ExxonMobil seeks to land fibre optic cable from production platform
ExxonMobil is looking to lay a subsea fibre optic cable that will connect its offshore operations with its Georgetown operations.
ExxonMobil is looking for advice on the laying of a subsea fibre optic cable to with the Liza Destiny and its Georgetown offices.
Yesterday, ExxonMobil’s local operating company, Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL) in a request for information, said that it wants a support service that will help in acquiring a permit for the network.
Named the “Fiber Optic Enablement Project”, EEPGL said it is “seeking to identify suppliers who can provide environmental and regulatory support services for the permitting of a subsea fiber optic network connecting offshore facilities in the Stabroek Block to cable stations onshore Georgetown.”
EEPGL said that it is looking for the information requested to be submitted by October 7th, 2019.
However, interested companies will have to be registered with the Centre For Local Business Development in Guyana via www.CLBDGuyana.com or by visiting the South Road center directly.
The cable will be connected to the nerve of ExxonMobil’s offshore oil production platform in the Stabroek Block…the Liza Destiny.
It will likely in real time allow ExxonMobil and other stakeholders to know what is happening on board the production platform.
