Guyana: By 2026: 4 FPSOs will deliver 50 million barrels of oil; US$4 billion annually to Guyana – Bharrat

10/24/2021 – 8:27 pm

OILNOW – October 23, 2021

Guyana’s Natural Resources Minister, Vickram Bharrat, says in the next four to five years Guyana would be well on its way to becoming the “mini-Dubai” of the Caribbean as it will have four oil ships providing considerable production volumes and revenue take.

During an exclusive interview with OilNOW, Mr. Bharrat recalled that currently, Guyana has US$436M in its Natural Resource Fund.  In the coming weeks, he posited that the country will receive payment for the most recent lift of one million barrels of Liza crude to Aramco Trading Limited. With another lift due next month, he predicts Guyana can get US$150M between the two if oil prices remain around US$85 per barrel. With this in mind, he said Guyana could comfortably close the year with close to US$600M in the Natural Resource Fund.

USA: Police ‘reform’ was always doomed to failure in a system built on racism – By Mohamed Hamaludin

10/22/2021 – 12:03 am

By Mohamed Hamaludin

George Floyd’s May 25, 2020, killing provoked outrage, with massive crowds demonstrating here and abroad, demanding justice for Floyd and police reform. Justice came when his killer, Derek Chauvin, was tried and sentenced to 22 years and six months in prison, with three other officers facing lesser charges. But, on police reform, a Congressional effort to enact the necessary legislation has stalled in the Senate.

The George Floyd Justice in Policing bill, which the Democratic-led House passed since March, would ban tactics such as choke and carotid holds and no-knock warrants; improve police training; and fund community policing programs. The bill would also end “qualified immunity” which shields officers from most civil lawsuits; make it easier to prosecute officers accused of misconduct; ban racial, religious and discriminatory profiling and mandate training on such profiling.          Continue reading →

TRAVEL: Why The American Car Fleet Is Getting So Old – Video

CNBC – 26 September 2021

In 2021, the average age of vehicles on the road reached a record 12.1 years. Every driver that chooses to hold on to a car for another year is postponing a trip to the dealership, and some industry analysts wonder if rising vehicle ages and prices indicate trouble for new car sales in the future. Automakers are stuffing cars with new technology and improvements but will that be enough to keep buyers wanting the latest and greatest?

By OilNOW- September 26, 2021

Roger Kranenburg

The gas-to-energy project proposed by the Government of Guyana has the potential to not only create new industries and transform the economy but also represents the most environmentally sustainable option currently available to the country.  This is according to Roger Kranenburg, an international executive who specialises in the energy, electric utility, and telecommunications industries. Kranenburg declared that the pros of the project far outweigh the cons.

The gas-to-energy project will utilise associated natural gas from ExxonMobil’s Liza field with the pipeline passing through Crane and other communities before being landed at Wales on the West Bank of Demerara where the power generation facility will be constructed.      Continue reading →

AMERICA HAS A DEATH PROBLEM. 

NO, I’m not just talking about the past year and a half, during which COVID-19 deaths per capita in the United States outpaced those in similarly rich countries, such as Canada, Japan, and France.

I’m NOT just talking about the past decade, during which drug overdoses skyrocketed in the U.S., creating a social epidemic of what are often called “deaths of despair”.      Continue reading →
