018) – Upstream energy companies operating in T&T paid $123.5 billion to the Government between 2010 and 2016, according to data compiled by the Trinidad and Tobago Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (TTEITI).
The organisation provided the information in a written response to the Express Business editorial of August 1, headlined “Who controls T&T’s wealth?” In that commentary, the publication’s editor, Anthony Wilson, questioned whether the TTEITI could validate the sharing of the economic rents by BPTT as outlined by the BP’s new regional president in T&T, Claire Fitzpatrick.
