Santa Flora is a community in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It is located in southern Trinidad, and is administered by the Siparia Regional Corporation.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]After the discovery of light crude in the Palo Seco oilfield, the Trinidad Petroleum Development Company (TPD) established a refinery in Santa Flora in the 1930s. BP later acquired TPD and built its head offices in Santa Flora as it consolidated its assets in the Siparia region.[2] During the Black Power Revolution in 1969, BP's assets were purchased by the government.[3] State-owned Petrotrin operated a small petroleum refinery in Santa Flora from 1993 until the company's closure on 30 November 2018.
