ExxonMobil’s local affiliate, Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL), has submitted an application for environmental authorisation for a 12-well Exploration and Appraisal (E&A) Drilling Programme in the Canje Block, offshore Guyana.
In a notice to the public issued last Sunday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said the proposed project has been screened by the Agency, which has determined that the project will not significantly affect the environment. As a result, the EPA has been determined that the project does not require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
