ExxonMobil is pressing ahead with its planned stakeholder consultations in the various administrative regions that are likely to be impacted by the Wales Gas-to-Energy project on the West Bank of Demerara, but in doing so, the oil company has no plan to meet directly with the residents of Crane and the Canal Polders – those who are likely to be most affected.
