Offshore staff
BOSTON, Massachusetts — Acorn International will perform an environmental impact assessment (EIA) and lead the public consultation program for the Uaru project in the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana.
This is the fifth offshore development project in the block, operated by Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Ltd., an affiliate of Exxon Mobil.
The proposed development is in the eastern part of the block, 200 km (125 mi) from Georgetown. Production is due to start around the end of 2026 or early 2027.
Acorn president Dean Slocum said, “We look forward to bringing our team’s deep experience in initiating a robust public consultation program to build awareness of this important project and actively engage all parties who may be affected.”
The company has conducted EIAs and facilitated public consultation programs for numerous large energy-related projects.
It has experience of working in partnership with host-country teams and claims to provide structured tools and coordination to swiftly build capacity on site.
The Uaru discovery was announced in January 2020, and the Uaru- 2 discovery was announced in April 2021.
