Guayana Esequiba: Geo-economics of an Occupation

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

An air of bonanza has raised the projections of the Exxon Mobil corporation, which accumulated around 414 billion dollars in 2022, an unprecedented income in its history, which represents 44.8% more than the previous year. It is a gigantic increase if compared to its crisis in 2020, when its losses put its place in the stock market in jeopardy. Also from the research of that American corporation, it is said that Guyana could become “the country that produces the most barrels of oil per inhabitant in the world, surpassing Kuwait, in that case, when measuring the wealth per capita of its 800 thousand inhabitants, it would become a rich country, since in 2021 its GDP increased by 57.8% and in 2022 by 37.2%”.

Deep Dive into the 2020 Guyanese Election & Venezuela-Guyana Border Dispute

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Regarding the recent ICJ ruling (presided over by former State Department employee, Judge Joan Donoghue) on the Venezuela-Guyana border dispute and the 2020 Guyanese general election: I have come to the conclusion, based on my research, that the USG—along with the UK Foreign Office and Canada—interfered in the 2020 election, in order that their favored candidate (Irfaan Ali of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic) would become President, and that disputed territory, of Essequibo, rightfully belongs to Venezuela.

World Court orders Venezuela to refrain from action in border dispute with Guyana

Friday’s ruling is the latest development in the larger border dispute. The ICJ said in April it had jurisdiction over the case, but a final ruling could be years away.

Interestingly, Judge Joan Donoghue used to work for the US State Department. 🤔

Offshore discoveries turn tiny Guyana into oil hotspot

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Oct 23 (Reuters) – Chevron (CVX.N) has agreed to buy smaller rival Hess (HES.N) in a $53 billion all-stock deal that will help the oil major secure a foothold in oil-rich Guyana.

The deal makes Chevron a partner with Exxon (XOM.N) in Guyana’s booming oilfields, which are expected to generate 1.2 million barrels of oil per day by 2027.

Hess is part of a consortium, including Exxon Mobil Corp and CNOOC (0883.HK), that operates in Guyana and has made more than 30 discoveries in the country’s offshore waters since 2015. Exxon had a 45% stake in the consortium with Hess owning 30% and CNOOC having a 25% stake.
