Proposals invited for gas infrastructure to support upstream developments

Even as construction continues in Region Three at the site for the proposed Gas to Energy (GTE) Project, the government yesterday advertised Requests for Proposals (RFP) for the Design, Finance, Construction, and Operation of what it called a Gas Infrastructure to Support Upstream Developments.

This newspaper understands that it is a different operation from the GTE project, though its exact purpose is unclear. Nebulous too, is if this facility will also be located at or near to the GTE project site on the West Bank Demerara. Efforts to contact Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat, to gain clarity on the notice, were futile as messages went unanswered.
