Exxon monitoring elections, coronavirus impact on operations

ExxonMobil is continuing to monitor the possible implications of the post-elections situation and the global coronavirus pandemic on its operations in Guyana.

Given the current political controversy over the declaration of results by the Guyana Elections Commission coupled with the international community’s posture that it would not recognize a government sworn in under these circumstances and that there must be a recount of the ballots, Stabroek News asked ExxonMobil about plans for moving ahead with its operations here and its reactions to these events.

The company was also asked about the global coronavirus pandemic and tumbling oil prices and the implications for this country, given that it had on Monday announced spending cuts.
