Minister of Natural Resources, Raphael Trotman, and a team, yesterday, toured oil giant ExxonMobil’s storage yard at the Wieting and Richter Wharf to get a closer look at the company’s drilling pipes and other equipment, as it prepares to start drilling its second well here.
Trotman was accompanied by Minister of Business, Dominic Gaskin and Minister of Public Infrastructure, David Patterson on the visit, a release from the Ministry of the Presidency said.
In 2015, ExxonMobil drilled the Liza-1 well in the Stabroek Block and found a significant amount of hydrocarbons that indicates the presence of oil in commercial quantities. A drilling vessel arrived in Guyana’s waters few days ago to commence drilling the Liza-2 well in the same area. (Ministry of the Presidency photo)
