As ExxonMobil Guyana<\/a> is celebrating 5 years of oil production from the Liza Destiny FPSO, it is a good time to take a look at the potential and the problem of the country\u2019s fast-growing oil and gas sector.<\/p>\n

ExxonMobil on behalf of Hess and CNOOC has placed Guyana at the top of the list of emerging oil producer countries with Stabroek Block.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

Currently increasing its output to over 600,000 barrels per day and anticipated establishment of five more offshore fields by 2030, the scope of activity is massive for such a small country in the Caribbean region.<\/p>\n

Economic improvement has been significant<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to ExxonMobil, this improvement has been the largest sponsor of Guyanese workers paying as high as 6,000 workers, with $2 trillion invested in local goods and services, benefitted over 1,700 businesses.<\/p>\n

How much of this wealth is actually invested and fructified into enhancing quality of life for the masses?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Under the Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) signed in 2016, Guyana<\/a> profits from the 26,800 kilometres square area the country made available for oil drilling through the agreement, only earned a maximum of 14.5% of the revenues that include 75% for cost recovery.<\/p>\n

And though in the newer PSA framework that the PPP\/C Government brings in light that terms such as reducing the cost recovery ceiling to 65% alongside raising the royalties to 10%, all these concerns pertain to future contracts only.<\/p>\n

Alike Economical indicators, Environmental issues are most critical<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Multiple Floating Production Storage and Offloadings (FPSOs) are already in use in Guyana\u2019s offshore environment, and concerns regarding oil spill risk mitigation and management of ecological impacts continue.<\/p>\n

According to the company\u2019s present President, Alistair Routledge, there is a directly aligned aspiration with the government for sustainable development.<\/p>\n

However, the drastic forms of change pose various issues such as the level of transparencies and the level of equality in distribution of wealth.<\/p>\n

Thus, it is the narrative of a success story and a warning tale for the developing, oil-endowed countries on their way to globalization of the global energy markets.<\/p>\n
