Residents and key stakeholders of Region One were told that even though Guyana is not producing oil as yet, it is still a significant player on the world market.
They were at the time attending the disclosure of the Payara Development Project/Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) findings at Mabaruma on Friday.
ExxonMobil’s Production Manager, Mike Ryan, in response to a question, told the gathering that based on its reserves, per capita, Guyana is one of the leading world producers. He said too that with a population of 750,000, that’s significant.
Residents also asked how the crude was being placed in the world classification, in terms of quantity and about the types of crude.
