Nutrien Halts Trinidad Nitrogen Operations Indefinitely Over Gas Supply Issues

Nutrien Ltd. has announced an indefinite shutdown of its nitrogen operations in Trinidad at the Point Lisas Facility. The decision follows ongoing natural gas supply constraints and persistent uncertainty over the resource. This latest action comes after the company initiated a controlled shutdown of the facility on October 23, 2025, citing port access restrictions and unreliable natural gas availability.

The company has stated that the indefinite shutdown will not impact its overall nitrogen sales volumes. Nutrien had previously faced challenges due to the lack of economic natural gas supply, which forced the earlier controlled shutdown. The recent move reflects the company’s response to continued difficulties in securing adequate gas supplies for its operations.
