A local oil and gas association that had been founded in a blaze of publicity in October 2016 is no longer functioning.
Following ExxonMobil’s first oil discovery in 2015, a number of organisations trumpeting oversight of the sector were formed but the first of these, the Guyana Oil and Gas Association (GOGA) has quietly become defunct.
With a grand launch at the Marriott Hotel back in 2016, GOGA had promised to be a voice of the citizenry that would not only assist in the creation of employment opportunities but ensure there is transparency and equitable distribution of benefits from the sector.
