National Oil Spill Contingency Plan
Civil Defence Commission (CDC) organized a National Oil Spill Contingency Plan (NOSCP) workshop, aimed at finalizing and providing stakeholders with an in-depth understanding of the NOSCP and the requirements, policies and procedures for its implementation.
stakeholders play a vital role in the protection of the environment and this is not only the business of the Government of Guyana, but of the entire world. input of international partners, members of civil society and all other stakeholders is critical to the development of the NOSCP.
It is of utmost national priority. Government is extremely aware of this and has consistently left no stone unturned in matters of this nature. Government accepts that it does not have a monopoly on ideas, hence, it is not hesitant to consult and have ongoing discussions with stakeholders. The plan should be tailored to fit Guyana’s circumstances. It is a “living document” which will be updated annually and enforced by the relevant agencies.
The plan was initiated in 2017, when an outline of the roles and responsibilities was created by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission (GGMC) in collaboration with the United States Coast Guard and RAC/REMPEITC- Caribe. The first draft of the plan was developed in 2018 by CDC and the Maritime Administration Department following consultations with stakeholders. A working group was subsequently established to work on the final stages of the plan.
The NOSCP plan is designed to satisfy the requirements under domestic legislation and policies, the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) and the International Convention on Oil Spill Preparedness, Response and Cooperation (OPRC). The CDC plans to finalize the NOSCP by November then it will be submitted to Cabinet for approval.
The Guyana Energy Agency, Protected Areas Commission, Guyana Marine Conservation Society, Guyana Wildlife Conservation and Management Commission, MARAD, Guyana Defence Force, the Guyana Coast Guard, Guyana Civil Aviation Authority, Aircraft Owners’ Association, Guyana Red Cross Society, RAC/REMPEITC- Caribe, Tullow Oil, Exxon Mobil, Repsol, a number of other Government agencies and civil society attended at the workshop.
Swashbuckling Energy Island Barons
With oil production looming, the Government understands the importance of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) for all, particularly those who will be directly involved in the industry.
The government welcomed the interest shown by the Energy Chamber of Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) which opened its second safety forum at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC), on , October 16, 2019. With 16 major oil discoveries since May 2015, and the huge potential economic gains expected, it is justifiable that much emphasis is being placed on the economic and social contributions of the energy sector to Guyana’s economy and the country’s readiness to benefit from the oil revenue.
Guyana continues its preparation for first oil with the drafting of the local content policy and the Natural Resource Fund, among others national plans. “.. it is critical to ensure that the required regulatory frameworks and laws are enforced to guarantee the safety of workers in the new and emerging oil and gas sector in Guyana.”
The safety forum underscored the role and importance of safety culture in achieving the desired HSE performance in the hydrocarbon industry. It also evaluated current approaches to safety culture and explore strategies to improve safety culture in the industry. Among the topics addressed were Safety and Business Performance, Contractor Safety Management: Meeting the requirements for the international oil and gas industry and Training and Assessment of HSE Professionals.
President of the Energy Chamber, Dr. Thackwray Driver, said safety in the oil and gas and any other sector is an ongoing necessity. “So, we have people, associations, partnerships as all being important to developing a safety culture… Safety is a never-ending journey, but you need to start.”
The event was dominated by TT oil barons and no representative of the American Chamber of Commerce-Guyana, Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Private Sector Commission or the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA).
One participant expressed concern about the low turnout by Guyana’s private sector. Dr Driver brushed off such concerns and said he was aware that the Guyanese business community was being inundated by people coming to give advice and “it probably can get a bit tiring”.
ECTT Executive Member, Dwight Mahabir
His assurance came against concerns by the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce that Guyanese businesses are being disadvantaged by an increasing number Trinidad companies seeking opportunities in the petroleum industry.
ECTT Executive Member, Dwight Mahabir, who registered a company in Guyana. was aware of concerns in Guyana about foreigners in the emerging oil and gas sector.
However, such critics must never discount the need for a high level of safety. “There is a real apprehension about Trinidad companies coming because they see it as, understandably, a risk to their business and so on, but there is a lot that’s involved in oil and gas that what you get away with otherwise, you are not going to get away with because it’s over a century of learning that has found itself in codes and practices and so on.”
