ExxonMobil, the US oil giant, has temporarily halted operations at a facility off the coast of Guyana following a fire on a floating vessel, according to Bloomberg News. The blaze occurred on the Liza Unity floating production, storage and offloading vessel, but was swiftly brought under control. However, this incident has led to a pause in crude offloading activities.
ExxonMobil has not yet commented on the matter outside of regular business hours. The company's standard safety protocols were initiated in response to the incident, and operations are expected to resume once all necessary checks are completed. All personnel aboard the ship were accounted for and unharmed. In May and June, the Exxon Mobil consortium's oil output in Guyana amounted to 895,000 barrels per day and 869,000 barrels per day, respectively, as per recent government statistics.
