One week after ExxonMobil announced a one-barrel oil spill from the Liza Unity FPSO in the Stabroek Block, the Alliance For Change (AFC) is calling on the government to better equip the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) so that it can independently monitor activities offshore Guyana.
Last Saturday, ExxonMobil said that the team on the Liza Unity FPSO observ-ed a sheen on the water in the vicinity of the vessel. Initial investigations indicated that approximately one barrel of crude oil was released during a maintenance activity on the vessel. The activity was immediately stopped and the leak isolated.