Dr Driver warned that major oil companies would never tolerate shortcuts to safety standards because of the adverse impact that failures could cause to life and the environment. “For Guyanese companies meeting those safety requirements, that’s step one. You cannot get through the door to do business if you are not meeting those requirements. The international companies will not lower their requirements in order to do business with Guyanese companies nor should you ever asked them to or want them to because you want people to be safe.”
Participants at the “Guyana Safety Forum 2019” that was held at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre under the theme “Building a robust safety culture for private sector development”.
The importance of safety,he stressed that “You do not want to have people killed by the industry. You do not want to have spills, where you’re spilling hydrocarbons so, as a country, you should be pushing those international operators to have the highest possible standards and you should be pushing and challenging your local private sector to step up to meet those requirements,” he said.
If companies want to be part of the oil and gas sector they must meet “high” international standards which TT has racked up for more than 100 years in working with BP, Shell, and Amoco. “Each Guyanese private sector company is going to have to decide if it wants to be part of this business. What’s the best route for it to take into it.”
The forum to facilitate a culture of development for the energy sector, was sponsored by Kenson Group of Companies, a consortium acting as a service contractor to companies in the Trinidadian energy sector; and First Citizens Bank, a Trinidadian financial institution with CARICOM offices in Barbados and St Lucia.
Exhibitors and delegates included Caribbean Tower Cranes Limited, Caribbean Safety Products Limited, HHSL Safety Systems Limited and the Hummingbird Group, IWES Limited,Oshes Limited, None of these companies or organisations is Guyana owned.
Some of those companies opened offices in Guyana, and others intend to do so.
Presentations were made by Massy, ExxonMobil, STOW, Saipem, OPITO, Houston Area Safety Council. The public sector included the Ministry of Social Protection, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), TVET Guyana, and the National Advisory Committee on Safety and Health.
While individual invitations were not sent to private sector bodies, advertisements invited the public to the paid event to share knowledge of the oil and gas sector to build a robust safety culture with the two CARICOM founders. Dr. Driver did not want to deviate from the event’s focus on safety but Guyanese should not fear Trinidadians coming here as there is much this country could learn in areas of oil and gas.
“Trinidadian companies are not coming to take over, Trinidadian companies are coming because they are seeing business opportunities in a fast developing area where there are huge opportunities that exist for everybody. We are here because we have a lot of experience and the Trinidadian Chamber…we help our members meet those international requirements. So we offer a service to our member companies to be able to meet those international requirements so they can operate and I think that is something we can offer to people in Guyana; our knowledge and experience of what it takes for you to meet those requirements.”
“We have had some things which they should not have gone (the way they did) so there are lessons we can share talking about our safety programme. You don’t have to make that same mistake you can learn from our mistake so you don’t have to. You can learn the lessons already.” .
In Guyana’s emerging oil and gas sector, there will be a diversity of roles for companies in the international petroleum industry.
ExxonMobil opened The Centre for Local Business Development, on July 13, 2017, a space for local firms to learn about opportunities in the oil and gas sector, strengthen their competitiveness and prepare to join the oil and gas supply chain.

Trinidadian magnates established a business presence here and ECTT has seen interests from larger companies that are going to be selling to major operators and other Trinidadian companies which are looking to partner or act as an intermediaries for Guyanese service companies.
“We are a real mix of Trinidadian companies. There is the freedom of capital to move around the Caribbean so companies are going to be here and investing. Some things that used to be invested directly from Trinidad to Guyana’s offshore industry, and that has been going on for a while …over time you will see that shifting and coming directly from here.”
The ECTT President emphasized that there is much Guyana could learn from its CARICOM neighbour as after 100 years of an oil and gas sector, many skills could be transferred and experiences shared. Standards which companies need to meet to operate in the oil and gas industry are the same throughout the world from which this country can learn.
Petroleum Peacemakers, Peppers and Pineapples
A past Minister of Energy in Trinidad refuted claims that his compatriots are coming to Guyana to take over the local petroleum industry. Pouring oil on troubled waters Kevin Ramnarine said,
“The oil is the property of Guyana and under the Production Sharing contracts, with ExxonMobil, HESS and CNOOC and so on, so I don’t see how Trinidad could get involved in that because it is already contractually bound –the sale of the oil –and how the oil is shared.”
“So from a contractual point of view, it is not possible that Trinidad will come and take your oil,”
The influx of businesses into Guyana cannot be stopped as both countries are founder members of the Caribbean Community which promotes free movement under which citizens of Guyana also migrate for work in CARICOM.
