Exxon applies for flaring approval ahead of second phase of gas compressor testing

ExxonMobil on Wednesday reported progress on the installation of a repaired component of the third stage flash gas compressor on the Liza Destiny Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) oil platform in the Stabroek Block, offshore Guyana, and announced that it has applied for approval to flare above pilot levels for equipment testing.

“The upgraded and repaired discharge silencer of the third stage flash gas compressor and a new venturi were safely installed on the Liza Des-tiny and the first phase of testing was successfully completed earlier this week,” Exxon’s local Governance and Public Affairs Advisor Janelle Persaud said in a statement.
