If Canadians can’t get 0 from their waters, power, forests, agricultural and lands, etc... how would Guyana? And Guyana can’t negotiate if they can’t match or bring anything to put on the table. 1% are the actual winners as always, don’t be fool by this discovery. At first i was so happy, after watching this and putting two and two, I am down as ordinary Guyanese joe.
Mr trotman need at least 12 petroleum engineers to advise him on oil exploration on offshore drilling or Exxon and the other oil company will rob him blindly , and walk away after the oilwells run dry ,they try that in Trinidad but they got kick of before it could happen
A great presentation indeed!Asking the right questions ,is of utmost importance ,before one embarks on an errand that is both tricky (unknown)or a rich bonanza!There are no easy solutions here,so this video is indeed, hitting the nail on the head,so to speak!In a nutshell,everything is unknown at this point!We cannot yet imagine, the final outcome of this grand scheme and to it's future direction !All scenarios are on the table,I think,with no one really knowing how it all plays out,in the end!
Guyana has been a "de facto" colony of Unites States and of the United Kingdom since 1966 with the acknowledgement of a border dispute with Venezuela which has the military capability and will-power to invade Guyana and seize ALL its mineral resources including OIL and GAS. The acknowledgement of this illegal claim was a condition for Guyana's being granted (superficial) Independence - a bogey. The ALL of Guyana is owned and controlled by United Kingdom and, more importantly, by United States with its Exxon Mobil conglomerates. Guyana hardly has any independent say in matters of OIL and GAS EXPLORATION, ACQUISITION, SALES and DISTRIBUTION etc. What a socio-economic conundrum! Le Pauvre Guyana! La Pauvre Guyane Anglaise! Hasta la proxima vez!
@Moray House trust, is it not possible to upload the entirety of this discussion? wider context is needed since some very alarming points have been raised here.
Thanks for your query. We hope to post additional clips from the other presenters on this panel shortly. There is a playlist with footage from previous panels and presentations on oil.
Is is very nice of Murray House to come in and to read and explain the contract for those who cannot read ,But they are still so dum,and ignorant,hey still do not understand was was written in the contract,
interesting however sadly this is common practice, the continuous exploitation by the West, of the Caribbean and Africa. This is how these nations were able to build their economies, through parasiting, exploiting and abusing poorer nations for profit. This is modern day imperialism.
Please , in this day and age when " Underdeveloped" countries which demand inclusion and a place at the round table need to get their act together . Problem is these countries have backward corrupt governments which can be exploited just as they exploit the people they govern . Stop the whining , moaning and lamenting this is friken 2019...get with the program .
IF The Cost Is Higher Than The Productions Only Them There Can Be Eminent Dangers! The Contractor Are Responsible For Well And The Security Of Their Operations!
I think apnu ppp afc need to come together as one and look at ways to tighting the law in Guyana fave because all these company is looking to exploit the country
In life things sounds great through speech and appear great on paper. Let's be positive, Guyana will flourish whether the funds are properly managed or miss-managed.
Guyana also has a boarder dispute with Suriname at the east south boarder. Not the Coroniriver is de border in the south between these two countries, but the Upper Corantineriver that the Guyanese people call New river is the boarder between these two countries. The whole part of land between Upper Corantineriver and Coroniriver is Suriname soil, it belongs to Suriname and not Guyana. Keep that in mind.
It's Guyanese on every global map. Only not on the Surinamese maps, lol. Guyana invaded the area 50 years ago because they knew Suriname would not fight back. Too scared of Guyana, lol. And now it is theirs. That's the way it goes. Take what you want by force.
What Guyana should have done is just try to calculate the amount of oil that could be extracted then post it on the internet and when other oil companies throughout the world would reply with their proposal then guyana should select the best proposal that will benefit the country.
You are 100 percent correct, madam, I had rise these points hundreds of time amount businessmen and women and ordinary people of Guyana but they cannot understand because they have limited knowledge or no experience in oil extraction and refinery. I had rise the point that the extraction of buxsite and gold did not benefit Guyana and its people, so this oil exploration and extraction will be the same as gold and buxsite. I work in the oil and gas industry here in the Middle East and what I have experience is this, where there is oil there is always wars and wars brings only distructions and poverty. These oil explores and extractors like countries like Guyana to do business where there is division amount it's people. Examine those oil rich countries in Africa and ask why they are still not developed and so poor. Guyana has no military strength and the population is tiny.
i said it once and i will said it twice the people of guyana will not benefit from this wealth. the poor will still be poorer with nothing to gained from it.
The more I hear about the contracts the more it seems that they were written 100% in favor of the oil companies. If half of what you are saying is true, I can only conclude idiots were representing Guyana as the contracts were negotiated. Now, Guyana will be better off financially whether it gets $1 or $1 billion. The big question is whether the leaders will use the money to line their pockets.
