Introduction
Today’s column wraps-up my evaluation of whether the assertion can be plausibly sustained that Guyana’s rapidly emergent oil and gas sector has dramatically improved the fortunes of ExxonMobil going forward. An improvement in fortunes is defined by me to include both: 1) a turnaround away from the corporation’s growing indebtedness and zombification, as well as 2) other deformations generally associated with this corporation. Indeed, the latter mentioned deformations will be directly discussed in next week’s column. There the case is made for classifying ExxonMobil as a Zombie+ corporation.