The MOU in 2018 supports free trade which a delegation of ministers led by Prime Minister Nagamootoo sought in Trinidad on an ‘Investment outreach’ where they “engaged with over 200 investors and detailed investment opportunities in Guyana, extending a welcome to “regional investors to Guyana”.
Former Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Robert Persaud said “Trinidad and Tobago has been so far very predatory in how it has approached opportunities in the oil and gas sector in Guyana and we need to push back.” Trinidadian companies have set up trucking services, airport taxi services and supply commodities directly to the oil rigs offshore Guyana. Guyanese should be given these opportunities.
Anxiety over “foreigners” controlling the industry drives Local Content Policy.
Prominent Peacemaker Ramnarine suggested joint ventures will not be seen as predatory. “I would hope that when Trinidad companies come into Guyana they would do so through the route of forming a joint venture or some sort of joint ownership company with Guyanese businessmen…I think that approach cannot be deemed to be predatory. I agree with .. the Private Sector Commission (PSC) and other persons in Guyana…you have to put your foot down when it comes to local content. You have to make that case for the maximization of local content in Guyana so as much as can be done in country – should be done in country.”
Trinidad which developed its petroleum industry over a century has been offering assistance to the local industry. Having earned the experience from working in the industry, Trinidadian businesses are taking advantage of free movement provisions under CARICOM .
Guyanese companies export seafood, rice, fruit, vegetables and other produce to CARICOM and international markets which contribute to foreign exchange earnings and provide jobs for thousands in Guyana.
“THE Government has no policy to ban or restrict the importation of fruits or vegetables. Cabinet is in favour of free trade and does not wish to impede the choice of consumers on the local market,” Director of Public Information Imran Khan said . The Ministry of Agriculture will continue to support local farmers and seek overseas markets for their produce while advancing agro-processing. . Imports of produce are subject to known licensing requirements and procedures of the Guyana Revenue Authority and other relevant agencies.
After officials from both states met at the Ministry of Agriculture, Land, and Fisheries of Trinidad and Tobago, requirements were met and Trinidad and Tobago removed restrictions on pineapples and peppers, identified by Guyana as possible trade barriers to export of agricultural products. Honey, bees and bee products are protected by a Food and Drug Act of 1960 and Beekeeping and Bee products Act of 1935 violating the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas (RTC) with prohibition of honey imports to the island.
Insular Xenophobia stymies the oil of life
Georgetown, Guyana – (September 19, 2018) President Granger said that the private sector of Guyana has nothing to fear as he signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the Energy Sector Cooperation between the Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago with the Prime Minister Dr. The Honourable Keith Rowley.
Fears over a Trinidad take over, are unjustified and baseless. The private sector should be proud and pleased with the step that the two Governments have taken today.
“There is nothing in the MoU, which seeks to harm the interests of one State or the other. There is no sell out. There were some unjustified fears that Guyana is giving away the family jewels but that is not true. It is simply a means of collaborating. Trinidad is bringing years of experience not only in production but in marketing, in gas, in oil spills, in dealing with multinational corporations and the MoU is a means of benefiting from Trinidad and Tobago’s expertise and experience. So that fear of giving away is completely unjustified.”
The two States have enjoyed strong and cordial relations for a very long time, Guyana has always regarded Trinidad as a very close friend in the international arena. As Guyana embarks on the new oil and gas sector, Trinidad has the technical expertise and experience, from which Guyana can benefit .
“We expect that as a result of this engagement today, relations between our two Republics will become stronger. Today’s meeting has been a clear redefinition and reassertion of our Caribbean identity. There is much that we have to learn from Trinidad and Tobago. Trinidad and Tobago is one of the most developed countries in the Caribbean in terms of its economy, manufacturing, exports, standard of living, education and Guyana is the largest CARICOM [Caribbean Community] state. We have abundant raw materials, natural resources, gold, diamonds, timber, manganese, bauxite and we are confident that by collaborating, we will be able to combine the natural resources of Guyana with the entrepreneurial expertise, capital and investment from Trinidad and Tobago.”
Prime Minister Rowley, stated that Trinidad and Tobago has been and continues to be a gateway to the world for Guyana. The signing represents the documentation of two countries’ commitment to do more in enabling relations with respect to the generation of economic and other kinds of cooperation to the benefit of the people of Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago.
