Marcel Chin-A-Lien’s analysis evaluates Guyana’s Gas-to-Shore (GtS) model as a means to prioritise domestic gas consumption in an oil-rich context. It examines two scenarios: Wales, targeting power generation, and Berbice, focusing on industrial demand, while highlighting production constraints and the need for transparent audits from public sources.
