Pipeline leak in Guayaguayare Bay Media Release No 3
We wish to advise that media reports which have suggested
residents in Guayaguayare have been adversely affected by
gas emmissions from the leak on our 24-inch pipeline are
totally inaccurate.
We inform the public that regular air quality tests carried
out in Guayaguayare have recorded zero levels of hydrocarbons
in the atmosphere. We will continue to monitor air quality in
the interest of the community. Our staff in the area are keeping
local residents informed using various means including walkabouts,
loudspeaker announcements, meetings and distribution of flyers.
We have also advised all marine craft to exercise caution and to maintain
a 500-metre distance from the area in which the repair works are being conducted.
NGC remains committed to conducting all of its operations in the safest possible
manner and with the highest regard for people and preservation of the environment.
We will continue to keep the local and national communities informed of further
developments as they come to hand.