“We anticipate that the role of the Government in laying the groundwork and providing the encouragement for our private sectors to seize opportunities, which are available to both countries at this time, could only be a good thing for the people of Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana. We also mentioned, if not discussed in detail, the existence of invisible borders in our endeavours and where we should acknowledge their existence and to let our efforts identify the resources in each of our countries and to put those resources whether it be financial, raw material or entrepreneurial skills to work so as to grow the economy of Trinidad and Guyana. We are two groups of people with so much in common and so much history and so much common desire to advance ourselves that we should not be held back by the bureaucratic impediments,.”
It is the hope of both countries that the discussions and MoU will would ensure that actions are taken and results are felt.
“Ministers have spoken to their colleagues about what we are doing and what we can do to further cooperation in the various areas represented. We have had some very fruitful discussions and we look forward from moving away from talking about what should be done and what we should be doing and actually moving to the doing phase. It is my expectation that in the coming months and years ahead that our people can see more action in the areas of cooperation and development…we believe that what is good for Trinidad and Tobago in this business is also good for Guyana. We can only see positives if we collaborate…,” .
The signing of the MoU followed the bilateral meetings. Prime Minister Rowley was accompanied his Ministers of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs, Energy and Energy Industries, Planning and Development,Agriculture, Land and Fisheries, Sport and Youth Affairs. .
Analyst Indeera Sageewan-Alli agreed the MOU is a good arrangement and outlines an intent on the part of both parties for cooperation to happen. entering into this kind of agreement with Guyana was extremely useful.
“The proximity between Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana, the extent to which Trinidad has experience in the hydrocarbon sector, given what is happening with our own sector in terms of our ability to sustain it, does definitely mean that Trinidad and Tobago has to be looking outside if we want to continue to deepen and expand our sector.”
The success of the MOU depends on “how it rolls out into actual projects, actual opportunities for cooperation, where we could actually see personnel employed in Guyana productively, given the expansion and the development of the Guyana industry.”
Already, voices in Guyana said that T&T did not treat Guyana very well and “therefore we don’t think that you are necessarily our best ally.”
Former minister Robert Persaud, in an open letter to Prime Minister Rowley on his Facebook page,queried the “newly birthed excitement to visit Guyana and to partake in our oil and prosperity.”
Persaud said as someone who still believes in the potential of the Caricom project, it was “always comforting when we can identify strengths in each other and develop synergistic arrangements for mutual benefits.” It is a position which Guyana pursued “whole-heartedly and enthusiastically” since the dawn of the regional integration movement.
Describing Guyana as the “land of the next regional energy giant,” he listed seven questions the people of Guyana ask. These included whether this T&T is committed to reducing the massive trade deficit between Guyana and T&T and when non-tariff barriers which prevent entry of Guyana’s agricultural products to the T&T market will be lifted.
T&T model of managing oil and gas wealth has proven to be one of the “less inspiring ones across the globe and a model Guyana should not adopt in full.”
Sageewan-Alli said there are a lot of advantages for both parties in the arrangement.
“There is for example talk of the establishment of a refinery, a small refinery. If that is happening, certainly Trinidad and Tobago has the expertise.”

ExxonMobil engagements
ExxonMobil Guyana is continuing engagements in coastal regions to ensure that communities are informed about its operations.
Updates are simultaneously being provided on Payara, the third project, which is scheduled for startup in 2023.
ExxonMobil personnel at Lake Mainstay
One event was staged at Lake Mainstay in Region Two.
“We are also providing and showcasing information about oil spill response and equipment. We are working with the CDC in this effort to better educate and have awareness of how we would respond in the event of an oil spill emergency,” explained Senior Director for Public and Government Affairs, Deedra Moe.
[This activity was preceded by an ‘Open House’ on the Payara Project Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Region 4 on September 30, 2019 l.
Environmental Science and Engineering students of the University of Guyana were among 200 delegates. at the event. it featured information desks at which subject matter experts were available to answer questions.
ExxonMobil Guyana has been seeking ways to enhance the effectiveness of engagements.
“Trying to channel the feedback from folks at previous projects and engagements, the consultants have developed a non-technical summary of the Environmental Impact Assessment to provide key information and learnings from that assessment,” Moe said.
Similar engagements will be held in Regions One, Three, Five and Six over the next few weeks.
