…says pipeline not active, no gas flowing through
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) have jointly rejected claims by Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed that the US$1 billion pipeline that was laid to bring natural gas onshore for the Gas-to-Energy (GtE) Project is ruptured.
The 250-kilometre (km) subsea and onshore pipeline was installed by ExxonMobil Guyana Limited (EMGL) in 2024. The United States oil major had said previously that the pipeline was filled with nitrogen and sealed off pending the start-up of the GtE Project at Wales, West Bank Demerara.
