Pointe-à-Pierre

Pointe-à-Pierre is a town in Trinidad and Tobago. It lies north of San Fernando and south of Claxton Bay. It is most famous as the site of the country's largest (and now, only) oil refinery which is run by Petrotrin, the state-owned oil company. The oil refinery was originally built by Trinidad Leaseholds Limited and expanded by Texaco. It was transferred to Trintoc when the government purchased the land-based assests of Texaco Trinidad Limited, and then incorporated into Petrotrin.

Pointe-à-Pierre is separated from Marabella by the Guaracara River. It lies on the Gulf of Paria and is an important port for the export and import of petroleum products.
