News Americas, GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Weds. Nov. 15, 2023: ExxonMobil has initiated production at the Payara project, Guyana’s third offshore oil development located on the Stabroek Block. This significant milestone elevates Guyana’s total production capacity to an estimated 620,000 barrels per day.

The Prosperity Floating, Production, Storage, and Offloading, (FPSO), vessel is projected to achieve an initial production rate of around 220,000 barrels per day by the first half of the next year, marking the third critical step towards reaching a combined production capacity exceeding 1.2 million barrels per day on the Stabroek Block by the close of 2027.

Liam Mallon, President of ExxonMobil Upstream Company, highlighted the positive impact of each new project on economic development and resource accessibility for Guyanese communities. The company envisions operating six FPSOs on the Stabroek Block by the end of 2027, with Yellowtail and Uaru as the ongoing fourth and fifth projects, each anticipated to produce approximately 250,000 barrels of oil per day. ExxonMobil is actively collaborating with the Guyanese government to secure regulatory approvals for a sixth project at Whiptail.

Prosperity, like the Liza Unity, has been recognized with the SUSTAIN-1 notation by the American Bureau of Shipping, emphasizing the sustainability of its design, documentation, and operational procedures. ExxonMobil’s Guyana developments showcase a remarkable 30% reduction in greenhouse gas intensity compared to the average of its upstream portfolio. According to Rystad Energy, an independent research firm, these developments are among the world’s best performers in terms of emissions intensity, surpassing 75% of global oil and gas producing assets.

With over 6,000 Guyanese supporting ExxonMobil’s operations, the company has made substantial economic contributions, with more than $1.2 billion spent with over 1,500 local suppliers since the commencement of operations in 2015. The production at Payara marks a continued commitment to reliable and sustainable energy for Guyana.

Grammy-Nominated Reggae Star Protoje Ventures Into Children’s Literature With Debut Book

/0 Comments/in /by

News Americas, KINGSTON, Jamaica, Weds. Nov. 15, 2023: In a surprising move, Grammy-nominated reggae artist Protoje is expanding his creative horizons with the release of his first children’s book, “Here Comes The Morning,” inspired by his little daughter. Co-authored with The Bookboys, 12-year-old Azibo and 9-year-old Gyasi Bookman, the book is set to hit shelves on Saturday, November 18, 2023.

To celebrate the launch, Protoje and The Bookboys will host a book signing event at Busboy and Poets – Anacostia (2004 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE) in Washington D.C. The special collector’s edition will be unveiled during the event, which is scheduled from 4-6 pm ET and is open to all ages.

“Here Comes The Morning” aims to captivate young minds, answering the intriguing question inspired by Protoje’s daughter, Yara: Where does the sun go after dark? Instead of merely answering, Protoje takes readers on a journey to the easternmost point of their Caribbean island to visit a lighthouse. The story, designed for 3 to 7-year-olds, encourages curiosity, exploration, and the importance of loving parental guidance.

The book is an extension of Protoje’s 2022 Grammy-nominated album, “Third Time’s The Charm,” featuring the track “Here Comes The Morning.” Illustrated by Jonathan Nelson, the book is available for purchase on PROTOJE.COM and BOOKMANEXPRESS.PUB, published by Sapling Books.

In addition to his literary venture, Protoje dropped a remix album titled “In Search Of Zion” on November 10. The album, produced by Zion I Kings, offers a fresh take on his 2020 critically acclaimed album, “In Search of Lost Time,” with accompanying dub versions of each track.

Protoje’s foray into children’s literature marks a new chapter in his artistic journey, expanding his influence from the music world to captivate the hearts and minds of young readers.
