Former Congressman Mark Green Sued Over Guyana Fuel Deal

The lawsuit alleges that Marc C. Hebert, while representing Playera, extracted confidential information that was then used to form Prosimos with Mark Green. This new entity allegedly competed for a similar fuel contract in Guyana. The plaintiffs claim that Green and Hebert threatened to use their connections to obstruct Curlew's pending fuel agreement. The Guyanese government sent a signable agreement to Curlew with 'last-minute' changes, including a relationship with an unnamed consultant, changes the lawsuit claims the government didn't initiate. Curlew Midstream had sealed a refined fuels venture in Guyana aimed at strengthening energy security and affordability. The project involves constructing a fuel storage facility capable of holding approximately 750,000 barrels of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heavy fuel oil, requiring an initial investment of around US$300 million.
