GEORGETOWN, Guyana, May 3, CMC – The Guyana government says it will conduct later this month a high-level economic feasibility study of investing in an oil refinery locally.
Natural Resources Minister Raphael Trotman said a foreign consultant will be present for the workshop.
“He’ll make a presentation and you’ll get a chance to question him,” Trotman told the business community.
