The Financial Post reports in its Wednesday, Oct. 22, edition that Nutrien says it has commenced a controlled shutdown of its Trinidad nitrogen operations at its Point Lisas facility. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that the company says the shutdown is in response to port access restrictions imposed by Trinidad and Tobago's National Energy Corp. and a lack of reliable and economic natural gas supply. The shutdown will be effective Thursday. Nutrien says it will continue to assess options with respect to its operations in Trinidad. The company's ammonia and urea sales volumes from its Trinidad operations are about 85,000 and 55,000 tonnes per month. Nutrien says it expects to be within its 2025 annual nitrogen sales volume guidance range of 10.7 million to 11.2 million tonnes due to the performance of its North American nitrogen operations.
