EPA still to complete probe of one-barrel oil spill

More than two months after ExxonMobil reported that one barrel of crude oil was spilt during a maintenance activity on the Liza Unity FPSO, the Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) says its investigation into the spill is still to be completed.

EPA’s Executive Director Kemraj Parsram told Stabroek News yesterday that the investigation report is in its final stage of completion but that he is uncertain when it will be released. He noted, however, that the EPA confirmed that only one barrel of oil was spilled.
