Gas line connection to Exxon's FPSOs in Guyana completed, executive said
Oct 9 (Reuters) -A pipeline that will allow Guyana to bring natural gas produced by a consortium led by Exxon Mobil XOM.N to shore has been successfully connected to two of the project's floating production platforms, said on Wednesday Exxon's head for Guyana, according to local media reports.
The "Gas-to-Energy" project by Guyana's government aims to feed a 300-megawatts power plant and a natural gas liquids (NGL) facility with gas produced at two Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facilities that are part of Exxon's Stabroek block, the first development to take advantage of associated gas produced in the country.
The Exxon consortium, also integrated by China's CNOOC 0883.HK and U.S. Hess HES.N, temporarily halted crude and gas output at the platforms in the third quarter to allow the pipeline connection.
"Risers have now been successfully connected to the pipeline, and we have been conducting several tests and de-watering exercises to ensure everything is functioning correctly," said Alistar Routledge, Exxon Guyana's head, according to a report published by Newsroom Guyana.
