About BNE
However, BNE, the major energy company in Belize was “founded on the vision that oil and gas would positively transform Belize. Since the first commercial oil discovery, BNE has established itself as a Belizean company with world-class standards.”
Information obtained from its website has it that, “In 2003, BNE signed a production sharing agreement with the Government of Belize and in 2005 oil was discovered at Mike Usher No.1 well in the Mennonite agricultural community of Spanish Lookout in Western Belize. Since the 1950s, several major oil companies had unsuccessfully explored commercial oil and gas in Belize, thus at the time of discovery, there was no existing oil industry infrastructure in the country. BNE took to the task of developing all requisite infrastructure to produce and market Belize Light Crude.
“In 2009, BNE discovered the Never Delay Field (ND), in an area known as Never Delay to the Northeast of Belmopan. Work to optimize the production from ND continues. Currently, BNE produces approximately 2,000 barrels of crude oil per day, 1,800 gallons of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), and 160 thousand cubic feet per day (MCF/D) of fuel gas for electricity generation (internal use).”

Similarly, another piece of information obtained from its website, the Women in Energy Oil and Gas, stated that “Women in Energy Oil and Gas is a forum created to promote gender diversity and inclusion in the male-dominated energy, oil and gas industry thereby creating opportunities for women. We promote women inclusion in energy, oil and gas sector, business collaborations and opportunities, capacity building, education, training and developments, advocacy and provide formal mentorship and role model structure.”
