In addition to the announcement that the problematic compressor from the Liza Unity FPSO has been replaced and that the new one is functioning optimally at production of 140,000 barrels per day, ExxonMobil also stated that it has paid over US$10 million in fines to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a penalty for flaring of climate harming gases.
“I am happy to say that we met our expectation of delivering it, installing it and safely starting it in July and we have achieved background flare now on Liza Destiny,” Vice President and Production Manager, Mike Ryan, yesterday told the media at the company’s head office in Duke Street, Kingston, Georgetown.
