Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated lawyer and businessman Moses V. Rambarran, Esq. shares an elucidating discourse about the oil industry in Guyana - focusing on how the profits haven't translated to the improvement of the population's quality of life. Moses V. Rambarran earned a Master of Laws specializing in Oil and Gas - he's also committedly close to his family and roots in Guyana. His debut nonfiction hinges on his education and passion to make a contribution to improve the lives of people, especially in his home country Guyana by creating and documenting commentaries, insights, guidance which can fuel discussion around the corruption and examine the reasons for failure surrounding the oil industry in Guyana by providing comparisons with other oil producing countries. Despite Guyana rapidly developing as a rich-oil producing country, the citizens remain impoverished, according to Rambarran's research. Unfortunately, the standard of living of the Guyanese is not improving as expected or anticipated with the increase of oil production. Rambarran's research and experience has found that corruption is a major obstacle and the redistribution of wealth has become both unfair and unacceptable. Says Rambarran of the situation, "Change is necessary. I advocate for sensible, internationally-acceptable standards, governance methods, and a governance legislative framework to be established, enacted into law, and enforced." In Guyana's Oil Discovery - Pros & Pitfalls, Rambarran exposes the Guyanese government's weaknesses surrounding oil exploration and production, the discrimination against the poor and impoverished citizens, and the corruption that rewards family, friends, and favorites of the highest political leaders in the country. The significantly meaningful message in Guyana's Oil Discovery - Pros & Pitfalls is for all age groups. It especially will motivate and inspire political, civil society and business professionals and enthusiasts. This informative analysis of current Guyanese and Global petroleum, transparency, accountability, and corruption issues is also presented as an easily accessible source of inspiration for students and youths to read and draw their own conclusions.

This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about oil and gas dynamics in the world’s newest petro-powers-in-the-making, and the attempts to balance this against the impact of climate change. The known oil reserves in the Guyana-Suriname Basin total some 30 billion barrels equivalent, and the gas reserves exceed 30 trillion cubic feet. This massive offshore discovery amounts to 10 percent of the world’s conventional oil, but Guyana and Suriname are also in a wet neighborhood, where the impact of climate change stands to wreak havoc on the area and undermine some of the oil gains. Examining the political economy of petroleum production and some of the myriad challenges and opportunities involved, the expert contributors discuss the global and regional geopolitical and national security ramifications of the petroleum pursuits and explore global climate change dynamics and their effects on the region. This title will be of interest to students, scholars of international political economy, environmental politics, and the Caribbean. It will also be invaluable to policymakers in countries with business investments in Guyana and Suriname, especially in the energy sector, and policy and operational staffs in regional and international organizations and companies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries that are rich in petroleum have less democracy, less economic stability, and more frequent civil wars than countries without oil. What explains this oil curse? And can it be fixed? In this groundbreaking analysis, Michael L. Ross looks at how developing nations are shaped by their mineral wealth--and how they can turn oil from a curse into a blessing. Ross traces the oil curse to the upheaval of the 1970s, when oil prices soared and governments across the developing world seized control of their countries' oil industries. Before nationalization, the oil-rich countries looked much like the rest of the world; today, they are 50 percent more likely to be ruled by autocrats--and twice as likely to descend into civil war--than countries without oil. The Oil Curse shows why oil wealth typically creates less economic growth than it should; why it produces jobs for men but not women; and why it creates more problems in poor states than in rich ones. It also warns that the global thirst for petroleum is causing companies to drill in increasingly poor nations, which could further spread the oil curse. This landmark book explains why good geology often leads to bad governance, and how this can be changed.

Book excerpt: This book explores three particular strategies in the extractives sector for creating shared wealth, increased labour opportunities and positive social, environmental and economic outcomes from corporate projects, namely: state wealth funds (SWF), local content policies (LCP) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices. Collectively, the chapters explore the associated experiences and challenges in different parts of the world with the view to inform equitable and sustainable development for the communities living adjacent to extractives sites and the wider society and environment. Examples of LCPs, SWFs and CSR practices from 12 jurisdictions with diverse experiences offer usefull insights. The book illuminates challenges and opportunities for sustainable development outcomes of the extractives sector. It reflects the need to take on board the lessons of these global experiences in order to improve outcomes for poverty reduction, inequality reduction and sustainable development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Guyana is very attractive. The market is straightforward, fiscal terms are very appealing and it is a great place to explore for oil.” Ian Cloke, Executive Vice-President of New Ventures for Tullow Oil Ian Cloke’s words summarise the energy industry’s excitement for the prospects of Guyana as the country transforms thanks to huge offshore discoveries of oil. The Oil & Gas Year Guyana 2020 highlights these discoveries and Guyana’s ambitious aims to ramp up production in such a way as to avoid becoming a “resource curse” country. TOGY’s second publication on Guyana’s energy industry includes unparalleled analysis of ExxonMobil’s discoveries and production, as well as comments from Guyanese companies and institutions such as Guyana Shore Base and GO-Invest and international names including EY and Century Tamara Energy Services. In the coming years, regardless of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, Guyana will be unrecognisable from the country it was just recently. Interviewing actors across the value chain such as Tullow Oil, Guyana Logistics & Support Services, MatPal Marine Institute and many others, TOGY covers these changes and provides many more resources for the numerous investors who are looking at this small corner of South America set for wholesale advancement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expiration in 1982 of the Protocol of Port-of-Spain reheated a border dispute between Venezuela and Guyana that had been frozen since 1970, Almost at once, Venezuelan ultranationalists asserted the need to recover by force the Essequibo region of Guyana--two-thirds of that country--which Venezuela had long claimed. While rejecting force as a solution, the Venezuelan government has indicated that the Protocol will not be renewed, thus pushing the economically and politically vulnerable Guyana toward new and uncertain negotiations. This book describes the actors and their stake in the conflict, the capacity of each to develop the disputed region, and the implications of the Venezuelan claim for both sides. Incorporating a critical examination of the conflict's historical-legal background, Dr. Braveboy-Wagner chronicles the progress of the dispute through its various stages and describes the attempts of both sides to elicit outside support, especially from other Third World nations. Finally, she assesses the possibilities for a solution by force and by compromise and considers the potential for U.S. involvement.

