(NYSE symbol: TRA), are progressing to the next phase of the study on the construction of a world scale Nitrogen manufacturing facility.  The National Energy Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago Limited has designated a site for the facility at Union Estates and the partners have negotiated a long-term natural gas supply with the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited.

The three companies have also selected a German engineering company, Uhde GmbH, to perform engineering work and develop the project cost estimates. In the process of this work, Uhde will solicit bids from International as well as Trinidadian suppliers and subcontractors, in a concerted effort to add significant local content and participation in the project. Uhde expects to complete the study by the end of the second quarter of 2005.
