Atlantic LNG appoints new CEO

Trinidad and Tobago’s Atlantic LNG, the operator of the Point Fortin LNG export terminal, has appointed Donnie Brown as its new chief executive officer.

Atlantic LNG announced on Thursday that Brown has assumed the role of CEO.

“With over three decades of experience across upstream and downstream oil and gas operations, he brings a strong track record in operational excellence and leading complex industrial environments,” the company said.

Prior to joining Atlantic LNG, Brown served as senior VP, safety and operational risk assurance at BP, where he was responsible for strengthening safety performance and risk management across global operations.

Atlantic LNG recently also appointed Rampersad Motilal as its new chairman.

The LNG terminal operator also shipped the 5,000th LNG cargo from its Point Fortin LNG export terminal since 1999.

In December 2023, Trinidad and Tobago finally signed a restructuring deal with the shareholders of Atlantic LNG, Shell, BP, and NGC.

The Point Fortin facility features four trains with a total capacity of about 15 million tonnes per annum of LNG, but the facility has been experiencing supply issues due to dwindling domestic gas reserves.

Atlantic LNG’s first train has been idled since 2020 due to reduced gas supplies.

Last year, Shell took a final investment decision for the development of the Aphrodite gas field to supply the LNG export plant.

The undeveloped gas field is located in the East Coast Marine Area (ECMA) in Trinidad and Tobago.

Before this, Shell took FID on the Manatee gas field in 2024 to supply the Atlantic LNG export plant.
