Nutrien confirms indefinite shutdown at Point Lisas

WACK News synthesis · Published 6 October 2026 · 7 AM edition

Nutrien confirms an indefinite shutdown of its Point Lisas nitrogen business, citing continuing gas constraints. The facility has been idle since October 2025.

The decision, announced on 5 October, follows a review of strategic alternatives and discussions with stakeholders. Nutrien previously halted production on 23 October 2025, citing port-access restrictions and the lack of reliable, economic natural gas supply. The company says its 2026 nitrogen sales forecast is unchanged because it had already assumed no production from Trinidad.
