Oil-rich Guyana to keep agriculture, fisheries on frontline of diversification drive: OilNOW
Though Guyana’s super basin is projected to reap US$157B in oil earnings by 2040, authorities are determined to ensure a portion of these resources is used to fuel the sustainability of other traditional revenue makers such as agriculture and fisheries. According to the government, the reasoning behind this is twofold—on one hand, Guyana keeps the dreaded Dutch disease at bay while on the other, she fulfills her long-awaited destiny of being the breadbasket of the region. The vision for this effort is outlined in the government’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) 2030.

Ali Govt. allowing Exxon to pump as much as it pleases while country remains weak with old petroleum law: Kaieteur News
…two years in office
President Irfaan Ali and the PPP administration continue to allow American oil giant, ExxonMobil and its partners to produce more oil – despite the country is weakened by archaic petroleum laws. With two oil ships, namely the Liza Destiny and the Liza Unity in operation, Guyana is producing approximately 360,000 barrels a day. The oil operations in the country are currently being undertaken by EEPGL on the prolific Stabroek Block, which spans more than six million acres in the country’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). EEPGL is the operator of the country’s richest oil block, which is estimated to hold nearly 11 billion barrels of equivalent of oil (beo).
Hess vows to protect “sweet” Guyana operations from recession, inflationary pressures: Kaieteur News
Hess Corporation recently told investors that while recessionary fears are weighing on financial markets, it will be closely monitoring its budgetary spending for the remainder of 2022 into 2023 to ensure scheduled investments in Guyana remain unaffected. The company said the returns in Guyana are so sweet that it pays to keep pumping more money into the Stabroek Block given the industry leading deal (2016 Stabroek Block Production Sharing Agreement) it is tied to. Hess during its second quarter earnings call said all companies are dealing with the risk of a recession risk given that there is an economic slowdown now.
