Shell awaits OFAC approval for Dragon
The comments come against a shifting OFAC landscape for Trinidad and Tobago. The country received its first US sanctions licence for the Dragon gas field in January 2023, with Shell and state-owned National Gas Company named as authorised participants.

A revised authorisation was issued in October, reopening the door for negotiations on the field's development, though not yet granting full execution approval.

Dragon, located in Venezuelan waters near the maritime border, has long been viewed as a critical supply option for Trinidad's Atlantic LNG and downstream petrochemical sector, both of which have faced declining domestic gas availability.
