This morning's ceremony was hosted by ExxonMobil Guyana as part of the Brownfield Projects initiative and is a significant achievement under the Water Injection Riser Depressurization (WIRD) Project. WIRD entails the fabrication of pipe sections for the water injection systems utilized on SBM Offshore Guyana’s FPSOs and is being executed locally by Guyanese companies, hence, representing a significant advancement in local content development.

Local content has had a tremendous positive impact on the development of Guyana which has benefitted not only the oil and gas sector but all sectors across our country.

Earlier today, I met with the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) Validation Team. The team will be conducting the 2nd validation of Guyana following the Government of Guyana's submission of the 7th annual EITI report.

Consistent meetings with the management team of the natural resources sector remains priority under my leadership. These meetings facilitate weekly update reports and allow timely decision making to ensure the sector is managed effectively and efficiently.

Today, as we celebrate World Environment Day 2026, we must honour our abundant forests, rivers and biodiversity by building a greener, more resilient future for generations to come. We aspire to create a life “Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For our Future”.

As Guyana celebrates 60 years of Independence, the Ministry of Natural Resources reaffirms its commitment to protecting the natural environment that surrounds, sustains and defines us. We all play a critical role in ensuring our forests are preserved as we continue to explore, develop and sustain and make our contribution to environmental conservation.
