ExxonMobil in 15th oil find offshore Guyana

December 23, 2019

This story is developing and will be updated.

ExxonMobil today said it had made an oil discovery offshore Guyana at the Mako-1 well southeast of the Liza field, marking the 15th discovery on the Stabroek Block.

In a release, the company said that the discovery adds to the previously announced estimated recoverable resource of more than 6 billion oil-equivalent barrels on the Stabroek Block.

Mako-1 found approximately 164 feet (50 meters) of a high-quality oil bearing sandstone reservoir. Mako-1, drilled in 5,315 feet (1,620 meters) of water, is sited approximately six miles (10 kilometers) southeast of the Liza field, which began producing oil in December 2019.

“New discoveries in this world-class basin have the potential to support additional developments,” said Mike Cousins, senior vice president of exploration and new ventures at ExxonMobil. “Our proprietary full-wave seismic inversion technology continues to help us better define our discovered resource and move rapidly to the development phase.”

The Liza Phase 1 project achieved first oil on Dec. 20, 2019 and will produce up to 120,000 barrels of oil per day utilizing the Liza Destiny floating production storage and offloading vessel (FPSO).

The Liza Unity FPSO, which will be utilised for the second phase of Liza development and will have a production capacity of 220,000 barrels of oil per day, is under construction and expected to start production by mid-2022.

Pending government approvals and project clearance of a third development, production from the Payara field north of the Liza discoveries could start as early as 2023, reaching an estimated 220,000 barrels of oil per day.

Drilling activities in Guyana continue with four drillships to further explore and evaluate new resources as well as develop the resources within approved projects.

The Stabroek Block is 6.6 million acres (26,800 square kilometers). ExxonMobil affiliate Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited is operator and holds 45 percent interest in the Stabroek Block. Hess Guyana Exploration Ltd. holds 30 percent interest and CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CNOOC Limited, holds 25 percent interest.

Guyana did not prepare well for first oil – TIGI Head

December 23, 2019

… says many issues still need to be addressed

First oil is here, but what’s next? According to the Head of Transparency Institute of Guyana Incorporated (TIGI), Dr Troy Thomas, the country, in many ways, was unable to prepare well for this critical sector.

In an interview with Guyana Times, Dr Thomas noted the importance of Guyana putting in place important checks and balances to ensure the country benefits as much as it should from the sector.
But he is of the view that with the rush to production, a lot of important systems were not put in place to protect Guyana’s interests. One of the most important, Dr Thomas noted, was a robust local content policy.
“The move from finding oil to production, the timeframe is short. And I think it did not allow us to prepare very well for many things. By and large, our feeling is that things feel rushed and that’s something we have to be careful of, because of the importance of the sector going forward.
“I want to be optimistic, because of its importance to Guyana, but there are many things that need to be addressed. So, while I want things to work out well for all of us, I feel sometimes like we are rushing into things and not making sure all systems are in place,” he said.

Dr Thomas also recalled that there were many unanswered questions regarding Guyana’s oil deals with some companies. He noted that some of the deals Guyana signed had clauses that were not in the country’s favour.
“There are many questions, unanswered questions. So that’s the thing that worries me. In general, I know we want to get oil and start benefiting from the revenue, but at the same time there are all those checks and balances we cannot lose sight of.
“The issue is, there is still a lot could have been sorted out or don’t seem to be in Guyana’s favour. And because they signed these things without people knowing, there wasn’t an opportunity to scrutinise it in general.”

The oil sectors
Earlier this year, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), having concluded its Article IV consultations in Guyana, had forecast that come 2024 oil would dominate Guyana’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by as much as 40 per cent.
Underscoring the importance of this sector is the fact that no single sector had more than a 15 per cent share of the GDP as of the middle of this year. According to the Finance Ministry’s 2019 mid-year report, the highest individual segment of the GDP was the wholesale and retail trade, which had a 13.4 per cent share.
Combined, agriculture, fishing, and forestry had just a 15.6 per cent share of the GDP, with major sectors like sugar, rice and forestry having just 0.9 per cent, 3.5 per cent and 1.7 per cent respectively.
First oil was announced on Friday, yet there is no local content policy or Petroleum Commission. In the case of the former, the Department of Energy, which has been entrusted with such, had previously announced the policy would be ready for first oil.
In the case of the latter, a Petroleum Commission Bill was previously on the parliamentary order paper, but did not get very far. It was subjected to several revisions, with reports emerging last year that the World Bank would redraft the bill.
In the absence of a Petroleum Commission, the Department of Energy has been carrying out much of the functions that would be expected of such a commission. The difference, however, is that the Department reports directly to the President.
There is also no national oil company, no depletion policy and no oil spill contingency plan. While Government has been almost mum on the first two, it is understood that the contingency plan is a work in progress that is long overdue.
There has also been no completed audit of the billions of US dollars that has been claimed by oil operators in cost oil, although one has recently started. And by Department of Energy Director, Dr Mark Bynoe’s own admission, there is no penalty for companies who mislead authorities about cost oil claims.
There is also no ring-fencing provision to protect Guyana from costs being transferred from one well to another. There is, in fact, not a single oil-related bill that has been tabled by the Government and made into law, with the exception of the National Resource Fund Act.

