It’s one of the most oil-rich regions in the world. Now South America is at a crossroads: Should it seek out new drilling opportunities -- or prepare for a post-carbon economy, potentially at the expense of its own prosperity?

Venezuelan here. Through all my childhood we were told that Guyana Wass ours. Our official school books had maps were Guyana was a "disputed" territory that we would take back. I and all my generation thought that Guyana was an empty territory, nobody living there. Now with the Castro Cuban puppet goverment in Venezuela sabotaging the oil production for more than 20 years big oil companies have moved next door to Guyana. And surprise surprise I find out that there his people there. A lot of descendants from India and Africa. Guyana its a really small and empoviirished country, it's obvious that there was nothing going on there still the advance of the mega world wide oil firms. Good lock guyananss on this oil boom, save as much as you can beacuse in 20 or 30 years you will be down and out as usual.
