据1月4日Oil Now报道，圭亚那的石油和天然气工业目前仍处于初级阶段。大规模的海上作业推动了多个区块的勘探活动和Stabroek区块的生产，自2015年以来，埃克森美孚在该区块发现了超过100亿桶石油。
埃克森美孚圭亚那总裁阿利斯泰尔·劳特利奇（Alistair Routledge）表示，“圭亚那人民从我们的运营业务中受益，这对我们来说非常重要，因为这些收益不仅是通过政府收入，而是直接通过我们项目实施获益”。
正在规划中的一个里程碑式天然气转化能源项目，将为第三大区块和全国各地的人们带来巨大利益，包括更实惠的电力和一系列附带的商业机会。
自2015年以来，埃克森美孚已花费超过5亿美元与当地供应商合作，支持新兴油气行业。到目前为止，这个南美国家从其原油出口中获得的收入也差不多达到了这个数字，到2021年底达到900万桶。
埃克森在圭亚那-劳特利奇认为公司在本土开发方面取得了前所未有的进展，“我很高兴，超过3200名圭亚那人参与了我们行业，从海上工作到支持陆上供应链。我们预计，在未来几年里，有更多人将受益”。
2021年2月，该公司与合资企业Hess共同发起了大圭亚那倡议(GGI)，该10年期倡议承诺提供超过200亿戈瑞(1亿美元)资金，以显著扩大圭亚那产能，促进圭亚那经济可持续发展。
此外，埃克森圭亚那新总部将为乔治城电网供电。
GGI产能扩建工作包括与圭亚那技术、职业教育培训、当地商业发展中心和圭亚那大学协商设计的方案。该方案重点是支持区域倡议和包括卫生和农业在内的各个部门的产能发展。
自然资源部部长维克拉姆·巴拉特(Vickram Bharrat)表示，通过有针对性的产能建设项目，当地工人和企业正在该领域发挥越来越有意义的作用。他表示，“随着国家预计在十年内每天生产约100万桶石油，政府计划在直接收益之外进行资本化，并最大限度地增加附带收益和开发本地产能新机会”。

Exxon expects benefits from massive Guyana offshore operations to reach across country
Now in its second year of oil production, Guyana’s oil and gas industry is still in its infant stage. The massive operations offshore are driving exploration activities across several blocks and production at the giant Stabroek Block where ExxonMobil has so far found more than 10 billion barrels of oil equivalent since 2015.
“It’s very important to us that the people in Guyana benefit from our operations, not just through the revenues that’s generated to the government, but also directly through the implementation of the projects,” said Alistair Routledge, President of ExxonMobil Guyana.
A landmark gas-to-energy project being planned is set to deliver huge benefits to Region Three and to people across the country with more affordable electricity and a range of spin-off business opportunities.
Since 2015, the company has spent more than half a billion U.S. dollars with local suppliers supporting the emerging oil and gas industry. The South American country has also received a similar sum so far in revenues generated from the export of its share of crude, amounting to 9 million barrels at the close of 2021.

“I am pleased to say more than 3200 Guyanese are involved in our industry. Everything from working offshore to supporting the supply chain onshore. And we expect over the coming years, more and more benefits to reach more people,” Routledge said.
In February 2021, the company along with co-venturers Hess launched the Greater Guyana Initiative (GGI), a 10-year commitment of more than GY$20 billion (US$100 million) to significantly expand capacity building efforts and promote sustainable economic development in Guyana.

GGI’s capacity development efforts include programmes designed in consultation with Guyana’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training, the Centre for Local Business Development and University of Guyana. The programme is focusing on supporting regional initiatives and capacity development of diverse sectors including health and agriculture.
Minister of Natural Resources, Vickram Bharrat said through targeted capacity-building programs local workers and businesses are playing a progressively meaningful role in the sector.
“With the nation expected to produce about 1 million barrels of oil per day within a decade, the government plans to capitalise beyond the direct benefits, and maximise spin-off benefits and new opportunities to develop local content,” he said.
