The plant purifies natural gas for industrial users and exports the natural gas liquids (NGLs) removed. The project is rated BBB by Standard & Poor's, above the sovereign rating for Trinidad & Tobago, based on low break-even costs, the strategic service the plant provides to industry in Trinidad, the quality of the sponsors, a conservative ratio of debt to capitalization, and good operating and financial performance of the existing facility.
