Vincent Adams flays EPA over renewal of Liza-1 permit

Former Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Dr Vincent Adams has called out his successor Kemraj Parsram over the recent renewal of Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited’s permit for the Liza-1 development offshore Guyana.

Dr Adams, during a Moray House Trust panel discussion “Oil, Gas and the Environment: a review” yesterday, reminded that it was Parsram who signed the initial environmental permit for the Liza-1 development in the Stabroek Block. He also noted that there were several areas that could have been improved in both the original and modified permit.
