A delegation of over 50 Guyanese attending the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, Texas, USA, were given a tour of the facilities of US-based consortium, Lindsayca-CH4 (LNDCH4).
According to a LNDCH4 release yesterday, the delegation which included representatives of the business community in Guyana under the leadership of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), along with representatives from the US Embassy, the Private Sector Commission, and other stakeholders, met with the senior leadership of LNDCH4, who included Nelson Drake, Hector Fuentes, and Juan Bellosta.
LNDCH4 Guyana, a joint venture between CH4 and Lindsayca, is undertaking an integrated gas processing facility at Wales in the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara as part of a US$759 million contract which was awarded to the company in November 2022.
The release explained that the tour highlighted operations for the Gas to Energy (GtE) project being built in Guyana. When completed, the integrated facility will include a natural gas liquids (NGL) processing plant and a 300-megawatt (MW) power plant that will generate electricity.
Further, the visit also offered deep insight into the continuation of progress on the much-anticipated Gas to-Energy (GTE) project which is expected to come online by 2025.
GCCI President, Kester Hutson, thanked the company for hosting the tour. “We have been hearing all about this company and in my interactions with the team members here today, I am assured that your presence in Guyana is one that will be fruitful, long-lasting and collaborative. On behalf of the GCCI, thank you for the opportunity and thank you for inviting us.”
Meanwhile, Senior Commercial Officer of the US Embassy, Daniel Gaines, stated that the US was excited to be a part of the most transformative project in Guyana’s history. “I want to say thank you to Lindsayca and CH4 for your hospitality in letting us visit and to GCCI for adding value for the Guyanese delegation by choosing this as one of the site visits. It really helps Guyanese firms get an idea of where things are going for Guyana. And what we saw today is just one subset of the quality of work in what Lindsayca does. The United States is proud to see companies like Lindsayca and CH4 partner with the Government of Guyana to undertake what is most likely the most transformative project in the country’s history. In addition to meeting future energy needs, the project will have ripple effects which will drive greater skill development and job creation in Guyana. The United States is thrilled to be a part in this effort”, he said.
