Good Sunday morning, Guyana. The papers this weekend read like a collective exhale, and not the good kind.

Kaieteur ran the numbers again and they still do not add up in our favour. Between 2020 and 2024, ExxonMobil, Hess, and CNOOC — the Stabroek Block partners — pulled in US$29 billion in profits. Guyana, the sovereign nation on whose seabed this oil is sitting, received US$5.4 billion in the same period. This is our “50/50 partnership.” The math is, as dem boys would say, mathing in a particular direction.
