Reviews

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
