An audit and review of their current operations and operational issues should be completed.
Hopefully the recent closure of many oil rigs due to profitability issues has now freed up resources to allow for the assignment of the best available resources, the proper upkeep and the servicing of the high risk operations being undertaken off of Guyana’s shoreline.
The current market price for crude and the global economic environment has provided the best timing for shutting down offshore operations to properly resolve these issues while preventing environmental damage.
If under these circumstances Exxon was not willing to make such a difficult but responsible decision then we can only expect that as the global economy rebounds and future operational issues arise that poor decision making may continue where Guyana and the Guyanese people get the short end of the stick.
Guyana should not continue to give up limited oil & gas resources in a wasteful and irresponsible manner that does not add to our energy security, nor adds any financial benefit, while depleting from the health of our homeland and standing as responsible global citizens.
