No flaring occurred during the period ExxonMobil ceased works offshore in the Stabroek Block for maintenance and satellite data shared by conservationist Annette Arjoon-Martins was that of heat from the floating production storage and offloading vessel.
Last week, Arjoon-Martins had shared four satellite images of offshore works in the Stabroek Block and when asked what it reflected said that it was of the “flaring footprint” over the period stated in addition to “temperatures which will indicate data when flaring were higher and so on.”
Arjoon-Martins’ views came on the heels of an announcement by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Director Dr Vincent Adams that oil production was expected to be ramped up to its peak 120,000 barrels of oil per day by August 10th and that routine flaring would cease at that time.
