ExxonMobil continues to flare daily 12 million -15 million cubic feet of gas from its offshore oil operations and has not given the EPA any possible cessation dates.
It has missed its August 10th promised deadline to contain flaring and has now flared a total of more than 10.2 billion cubic feet in the offshore Stabroek Block as of yesterday,
“They are still having equipment problems and have to send the equipment back to Germany and they have not given us a date as to when flaring will cease the 12-15M cubic feet per day,” Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Director Dr Vincent Adams told Stabroek News yesterday.
