Ripple Prime will provide prime brokerage, clearing and financing services to funds managed by the $35 billion alternative investment manager. Ripple Prime will provide multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing and financing services to funds managed by Brevan Howard, a global investment manager with about $35 billion in assets.

According to a report by the UK Financial Times, ExxonMobil is seeking to replicate Guyana's oil and gas boom offshore Trinidad and Tobago.

Ardill said that development in Trinidad and Tobago is proceeding much faster than in Guyana.

The report said that BP, Shell, and the Trinidad and Tobago government are advancing cross-border agreements with Caracas, Venezuela, and Washington, United States, to supply Venezuelan natural gas to the country's liquefied natural gas industry.
