Location of Oilfields and Gas Fields in Trinidad and Tobago
Map of Trinidad and Tobago Showing the Location of Oilfields and Gas Fields:
* Oil fields can be found on land in the southern areas of Trinidad as well as off the east and west coast in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Paria respectively.
* All gas fields can be found offshore. The majority can be located in the Atlantic Ocean off the east coast of Trinidad. Other gas fields can be found of the west coast and to the north of Trinidad and to the west of Tobago.
