In a Media Release on Friday, Heritage Petroleum Company Limited said its Incident Management Team continues to manage the clean-up operations at the site of the Guayaguayare oil spill that occurred on Saturday 11th February 2023.
According to Heritage, the sole source of the leak was identified in a heavily forested area, and was quickly repaired on Sunday 12th February 2023. The company notes that no further leaks were detected after the repair and examination of the line. Heritage added, “As part of our ongoing efforts to complete the clean-up exercise in a timely and efficient manner, several members of the nearby community were engaged and are working alongside the spill response contractors and Heritage Officials. On-site air quality monitoring is being conducted by HSSE Officers together with a third party contracted team. The results show no measurable levels of hydrocarbon vapours. Community members who made mention of a scent emanating from the affected area, have reported that it has been substantially reduced over the last evening.” Heritage said it continues to update the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries (MEEI) and the Environmental Management Authority (EMA). The company is also providing daily updates to members of the community through the Member of Parliament, the Honourable Rushton Paray, Local Government Councillor Wendell Perez, executive members of the Guayaguayare Village Council, and members of the Guayaguayare Ortoire Fisherfolk Association.
