Oil and Gas Energy Chamber to boycott GIPEX 2021 – says it is an “anti-local content activity”

Kaieteur News– President of the Guyana Oil and Gas Energy Chamber (GOGEC), Mr. Manniram Prashad, is calling for industry stakeholders to boycott the upcoming Guyana International Petroleum Business Summit and Exhibition (GIPEX), which will be hosted for the third year from June 28-30. In a release to the media, Prashad said the organisation of the event leaves local companies that are asked to participate with little to no benefit; meanwhile, the lion’s share of the profits are taken overseas by Valiant Business Media (VBM). Since its inception, VBM has been the main organiser of the event.
