Guyana issues warning to Venezuela in oil drilling dispute

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (CMC) – Guyana has issued a warning to neighbouring Venezuela to refrain from interfering in offshore oil exploration efforts.

Venezuela has objected to the planned offshore exploration by US company Exxon.

In a press release issued late Saturday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the warning follows communication from Venezuela’s Foreign Ministry to the Country Manager of Esso Exploration and production Guyana Limited, objecting to the dispatch of a rig to proceed with the exploration of an oil well.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has requested that the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela desist from taking any actions that could only result in the stymieing of the development of Guyana and its people and that would be in contravention of international law,” the release stated.

Exxon Mobil plans to invest US$200 million in drilling offshore Guyana in the Liza field, which part of the Stabroek Block.

An oilrig, Deep Water Champion, has already left the United States for Guyana where it would begin work in mid-March.

Guyana says it has since informed the 15-nation Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), Organisation of American States (OAS), the Commonwealth and the United Nations Secretary General “about this recent action by Venezuela”.

hahahahahaha.....waaaaaaaaaaaaaah Guyana! ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

Guyana is letting itself be caught up in the current american attack on Venezuela.  :-[ :-[

any reason at all the americans looking for and this oil drilling is clearly a provocation.  an' lil smelly BG issuing warning.  looks like Ramotar bought Obamas line hook line and sinker.  that is why the second visit to the white house..and given Ramotars combative tone

Guyana shud remember that the entire latin america is not on americas side, and that in the end Guyana have to deal with them all..not just Venezuela.

its a rock and a hard place but Guyana have to find a way to stiff arm Obama, to fid an acceptable ground between the 2 sides that leaves guyana smelling good in the future... that is bound to see american influence totally diminished and latin america united and powerful

without american backing guyana is nothing in latin america..700k people.  even if they bring back the whole BG disapora it makes no diff.  wat Ramotar planning to call on India ::confused::  that wont help them in this region either!

how smart and stiff is Ramotar ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::

NONSENSE!  IRRELEVANT!  IS GUYANA LOOKING TROUBLE PUSHED BY oBAMA.

IS WOOD FUH ALLYUH IN TIME BECAUSE OF RAMOTAR'S WEAK KNEED NONSENSE.
