GIPEX for 2019 third quarter

Feb 14, 2019 News

The Guyana International Petroleum Business Summit (GIPEX) will be held in the third quarter of 2019. This was announced on Monday by Energy Department Head, Dr. Mark Bynoe.
The official said that the event was scheduled for March but the Department took a reasoned decision to postpone it to allow for better value of money, greater substance for potential investors and a greater line of sight.
When GIPEX was held last year at the Marriott Hotel, the event attracted over 600 participants, including exhibitors and delegates. Those behind its success included the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Guyana Office for Investment (Go-Invest).
According to organizers, GIPEX is an important initiative since it seeks to promote Guyana’s Oil and Gas Sector and will present investors with numerous avenues to explore the nation’s petroleum potential. The organizers had said that USA Oil giant, ExxonMobil, was a Strategic Partner on the project. Other Sponsors include Repsol Exploration S.A. (Guyana), Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI), Schlumberger, JHI Associates, CXG Energy Inc., Integrated Security Services, Scotiabank, and Eldorado Offshore.
GIPEX 2018 encompassed three days of presentations and interactive exhibitions. These focused on Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE), the sustainable management of the industry and incorporating Guyana’s Green Initiative into its development. The conference also included presentations and panel discussions with participants from companies such as ExxonMobil, CGX, Noble Drilling, Total SA, Eco Atlantic/Tullow, Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC), Ministry of Natural Resources, and Go-Invest.
Keynote speeches were delivered by President David Granger; Business Minister, Dominic Gaskin; Minister of Public Telecommunication Catherine Hughes and Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson.
Other key participants will include Parker Drilling, Vinci Energies Oil and Gas, National Energy Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago Limited, Cataleya Energy Limited, ROSE Environmental Ltd., Central Equipment Rentals Limited, Courtesy Garage Limited, Mid Atlantic Oil & Gas Inc. , i-Tech Services, Fircroft Group, HB Rentals, Total EP Americas, International Geological Services Ltd., Benca Process and Engineering Solutions, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Giscad Limited, KPMG, Petronas Suriname E&P B.V., Danco Electrical Contracting, Guyana Logistics and Support Services Inc., Repsol, Schlumberger, Halliburton, Saipem, and Chevron.