Ocean currents flow westwards from the Amazon to Caracas through the Caribbean basin. When an oilspill occurs on the Stabroek Block, the entire South American northern coast's marine species and fisheries will suffer irreparable damages, especially the Venezuelan coast where the currents curve northwards. WHAT IF THAT OILSPILL IS DELIBERATE !! JUST TO SABOTAGE Venezuela's Economy. Guyana has nothing in the contract to hold Exxon responsible for such disasters deliberate or accidental. Speculation? Oh no! Wait until it happens. Remember EXXON VALDEZ in the Prince Williams Sounds, Alaska ........
Exxon is there to make money in whatever way it can so stop thinking about Exxon being a nice guy .These type of people have brought our ansesters as slaves to Guyana and other places by shiploads if resisting or show any signs of sickness will toss them overboard then enslaved for scores of years beating raping them and then gave them a religion of the oppressors choice then some of you think you are smarter than them but look at your history. This Government needs to first look back and then look forward to seek the future .
Pls consider supporting the campaign 'A Fair Deal for Guyana'. This is a grassroots campaign of concerned citizens of Guyana trying to protect Guyana's nature and heritage. Pls go to: www.crowdjustice.com/case/fairdealforguyana/
Bottom line: Small country with no prior experience will fail! - for success Guyana would assemble their brightest - a team that the administration can trust to develop its 5 yr policy and tactical and financial strategy - sad that we know what needs to be done but we're the only country in the world who has no clue how to count up to a million
So you're saying that the APNU negotiated a bad deal? So what is a small country like Guyana to do? Scrap the oil deal after "Oil Guru" Trottman promised the country will be awash with oil money???
Guyana has to train and educate drillers ,petroleum engineers ,rustabouts,and many many more oil rig workers on shore and offshore drilling ,then after 10 years get rid of expatriates and the government of Guyana must make it a national petroleum company ,built a oil refinery and buy oil tankers and must have foreign market to buy their oil, that the only way Guyana will see a profit the oilfields , Trinidad have some of the best oilfield workers in the world , let them help explore and drill guyanese oil field
Much of this negativity is unwarranted. By my calculation $900 + million dollars is one month of production of oil sold at $70 per barrel. Production is projected to be 500 000 barrels per day. There is enough money to cover all these costs. Please see my video on this subject.
What about the cost of exacting the oil having billons of barrels of oil does not mean you can extract all plus the cost to extract oil on land and deep offshore has different cost . Plus production starts high then decrease over time then you start pumping up the oil which means cost will go up and ExxonMobil sells the oil
Who is this woman, I absolutely love HER! !!!!! I never knew ,that oil drilling had begun, when I found out, my first question was, . WHO SIGNED THAT DARNED CONTRACT, GIVING THESE PEOPLE, PERMISSION TO DRILL.,, WHY,?? BECAUSE SO MANY PRECAUTIONS, AND DEALS HAVE TO BE PUT IN PLACE BEFORE THEY START DRILLING, THE PERSON WHO DID THIS SHOULD BE JAILED FOR BEING CARELESS, AND INCOMPETENT,I GUESS ALL THEY WERE SEEING WERE DOLLAR SIGNS,OH MY GOD! THIS WOMAN'S ARTICLE SHOULD BE BROADCASTED, ON THE FIRST OF JANUARY 2019, TO ALERT ALL GUYANESE, AS TO WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN THROWN INTO, PLEASE GOD HELP US
Trinidad will exploit guyana too like they already do. You Guyanese love Trinidad like a free twat. Guyana needs to talk with various nations to see what is best for them.
I hope the statements now mentioned with the past government still stands the same. So that guyanese will know that oil production is not ad easy ad talking about it. Let us plant our own food and eat what we grow. Food is important my fellow Guyanese.Oil is not happiness Maybe for some people. Mind you, if we have to import food because we have oil money, I don't support this.Madam Jankie's presentation needs to be taken seriously.
Suriname wants to work with Guyana so badly, Their president Santokhi is literally willing to do anything for that. Very sad really, keep in mind that Guyana signed very poor contracts and made really poor decisions. Let's hope Suriname doesn't just copy everything Guyana does. And let's hope Santokhi doesn't sell out the country to Guyana. Suriname should just leave the oil in the ground and leapfrog into the future by going 100% renewable. They can do it. Someone should keep the President Santokhi from destroying the country. There are so many ways Suriname can make money from being an carbon sink. Get advice from environmental experts !!
Are the Guyana government people BORN STUPID; or did they acquired stupidity through WICKEDNESS? This agreement will make Guyana 1000x times poorer than that the poorest country in existence. SO HOw CAN SUCH PEOPLE BE SOOO STUPID? This is a mystery to me. The answer must lies in GREAT INTERNAL WICKEDNESS of the MIND unless I learn differently later.
That lady knows nothing about oil fields and exploration ,she is an environmentalist who is trying to protect the animals and fishes and birds and other lives that depends on the ocean for food and survival, off drilling must have insurance and international environmental laws that is Govern by O.P.E.C and the U.S and other oil producing countries around the world ,
She comes with numbers and facts. Let the government do the same. then people can compare and see what is really going on. And it is true oil companies will always try to screw you ten times over. EXXON already boasting that they screwed over Guyana government.
