(Kaieteur News) – The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) on Monday said it will investigate the circumstances that led to a fire aboard the Liza Unity Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, which produces over 220,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd).
Operations were suspended after heat detectors in the laundry room of the living quarters signalled a small fire.
MNR said Exxon reported to the ministry that the blaze was quickly extinguished and the appropriate response procedures were immediately initiated. Moreover, all personnel aboard the vessel are safe and accounted for.
