Energy firm aids PNG community
Energy firm looks to aid impoverished, but resource-rich Papua New Guinea.
Published On 15 Feb 2010
Papua New Guinea is an impoverished country rich in natural resources.
Last year, it signed a deal with Exxon Mobil for a $15bn liquefied natural gas project.
Other resources projects in PNG have been criticised for not helping local communities.
But Exxon’s local partner, Oil Search, says it is striking a balance – even providing services to the local community that the national government has failed to deliver.
