ExxonMobil Guyana and SBM Offshore Guyana are among regional energy companies expected to participate in the Process Safety Forum 2026, scheduled for May 28 at the Cara Suites Hotel & Conference Centre in Claxton Bay, Trinidad.
The event is being hosted by the Energy Chamber of Trinidad and Tobago and will bring together industry leaders, HSE professionals, engineers and decision-makers to discuss process safety, operational risk, ESG integration and safety innovation across the energy sector.
The Chamber said in a LinkedIn post on May 23 that the forum will “discover cutting-edge insights, best practices, and innovative solutions aimed at safeguarding operations, protecting assets, and ensuring the well-being of personnel in the energy sector.”
The forum is also positioned as a platform to strengthen safety practices in oil and gas operations, with a focus on safeguarding assets and improving process safety performance across the region.
Among the featured speakers is SBM Offshore Guyana Country General Manager Martin Cheong, and ExxonMobil Guyana Senior Process Safety Advisor Russell Brandon.
Other participating organizations include bpTT, Shell, Halliburton Caribbean, Massy Wood, API, Subsea7, ContourGlobal Trinidad Power Limited and CTSL.
SBM Offshore is a Dutch offshore solutions provider that specializes in building floating production vessels, with a strong record of such deliveries in Guyana and Brazil.

Guyana has emerged as one of Exxon’s fastest-growing production centers, supported by multiple deepwater developments in the Stabroek Block and continued exploration activity offshore.
The block’s monthly output was 914,000 barrels per day (b/d) in the first quarter of 2026. When the fifth project, Uaru, comes on stream later this year, production is expected to surpass one million b/d.
In 2025, Rystad Energy said ExxonMobil’s venture into Trinidad and Tobago could generate more than US$20 billion in new investment opportunities. Exxon aims to replicate the exploration approach that led to the discovery of more than 13 billion barrels of oil equivalent (by Rystad’s estimation) in Guyana’s Stabroek Block.
