Dear Editor,
ExxonMobil’s affiliate in Guyana, Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL) wishes to respond to a letter titled: “Was a feasibility study done for this Crab Island facility?’ in the Kaieteur News that was published on 13 May. EEPGL is pleased at the interest shown by the students of the University of Guyana on the oil and gas developments in our country, and we are committed to engaging with students and other stakeholders on the status and progress of our operations. The title of the article “many key oil and gas questions to be answered” is what drives the many public engagements and one-on-one meetings that EEPGL has participated in around the country over the past year. These engagements seek to share the elements of a comprehensive draft environmental impact assessment (EIA), important project updates, and capacity building material. A critical component of our work at ExxonMobil is engaging with the public to answer questions on local content, technology, safety, potential and assessed impact, benefits, jobs, and other topics.
There are numerous means by which we engage with public requests and share information. Information about our project, its overview and potential development plan is hosted on the ExxonMobil Guyana website (www.exxonmobil.com/guyana). In addition to the website, we operate a regularly updated and responsive Facebook page (ExxonMobil Guyana), where we welcome questions and recommendations. The aforementioned draft EIA can be accessed on the EPA website. The EEPGL telephone number is 592-231-2866 and our address is 99 New Market St. North Cummingsburg, Georgetown, Guyana. We welcome any enquires concerning the exploration and development of this valuable resource.