‘First Oil’ brings new hope to Guyana

By Lisa Hamilton -

December 23, 2019

580

MINISTER-4 — Legal Affairs Minister and Attorney General Basil Williams

– Gov’t ministers predict all-round development

GUYANESE can expect development in areas across the board with the beginning of oil production, and can rest assured that the government will continue to do all in its power to manage the coming resources prudently so that all will benefit equally.

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle on Sunday, Vice-President and Minister of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs, Sydney Allicock, said that although it was always more than a hunch that Guyana had oil, finally becoming a petroleum producer is “a dream come true.”

On Friday evening, President David Granger announced ‘first’ oil, simultaneously declaring December 20 as ‘National Petroleum Day’ in a televised national address.

“It was always there, but now that it is here I think it will be a blessing for us all here in Guyana, as long as we manage it properly,” Minister Allicock said.

While some are preoccupied with the fact that Guyana is new to oil production and does not have the best history of proper resource management, Allicock said that the country has been presented with enough examples to get it right.

“There is no excuse for us to not manage it properly because there are small countries and large countries that have had the experience of oil and we should learn from those experiences…Guyana was able to capitalise on the history of those other oil countries and we have been able to put [our Sovereign Wealth Fund] in place even before ‘first oil.’ I think we’re in a good position to put systems in place for better management,” he told Guyana Chronicle.

When it comes to his ministry, Allicock said that he looks forward to seeing the gap between the coast and the hinterland being bridged once and for all, thereby brining prosperity to all Guyanese.

He wants to see the revenues used to develop better infrastructure, improve education and health services, boost tourism and agriculture and protect the natural environment.

On that note, he reminded that in the beginning of 2020 the government will be commissioning the Green Institute, a place for young Guyanese to receive skills training to become part of the workforce needed to push the country forward.

“We have a growing population of young people, but they need not to only get the degrees but to also have the experience. This oil revenue should be spent strategically in arming and rounding these young people, giving them the skill needed. Theory and practice must go together, so that we can be able to have a workforce that would be ready here in Guyana for any companies coming in,” he said.

Meanwhile, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr Karen Cummings said that Guyanese have much to be excited about as becoming an oil-producing nation means that all Guyanese, especially the common man, will begin to benefit in more ways than before.

She stated that although she speaks about excitement, all must be assured that the government has not lost sight of the need to manage the country’s resources to avoid the mistakes of other oil-producing countries in the world.

“We still have to remember that agriculture is a part of our economy and we don’t want to be caught up with the ‘Dutch disease’,” Dr Cummings said.

“We have set up the Sovereign Wealth Fund and so we’re going to be spending our money frugally. Words are inadequate for me to express the joy that I have for Guyana moving from low income to upper middle income and being a rich country with prudent spending,” she further added.

Some of the areas she pinpointed for greater transformation were education, infrastructure and youth development.

Minister of Finance Winston Jordan also told this newspaper that ‘first oil’ for Guyanese means “poverty to prosperity and signals transformation from a low wage, mono product, dependent economy to an upper middle income in the coming years.”

“We at the Ministry of Finance are particularly pleased at our accomplishments in making Guyana as ready as it can be. From overseeing the operationalisation of a robust Natural Resource Fund to actively participating in interagency committee on oil and gas, our staff has worked tirelessly and unceasingly to position our country to take advantage of this bounty,” the minister told this newspaper.

“We look forward to playing our critical role in managing these resources in a transparent, accountable and sustainable manner for the benefit of all Guyanese,” he added.

Vice-President and Minister of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Sydney Allicock

Also speaking with the newspaper, Legal Affairs Minister and Attorney General Basil Williams said: “It will take us a far way in solving a lot of our economic problems and our social problems and, we hope, our political problems. It is good to have revenue and we already have a sound social infrastructure, so that the benefits could be channelled almost immediately through these avenues,” Legal Affairs Minister and Attorney General Basil Williams told this newspaper.”

He stated that he looked forward to seeing persons such as senior citizens benefitting even more than they have begun to benefit under the current administration.

In the 2011 budget, former Minister of Finance Dr Ashni Singh had announced that senior citizens could expect to get $7,500 a month as of February 1, 2011. In 2012 the administration announced a $600 increase and later changed this to a $2,500 following a meeting between then President Donald Ramotar and then Leader of the Opposition, David Granger.

