Since 2015, US oil field service company Halliburton has been providing various drilling and completion services in Guyana, all of which were initially supported from neighbouring Trinidad and Tobago. The company has developed what it describes as ‘an early ambitious plan’ to migrate the support structure for these services to Guyana to enhance operational efficiency and reliability over the long term.
The Berbice Deep Water Port facility will be located 4.8 km from the Berbice River mouth which is 11 – 13 hours sailing time to the Stabroek Block and shorter times to the Corentyne, Kanuku, Orinduik and Demerara Blocks. This is compared to 2.5 days from Trinidad, from where much of the offshore activities in both Guyana and Suriname are being serviced.

By the end of this year over 90 percent of Halliburton services will be provided out of Guyana

Guyanese too damn ungrateful. They forgot the millions upon millions of debt that they owed to us that we forgave on multiple occasions, and after many years of non-repayment to boot. However, given the PNM's disastrous handling of Petrotrin and out own oil/gas sector, can we really blame them?

Your comment only magnifies the debacle that we are in. We are perhaps the only country with such a long history of oil/gas production that isn't first world, or close to it. You cannot separate politics from it because it is precisely politics that caused us to be where we are today, and yet there is no real push towards renewables, we have taxes on hybrids, gas shortages in spite of multiple plant closures.

And your comment just doubles down on the ignorance and sprinkles it with the ubiquitous UNC pessimism on anything Trinbagonian once it is not in the thin sliver when UNC in power. Length of time in the oil industry doesn't equate to wealth in the O&G industry. We had peak oil in 1978 and has been on a decline since then. Were you born yet? I wasn't, so for you and other town criers to be bemoaning the energy sector in decline, I want to know how do you propose replenishing such a resource? The very politician you criticise, Manning, gave it an extra bump by monetising natural gas and creating downstream industries. That gave us a highest economic growth in the 2000s for the region. But now the world has caught up and the demand for the products are down.
The energy sector was never meant to be forever, T&T had its hay day but now is the time not to kill the industry but create other industries to become less dependent on energy.
And as further demonstration of your ignorance you say "there is no real push towards renewable" when we are building the largest solar park in the region https://www.loopcayman.com/content/imbe ... 0Caribbean.

You are right in that things haven't changed. You're still ascribing meaning to other people's actual written words. Show me where I stated that somehow under the UNC there was also not the required effort to better our position wrt to the remaining reserves. Also if you'd be so kind to point out where I advocated "kill(ing) the industry" or "replenishing a resource" that is non-renewable
One sparrow doesn't make a summer, so while laudable, if all we have to show for the last few decades is a solitary solar park, and that is your definition of success after more than a decade, well I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Also, T&T electricity production has been fuelled by natural gas, up until recently one of the cheapest forms of energy. It was only recently surpassed by solar, which we are now engaging in.

Zoom you conflating a concentric solar plant with a photovoltaic plant. The plant you posted there is a CSP, we are building a pv plant.
Habit7 wrote:Zoom all solar power plants work in the daylight. That is a given. It captures the power and stores it in batteries for later use. It is supplemented by other forms such as natural gas.

Plus it could help solve the issues with T&TEC not paying NGC for the gas all while reducing subsidies on electricity while using a cheap source.
Megawatt solar farms do not store electricity. It's either you consume it or not ( relative power and active power) It is very very costly to implement inverters and lithium batteries for Megawatt production. It is just not cost effective.Habit7 wrote:Zoom all solar power plants work in the daylight. That is a given. It captures the power and stores it in batteries for later use.

the viability of any power plant is dependent its energy storage solution. u will take a certain amount of time to recover that capital investment. and the battery storage systems for solar generation have life spans. if u have to replace ur batteries before u recoup ur capital, u make a buss.
the reason why other island will find natgas more expensive than solar is cause they dont have it in the ground like us. why its expensive for us, is that we chill it and ship it to america. but if we dont do that, buring it for electricity will be cheap.... if we dont use it for any other purpose.
but if it makeing a profit by selling it, might as well.
NGC gonna foot the $300m turn around bill for alng train 1. cause rowley say he dont want it shut down. y it will shut down is cause it need a turn around and the shareholders dont want to put up the money to do it,, might as well moth ball it. y they dont want to turn it around is cause they dont see a reliable future for gas supply come 2021 or beyond, so it dont make sense spending 300m that u might not get the gas to make product to sell.
y that is important is; they are not confident in trinidad gas prospects. i kinda thinking their noses for gas is very good.
seems the pin is in the trinidad fossil bubble, they just a matter of time to pull out the pin and let it burst.
that coudl explain why it is they not frighten at all to pass all kinda ludicrous contracts... trying to extract as much from the cookie jar before it empty.
Just like the ill fated gas junket that resulted in downstreamers like Yara, CNC, Proman having to idle plants.Return to “Ole talk and more Ole talk”