ExxonMobil is preparing to start producing oil in Guyana’s offshore concession, with the Liza Destiny facilities already in place and currently being installed.
IMF Mission Chief
Transparency, evidence-based investment decisions
If Guyana is to avoid the oil resource curse, policymakers need to structure the Public Investment Programme to embrace transparency and evidence-based investment decisions.
So said the IMF Mission Chief to Guyana, Arnold McIntyre who related in an interview with Trinidadian economist Marla Dukharan that Guyanese authorities are significantly concerned that recent oil discoveries could lead to the oil resource curse.
Guyana cannot afford bureaucratic delays in doing business,
“To ensure that the no-oil economy continues to expand, one cannot sit on one’s laurels. You have to pursue the improvement to infrastructure, improve the ease of doing business.”
Last year, Guyana dropped eight places in the World Bank’s rankings for the ease of doing business, falling to a ranking of 134 out of 190 countries, from a ranking of 126 in 2017. 2016 had seen one of the country’s biggest gains in recent years on the ranking as it had moved up 16 places to 124 from 140 in 2015. In 2014, the country was ranked at 132.
Trent Partners on $5M Project to Shape Sustainable Capacity Building for Guyana

A groundbreaking new partnership between Trent University and the University of Guyana (UG) aims to increase and retain the pool of highly skilled workers in Guyana.
The Advanced Academic and Research Program in Sustainable Transformation of Guyana was announced at the UG on October 3. The program will be funded by $5 million (Cdn) invested by CGX Energy Inc., Guyana’s pioneering Indigenous oil and gas exploration company, and its joint venture partner, Frontera Energy Corporation FEC to train and develop future leaders into the next generation of pivotal highly-skilled Guyanese trainers required to transform the country into a robust sustainable economy.
The funding of the 12 scholarship awards for the pursuit of higher degrees at Trent University will focus on the development and funding of local research projects in areas of greatest national need for Guyana; and the provision of technical support in areas critical to the transformation of The University of Guyana.
Dr. Paloma Mohammed said the project will open new doors for the country’s premier tertiary institution.
“It is going to pay for funding, ..for publication and travel… accommodation and tuition for over five years. A very important aspect to UG during our transformational process is that CGX and Trent will also lend technical support to the university in the areas of strengthening our financial, HR and security systems.” .
Manager of Trent University’s Office of Innovation, John Knight said the collaboration is a strategic partnership with a purpose. This is a rather exciting initiative that is taking place here. Two universities one in Canada, one in Guyana. A small university, Trent and a larger university UG.
The program is targeted at addressing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals as they apply to Guyana and will focus on 5 areas: Watershed Ecosystems and Water Quality; Sustainable Food and Agriculture; Indigenous Studies; Natural Products, Materials Physics and Chemistry.
Dr. Neil Emery, vice president, Research and Innovation at Trent University, says partnering in the new research program is a natural evolution for Trent’s long relationship with the Guyana “For over 50 years, Trent has welcomed outstanding Guyanese students who graduate to fulfilling and successful careers. When Guyanese Dr. Suresh Narine, himself a Trent alumnus, accepted a prestigious professorship and research chair position at Trent University in 2009, the institution also deepened its ties with Guyana and formed a relationship with Guyana’s Institute of Applied Science and Technology. We are delighted to continue to host Guyanese students as an integral partner in this groundbreaking CSR program. This effort will engage Trent’s world-class programs, guided by renowned faculty and enabled by unique infrastructure in support of Guyana-centered research programs targeted at the realization of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.”
Trent University is well-positioned to lead the training for Guyanese graduate students with our long-standing reputation as a leader in social and environmental innovation. Trent is home to the first-ever Ph.D. program in Indigenous Studies in North America, a globally-recognized School of the Environment, and a world-renowned Centre for Biomaterials Research. Trent faculty who will be supervisors for the future research projects by the Guyanese students are professors Chris Metcalfe, Neil Emery, Raul Ponce, Andrew Vreugdenhil, Asaf Zohar, Karen Thompson, Dan Longboat, and Suresh Narine.
As a partner in the program, Trent University will receive $3.35M over five years to fund 12 scholarship awards for UG employees to pursue graduate studies and training at Trent. Guyanese receiving the scholarships to pursue advanced level degrees at Trent will return to Guyana following the completion of their research with new skills to contribute to future initiatives supporting economic growth in the country.