It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.

Book excerpt: Oil to Cash explores one option to help countries with new oil revenue avoid the so-called resource curse: just give the money directly to citizens. A universal, transparent, and regular cash transfer would not only provide a concrete benefit to regular people, but would also create powerful incentives for citizens to hold their government accountable. Oil to Cash details how and where this idea could work and how policymakers can learn from the experiences with cash transfers in places like Mexico, Mongolia, and Alaska.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TOGY is pleased to present The Oil & Gas Year Guyana 2019, our first edition on the country. This booklet covers Guyana’s fast-moving developments, including recent hydrocarbons discoveries, increasing interest from international investors and preparations the government is making to ensure proper oversight and sustainable development of the local oil and gas industry, as well as opportunities for local and regional businesses. With 10 oil and gas discoveries in the Stabroek block and new exploration and development plans being set by a number of players, Guyana is a rising star in the global oil and gas arena. As of December 2018, 5 billion boe of recoverable resources have already been identified and there is excitement about the country’s further hydrocarbons potential. Government institutions and local companies have much work to do before first production is reached in 2020 and Guyana’s economy is forever transformed. So far, several significant milestones have been achieved, including the establishment of the Department of Energy in August 2018 to oversee and facilitate the industry’s development. Additionally, the World Bank and IMF have both contributed to the review and drafting of key oil and gas legislation. In-depth analysis is supported by comprehensive maps, illustrations and graphs to create a market guide essential for players seeking to enter the Guyanese market.

Book excerpt: This Selected Issues paper examines the monetary policy framework in Sudan, and assesses the effectiveness of monetary transmission mechanism since the secession of South Sudan. The econometric analysis concludes that reserve money, the exchange rate, and private sector credit are the main determinants of inflation after the secession of South Sudan and that the transmission lags have been shortened significantly compared with previous studies. These findings reinforce the need for a comprehensive package of fiscal and monetary measures that strengthens the monetary policy framework and improves its effectiveness.

This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the response of consumer price inflation to changes in domestic fuel prices, looking at the different categories of the overall consumer price index (CPI). We then combine household survey data with the CPI components to construct a CPI index for the poorest and richest income quintiles with the view to assess the distributional impact of the pass-through. To undertake this analysis, the paper provides an update to the Global Monthly Retail Fuel Price Database, expanding the product coverage to premium and regular fuels, the time dimension to December 2020, and the sample to 190 countries. Three key findings stand out. First, the response of inflation to gasoline price shocks is smaller, but more persistent and broad-based in developing economies than in advanced economies. Second, we show that past studies using crude oil prices instead of retail fuel prices to estimate the pass-through to inflation significantly underestimate it. Third, while the purchasing power of all households declines as fuel prices increase, the distributional impact is progressive. But the progressivity phases out within 6 months after the shock in advanced economies, whereas it persists beyond a year in developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Energy Resources is an explanatory energy survey of the countries and major regions of the world, their geographic and economic settings, and signif icant inter-relationships. This book attempts to combine several interacting energy themes that encompass a historical development, energy issues and forecasts, economic geography, environmental programs, and world energy use. The main thrust of this book -World Energy Resources - is based on princi ples of energy science, applied geology, geophysics, and other environmental sciences as they relate to the exploration, exploitation, and production of resources in this country and throughout the world. This work is an analysis of the United States (USA) and world oil, gas, coal, and alternative energy resources and their associated issues, forecasts, and related policy. This book could not have been attempted without a broad geological exposure and international ge ographic awareness. Much information is scattered among federal and state agencies, schools, and other institutions, and this book has attempted to com bine some of the vast information base. This attempt can only skim the infor mation surface at best, but its regional and topical coverage is broad in scope. Part I introduces conventional energy resources and their historical develop ments, and includes chapters 1 to 7. The basic concepts and supporting facts on energy sources are presented here for the general education of energy analysts, policy makers, and scientists that desire a brief review of advanced technologies and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paradise may have been found in the Western Amazon, but it is on the brink of destruction. Oil in the Soil analyzes the campaign to save the Ishpingo-Tambococha-Tiputini (ITT) block of Yasuní National Park in Ecuador's Amazon and the global networks that have resulted in one of the world's most innovative plans to save the Amazon and other biodiverse places on our planet. Pamela L. Martin examines the path-breaking global environmental governance mechanisms that have resulted from the transnational networks of the Yasuní-ITT campaign and their implications for replication around the world. The analysis of these networks reveals new dynamics of mobilization from the South, which may impact the future of global environmental negotiations. Martin also examines the alternative norms behind the initiative in the words of governmental and non-governmental actors. Such normative changes demonstrate the global struggles of the resource-dependent poor and provide insights toward new pathways of sustainable development for the planet.