Today, old age pension stands at $20,500 under the current David Granger administration. The attorney general said that while Guyana’s wealth is welcomed, the government is cognisant of its responsibility to manage the new resource in the best ways possible.

“Nothing could be wrong with wealth, but obviously we have to protect it and ensure that it’s not squandered and that it’s meaningfully spent and that it is spent on each and every Guyanese,” he said.

While the opposition, since the announcement of ‘first oil’, has taken on a negative future outlook, Williams said that one can expect nothing better from a group which believes that its sole job is to oppose.

“The opposition has never been constructive, so they’re just being what they are: the opposition. They believe they exist to oppose but I’m sure that they recognise that it’s a different time now and they need to work together with the government and all parties concerned, so that everything can work out for the benefit of the people,” he said.

Moving forward, Guyana will sell its first three cargoes of crude through direct sale and prior to the sale of its own crude on the market to prevent downward pricing due to the initial uncertainty of its quality.

The political parties need to see the big picture, maybe some form of shared governance in this potentially huge windfall. They cannot keep going like this where they at each other throats everytime there is an election.

Trusting oil companies and keeping citizens in dark cost Trinidad US$17 Billion in six years

Dec 22, 2019 News 0 Comments

By Kiana Wilburg

Now that first oil is here, Guyana is moving forward with preparations for the sale of the first three cargoes of oil it will collect as early as February 2020. But the world of oil trading is known to be a murky business, says Energy Advisor, Dr. Anthony Paul.

TT Local Content Expert, Anthony Dr. Paul

Dr. Paul made these and other statements during a recent appearance on Kaieteur Radio Programme, Guyana’s Oil and You.
There, he highlighted the costly mistakes his home country, Trinidad and Tobago, made in the oil trading business.
According to Dr. Paul, the failure of politicians to inform the citizenry about the decisions taken on the sale of Trinidad’s gas as well as trust in companies to sell the resource on the nation’s behalf, resulted in Trinidad losing billions of dollars in revenue.
To be specific, Dr. Paul said that such a concoction of gullibility and opaqueness resulted in US$17B in taxes being lost.
Guyana’s budget for 2019 is approximately US$1.5B. It therefore means that the money Trinidad lost could have funded Guyana’s economy for more than a decade.
The Trinidadian said, “The mistake we made is that we had this capability (of being able to understand the market and selling oil on our own) but we did not have it for natural gas. Instead of building it for gas, we asked the company to market the gas on our behalf and that is where they took us to the cleaners. We were taken to the cleaners because we trusted them with what we have.”
The Energy Advisor added, “Here is how we got taken to the cleaners. The sellers of our gas were selling to marketing companies who are marketing arms of their parent company. In other words, they were selling to affiliated companies and they were reporting prices that were below market prices or even below the prescribed price in the law.”
When the government finally did an independent audit, Dr. Paul said that the consultants found that the value reported by the companies for the gas from 2010 to 2016 was US$30B less than the actual value.
“…And with our tax regime, this meant the government would have been able to get, had they done due diligence, at least US$17B in taxes,” the Trinidadian shared.
When this was made known to the citizenry, Dr. Paul noted that there was obvious opposition. But only a change of government was able to put an end to the abuse and advantage that the CARICOM founding member suffered.
Considering Trinidad’s experience, Dr. Paul said it is critical that Guyanese know everything that is going on, that the policy leaders understand the market and nothing is left to chance.
He said that the message for Guyana is that without its citizens being informed, public servants and politicians may not be performing their roles adequately and the country can suffer significant harm.
Dr. Paul added, “While, we want to trust our public officials, who are being paid and have sworn to an oath to uphold the laws and protect our interests, we must have a way to hold them accountable. That is only by transparency and access to information that allows citizens to validate what they are being told…”

You expect that from any of them? Banna wake up! PNC cuss Janet for giving Exxon a big allotment! Now they claiming god’s ordained victory while PPP cussing PNC for making a bad deal!

Meanwhile, what did Guyana ever risk to get the oil flowing, absolutely nothing! All Guyanese did was scratch their balls and hope Exxon or Tullow deliver! I had an exchange with a PPP minister on this! He ranting how much money Exxon and their shareholders will make! I asked him what about Tullow’s shareholders! He never responded!

Just look, they never took one day out to celebrate this major milestone in Guyana’s history! Why could they not take one day to knock glass and agree that both parties played a role in this success!

Sometimes I wonder where these peoples heads are??

Banna, why ayuh always looking for the worse case examples. The history and details here are very different! Oil and Western interest fueled the breakaway of the South from the Arab North in the first place! But within the South, there were deep seated tribal rivalries covered over by the fight with the Arab North! Now the internal rivalries are at the surface!

Guyana’s rivalry is a known quantity throughout history. They will keep on checkmating each other!

Exxon is kingmaker, or Rex is Kingmaker.

