Dear Editor,

Could the Ministry of Natural Resources explain where the ‘guaranteed minimum of 50 mmscfd of associated gas’ (Ministry of Natural Resources public notice 25 August 2021) will come from if ExxonMobil has only 4 per cent to spare of the 75 mmscfd of gas after the FPSOs Liza Destiny and Liza Unity and Liza Prosperity are re-injecting 96 per cent of the associated gas back into the source rocks of the Liza-1 and Payara oil fields by the end of 2024 to maintain reservoir pressure?  That 4 per cent from the three Float-ing Production Storage and Offload-ing vessels totals 3.0 mmscfd (4 per cent of 75 mmscfd = 3.0), a big difference from 50 mmscfd in the  MNR’s advertisement. Are the ExxonMobil field development plans wrong about the amount of associated gas per production well? Has ExxonMobil changed its intentions of re-injecting almost all associated gas, for which there is effectively no international market?  Has the Gov’t of Guyana failed to measure how much associated gas has actually been produced and flared by FPSO Liza Destiny since December 2019?

Sincerely,

Janette Bulkan
