ExxonMobil Liza Unity operations resume after fire

A small fire in the laundry room aboard the Liza Unity FPSO off Guyana prompted Exxon Mobil to suspend crude offloading and related operations as a precaution, with the incident quickly extinguished. ExxonMobil said all personnel on board were safe and accounted for, and heat detectors indicated the fire in the living quarters area. The company indicated that operations would resume after completing the necessary safety checks. Reports note that ExxonMobil’s Guyana output has been running at high levels, with May production around 895,000 barrels per day and June around 869,000 bpd. The suspension was described as part of the established safety response, and multiple outlets covered the incident and the company’s safety assurances. No injuries were reported, and investigations or assessments were to follow before resuming full operations.
