News Room: Guyana started producing oil in its prolific Stabroek Block offshore in 2019 and has already earned nearly US $1 billion from its oil sector thus far. By 2030, however, energy researchers believe that the country could be earning significantly more- with oil from the Stabroek Block raking in about US $7.5 billion annually.
