Caribbean Oil Empire: Trinidad and Tobago

This is the story of oil and gas exploration in the Caribbean and the role played by Trinidad and Tobago in the world's quest for "black gold."

Beginning in 1595, the need only grew for locally available pitch in the Caribbean, and Trinidad and Tobago's reputation began to spread around the world.