Rex is a Dog name in Guyana.

Rexy is even more a Dog name.

Let's hope Rexy do something great for Guyana.

Soon soon in the works . But man no family member wanna return.

Don’t know what it will take to change this place in Guyana , but it’s getting worst every year.

-Corruption and lawlessness everywhere.

- You have to bribe to get things done, and them government workers smart rass .. the bribery has to go down the chain.

- Garbage piling up all over.

- as for drivers ... ayo think about Indian, how them driving.
- them traffic lights don’t work, them thieving out the solar battery.

as for them mini bus, they unda taking and over taking, stopping in the middle of the road for passengers. Total madness rass .

in the day, your life at risk by the lawlessness on the road including bikers with guns.

When I step out for business, I am armed plus a driver and a armed guard. think about the stress.

You only stop at certain place for a beer, cause you call ahead to your friend who owns the bar, so he put things in place ( security and them things )

Just think about armed guard with AK47 guarding them night spots and business entrance.

in the night , your life at risk from the bandit. ( so with all of this, the family don’t even wanna come for vacation)

So to avoid the madness on the rd is flying to Barbados, then to Ogle, do your business and out in a day or two.

So now me a hope to win the LOTTO and buy wan private plane ✈️ .. and build wan helipad on the mansion 😊

Dave,

I heard from a credible individual that when GEC tries to disconnect the power supply to a non-paying customer in Buxton their effort is thwarted in a couple of ways. One, the GEC worker's ladder is removed when he is on top of the lantern post doing the disconnection and are told to re-connect or stay up there. The second method is the use of organized mob to openly threaten the GEC workers doing the disconnection.

Please let me know if this happening in other areas and what the gov't. is doing about it.

Hope you got a mansion to host all ah we
Soon soon in the works . But man no family member wanna return.
Don’t know what it will take to change this place in Guyana , but it’s getting worst every year.
-Corruption and lawlessness everywhere.
- You have to bribe to get things done, and them government workers smart rass .. the bribery has to go down the chain.
- Garbage piling up all over.
- as for drivers ... ayo think about Indian, how them driving.
- them traffic lights don’t work, them thieving out the solar battery.
as for them mini bus, they unda taking and over taking, stopping in the middle of the road for passengers. Total madness rass .
in the day, your life at risk by the lawlessness on the road including bikers with guns.
When I step out for business, I am armed plus a driver and a armed guard. think about the stress.
You only stop at certain place for a beer, cause you call ahead to your friend who owns the bar, so he put things in place ( security and them things )
Just think about armed guard with AK47 guarding them night spots and business entrance.

in the night , your life at risk from the bandit. ( so with all of this, the family don’t even wanna come for vacation)
So to avoid the madness on the rd is flying to Barbados, then to Ogle, do your business and out in a day or two.
So now me a hope to win the LOTTO and buy wan private plane ✈️ .. and build wan helipad on the mansion 😊
Meanwhile dem politicians spending more time cussing each other and cussing Exxon!This is how Coolie and Blackman does roll! Compare that to here! They at each other’s throats but the people’s business is being addressed!
Too much negativity from Dave , good he is out Guyana , one less person to poison the Guyanese minds.

FCk U, had I speak the same if PPP was in Government, you would have support me.
You see negativity because your caretaker government is in office. But who are you fooling with what’s posted by the media.

You can live in denial.

Guyana’s homicide, robbery and burglary rates significantly exceed global average – IDB finds

Dec 13, 2018 News 1 Comment

By Kiana Wilburg

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has often reported that serious crime is on the decline. Annual statistics from the Force would even give the impression that perhaps, crime is not so pervasive after all, that to some extent, it can be controlled. But is this really the case?
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) attempted to answer this question in one of its studies by comparing domestic stats with global crime averages. In its study titled, “Understanding and Combating Crime in Guyana,” it was highlighted that homicide is the most reliably reported form of violent crime in Guyana. At 19.4 homicides per 100,000 people in 2015, the study notes that Guyana’s reported homicide rate is relatively high and above the global average which stands at 6.2 per 100,000.

Notice the arrogance , you aren't permanently residing in Guyana , one foot in NA and another in GY.

By the way the article is one year ago , the stats have not reached that level overnight. I have reports from the IDB way back from 1992. I am aware of the statistics.

I don’t agree!

My question really was how the Blackman thinks he will fare under a Latino or Chinese dominated country! Indians will prosper and you can bet crime will be under better control!

That’s true.

What I have also seen is lots of Blacks in Indian villages. Good and bad ways.
The youth - blacks and Indians playing volleyball together and the friendship is noticeable.
Then you have the druggie who hangs out with the outsider criminals , and it sends a wrong message about the decent blacks who is involved in sports.

It was PPP Government that bridge the races by opening housing schemes that have all races.
