Venezuelan Military Intimidates US Oil Assets in Guydollar…

Georgetown, Guyana – Tensions between Guyana and Venezuela escalated yesterday as the Venezuelan military was accused of intimidating US oil assets in Guyanese waters.

According to reports, Venezuelan naval vessels and aircraft approached the Stena Carron, a drilling ship operated by ExxonMobil, which is currently conducting oil exploration activities in the Stabroek Block off the coast of Guyana.

Sources close to the situation described the Venezuelan military’s actions as “aggressive” and “intimidating”, with the vessels and aircraft reportedly coming within a few miles of the drilling ship.

The incident has sparked concerns about the safety of US oil assets in Guyana and the potential for further escalation of tensions between Guyana and Venezuela.

The US State Department has issued a statement condemning the Venezuelan military’s actions and reaffirming its support for Guyana’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

“The United States will continue to support Guyana’s right to develop its natural resources, including oil and gas, in accordance with international law,” the statement read.

The Venezuelan government has not commented on the incident, but has previously claimed that the Stabroek Block is part of its territorial waters.

Guyana has rejected this claim, pointing out that the International Court of Justice has recognized Guyana’s sovereignty over the disputed territory.

The incident has sparked widespread concern in Guyana, with many calling for increased security measures to protect the country’s oil assets.

The Guyanese government has assured citizens that it is taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of the country’s oil operations.

ExxonMobil has also issued a statement confirming that its operations in Guyana have not been disrupted by the incident and that the safety of its personnel and assets remains its top priority.

The incident is the latest in a series of tensions between Guyana and Venezuela over the disputed territory, which has significant oil reserves.

The situation remains volatile, with many fearing that further escalation could have serious consequences for regional stability and security.
