The Vice Pres­i­dent of Glob­al Ex­plo­ration at Exxon­Mo­bil Up­stream Com­pa­ny, John Ardill, Tues­day said Trinidad and To­ba­go could repli­cate the suc­cess of Guyana as the two coun­tries con­tin­ue to ex­plore their gas and en­er­gy sec­tor.

Speak­ing at the sign­ing cer­e­mo­ny for the mul­ti-mil­lion US dol­lar agree­ment be­tween the Trinidad and To­ba­go gov­ern­ment and the US oil and en­er­gy gi­ant for the pro­duc­tion shar­ing con­tract for Block Trinidad and To­ba­go Ul­tra Deep 1 (TTUD-1), Ardill said Exxon­Mo­bil’s ex­pe­ri­ence in the re­gion, gives great hope for Trinidad and To­ba­go.

“Guyana is the fastest grow­ing econ­o­my in the world to­day. It brings so­ci­etal de­vel­op­ments and if you vis­it George­town, you will see their in­fra­struc­tur­al pro­grammes and very im­por­tant­ly jobs at the lo­cal econ­o­my.
