Background
With the emerging oil and gas industry in the Guyana Basin expanding at an energetic pace this consortium was formed to facilitate the implementation of an adoption strategy in this region. Infused with the necessary talents, mastery and capital needed for this task the 818 Energy Group is unique in leveraging its leadership and relationships to position itself for success. In particular, the Gas to Energy project was approved by the Guyana government and is now underway. This has created an intentional regulatory impetus for domestic registered contractors such as the 818 Energy Group to embrace this challenge and undertake the buildout of a downstream infrastructure. Arising out of this is an opportunity to support the delivery of affordable energy into the homes and businesses of every Guyanese.
