Nalco Champion’s provisional approval for operations at the John Fernandes Ltd (JFL) Water Street Terminal was too risky for client ExxonMobil, according to Country Manager Rod Henson.
“There were some conditions in which we could be shut down and with the importance of first oil, we really couldn’t take that lack of certainty in the short term so we’re going to start operations outside of Guyana,” Henson said on Monday.
Nalco Champion last week notified the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that ExxonMobil had moved to access those services overseas.
