ExxonMobil Guyana announced the start of drone surveillance along the Gas-to-Energy (GTE) pipeline right-of-way (RoW), which runs from Nouvelle Flanders on the West Coast Demerara to Reynstein on the West Bank Demerara.

On Tuesday, the company announced on Facebook that the initiative aims to prevent unauthorized building, burning, or occupation along the pipeline route.

The surveillance is being conducted by Guydrones, a local company contracted by ExxonMobil Guyana to carry out aerial monitoring.
