Recent media reports seen by the Stabroek Business indicate that EXXON Mobil, the lead player in Guyana’s oil exploration and recovery pursuits have been ‘talking up’ what one report describes as the company’s “astronomical oil exploration success offshore Guyana.” Much, reportedly, is being said by the US oil giant about its “more than 20 discoveries (offshore Guyana) which have yielded more than 10 billion barrels in proven oil reserves in just six years” according to a recent report sourced to the American market analysts S&P Global Platts.
