Understanding Panama’s Mw 7.7 Earthquake: Causes and Consequences
On 9 October 2026, a Mw 7.7 earthquake struck Panama’s Azuero Peninsula, causing injuries and infrastructure damage but no confirmed deaths. This event is part of a series of significant earthquakes in the region since 2025. The report discusses geological implications and recurrence risks, emphasising that precise earthquake predictions remain elusive while urging ongoing monitoring…

This Progress Paper by GLIAG analyses ExxonMobil’s TTUD-1 exploration offshore Trinidad, evaluating its potential as a gas or oil discovery. With a US$42.5 million initial commitment, the decision for further investment depends on drilling results expected in late 2027 or early 2028. Current probabilities favour a gas-dominant outcome.
