“After all the headaches, one well was drilled; there were results that we wanted to confirm before we make a noise. The report said that we have found significant gas and oil in the waters of Grenada in one well so far,” he told the media.
“We have several more wells which are even more exciting than the one they just found. In other words, Grenada can be a massive supplier of oil and gas … it means a lot for the future of this country,” Mitchell added.
The discovery was made by Russian outfit Global Petroleum Group (GPG) who undertook the survey with SeaBird Exploration following an earlier survey that indicated that there were likely to be hydrocarbon deposits.
Last month, the island of Guyana announced its seventh oil find which was discovered by oil giant ExxonMobil. It makes them the biggest oil producer in the Western Hemisphere.
