Exxon, gov’t moving ahead with preparations for gas project

The proposed route for the pipeline

Both the government and ExxonMobil seem to be moving ahead with their plans for the gas-to-energy project despite the absence of an environmental permit from the EPA.

The project is part of the bigger plan by the government for the Wales area and will be executed in two parts. ExxonMobil will be responsible for the construction of the pipeline to transport natural gas from offshore Guyana while the government is responsible for the construction of the Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) plant and other supporting facilities.
