A person does not have the rights to oil and other natural resources under their property.

Where the natural resources are developed, the company will be granted access to the areas of the developed resources.

Sometime in late 60s to early 70s I remember hearing oil found on some property then never heard a word after. Does anyone remember this?

Correct -- and all news quickly went blank.

In those days, oil was the prime item in Trinidad and Venezuela.

DG it is possible the US and Britain did not want the government at the time of the find, to be in a position where they could have become wealthy. It would be interesting to find out more on this and as you said..why did things go blank?

Home Oil, a Canadian company, found oil at Karanambo but it was determined that the oil was not available in commercial quantities.

Cain, briefly to your comments.

In the early 1960 explorations showed that oil and natural resources exist in commercial quantities in Guyana.

However due to the political situation; first with the PPP in government the approach for further developments were depressed.

When the PNC came to power in 1964 there were a few initiatives. However, as the political situation made a drastic turn when the PNC government nationalised businesses and Forbes Burnham was firmly aligned with the then USSR, issues came to an end.

Also of note, oil was already developed in Venezuela and Trinidad, places which were then; especially Venezuela; firmly aligned with the US_of_A.

Guyana has a history of petroleum exploration. Guyana's offshore Guyana Basin and the inland Takatu Basin have attracted companies such as Shell, Total and Mobil since the 1940s who have done much geological surveyance of the area and have drilled a number of wells.^[1]

I can recall Takatu Basin was mentioned.

Does Guyana have a statute to this effect (as you stated above) ?

Relevant statutes exist in Guyana regarding ownership/occupancy of lands and the ownership of natural resources.
