Executives put a lot of effort into crushing all enthusiasm for Guyana when that first well was planned and drilled.
The stated Senior Management objective to the team was “Drill the cheapest dry hole possible”.
The Executive that had gone to Dallas and requested EM sell all of Guyana leases was pushing all plans for Guyana to drill a dry hole and forbid any planning around testing that exploration well or designing the well to be a producer.
It was laughable when EM Executives started taking credit for the huge discovery and made statements about how their expertise had led to success.
