Bolivia Announces Biggest Natural Gas Discovery Since 2005

Bolivia has discovered its largest natural gas field in nearly two decades at Mayaya Centro X1, estimated to hold 1.7 trillion cubic feet of gas.
The discovery brings hope for Bolivia to resolve its fuel shortage crisis and foreign currency crunch, as well as regain its position as a major natural gas exporter.
The $50 million investment in the drilling project is seen as a significant step towards economic recovery and a new era of oil and gas production in Bolivia.

Guyana bleeds as this government vacillates on renegotiating the oil contract

Indented in the Guyana’s 2016 Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) with Exxon, is a clear and unequivocal statement (I will break it down in layman language) – renegotiation of the Oil Contract is quite possible as long as there is mutual agreement (Exxon & the Guyana Government) on both sides. It did not specify any limitations to renegotiation because unanticipated fluctuations/market conditions can cut both ways. For simplicity sake, I offer this as an example.
