ExxonMobil seeking range of contractors

By
3 mins ago
 

In the wake of government’s  approval of its production licence, ExxonMobil today advertised for a range of services as it ramps up operations to draw oil from the huge Liza well offshore in 2020.

ExxonMobil is seeking contractors for support services for helicopter operations, maintenance and ground services. Also being sought are support services for platform supply vessels, multi-purpose intervention vessel and tanker assist tugs.

It is also seeking freight forwarding services such as packing, transport, clearance and expediting of materials to and from major international locations, Guyana and Trinidad. ExxonMobil is also seeking to rent or purchase offshore cargo baskets and containers. It is also in the market for the provision and inspection of lifting rigging and slings.

ExxonMobil says that the companies must be registered in Guyana or other Caricom countries and be registered in the supplier portal located at www.exxonmobil.com/guyanacontractors. Interested companies have to email the company at contact-EEPGL@exxonmonil.com indicating their interest and contact details.

KP taking his eyes and pass cane cutters. Even though cane cutters may not be qualified as contractors of ExxonMobil, they should not be made examples of this thread. Many of us are children and grandchildren of cane cutters. My Mousie (Aunt) from Port Mourant was a cane cutter and she was a woman. I use to watch her with amazement climbing that big truck alongside men without any help. We have to draw the line somewhere to caution how we look at generations of cane cutters that worked in the field then, and now, out of the field in thousands, wondering how they will support their children as they did before.

Went to school with a Rosanna Jairam from portuguese quarter...more Rose Hall than Port Morant. She lived with her brother alone there and they were both in their teens. Her mom was in England and they had to finish school before joining her.    She was a couple of years older than me and possibly was the reason I aced GCE O levels. She had regular hours to study and stuck to it.She forced me to study

Saw her a few years back and she was just as I remembered her as a kid, free spirited, goal oriented, feisty and absolutely alluring.  Some people don't ever leave your mind and are the measure for all others. I was a free range kid and my first experience of a discipline life came from her.  She had complete freedom as a teen but self regulated her life  and had set goals. Some people are born pure gold.

Cane cutters like anyone else can be trained to do any job, even some dumb ass who post here. Closing sugar factories is a positive example for  retraining.

Some of my best friends, after leaving primary school were cane cutters  with their dad.  They afterwards  attended high school and graduated  from UG, who became teachers and did well overseas.

Me even know friends from cane cutter families who came overseas with a primary school education and  retired as engineers   with large companies and good pensions.   

The thinking regarding  this post  causes Guyana to drown deeper into the Atlantic,  wid dem shallow mind to degrade people.

Stormy, I attended St. Francis . What you described is my regular stomping grounds as a kid, including the school across the street from PQ.  My mom was from PM and the Bangaree family was our anchor at Free Yard,  with our grandparents.

I remember Portuguese quartiers  for its black cake at Christmas and pudding.  The only thing that identify PQ now, is a sign near the bridge that says 'PQ Kali Mai temple'. The trench is full with garbage and weeds  and no houses remaining..

Across the highway   at the house near the bridge and trench, I would to meet a boy that lived there in the 1960s. He might be in the mid 60s now. I saw something that boy experience that is still vivid in my mind and would very much like to meet him.

I have a photo taken by Mootoo of the Williamsburg Lutheran church youth group [with me] when Mabel ? of RH was leaving for England. I believe Rosanna is in that picture  and will confirm the name of the person I suspect to be her with Leon McKoon of Rose Hall ,   who now lives in England.  Many of the RH youth in the picture came from Wismer.

How did you arrive at this conclusion in the title of this thread?  I guess your insecurities getting the better of you. Some of you all have serious issues.

Some cane cutters are far better off than KP. Off season, some drive Taxis. Apart from cane cutting, some plant vegetables for the market or fish. These people know how to live off the land. Only if they can be convinced to drink less rum. KP gets his welfare money deposited monthly from the Provincial and Federal govment.

It's true that I don't know you. You have got to be a person with great business acumen skills to be able to buy and sell me. Hope the profit pays for your travels. Aunt Mary said that you have HBP. Please take your meds and good luck with your travels. Do you know Yusuf? He used to ride a Harleys back in days when you were teaching.

Except for me, all the male members of my family are cane cutters. They all came to America and are doing well...enjoying retirement. Cane cutters earn an honest living.

Skelly, we also had a few cane cutters in our family, who did well overseas. Some even went for higher education and had good jobs. I always look forward to carrying their lunch later in the morning to the  nearby cane field. They always have the best pieces of suga cane fa me, that me share wid me sisters and brothers. Sometimes me ride our donkey to  the cane field.  

One of the proudest thing me see was a cane cutter going to school overseas  and working with their children  to finish their assignments.  

Mits, me remember the separate kitchen. Now me thinking it must have been separate because of the smoke from the fireside. Because our cooking area in our downstairs kitchen was black with smoke.  It always seem to smoke more when we cant find de pookney, because someone used it to chase a stray dag from the yard.    Poor pookney.   PP. Now its called Power Point.

Back tonight. Me have  a photo shoot at a an airline golf tournament fundraiser to help  medical passengers.

Enjoy the summer and don't think of January 15 weather, walking backwards against the cold wind.     Sorry for the reminder.
