The oil in Guyanese waters is not pumped from platforms. The oil is pumped into holding tanks on ships then re-pumped into tankers for shipment. All Venezuela could do, is to prevent the operations, they cannot get the oil. Even Guyana cannot get to the oi or muchless monitor how much the wells produces.   

There will always be a platform. Indeed host countries never see the oil and volumes are determined by the ones pumping

I had a conversation with the Country Manager. There will never be platforms. The oil is retrieved horizontally with seabed pumps on umbelicals.

a platform is there to secure the well head.
