? 圭亞那考慮組建自己的國有石油公司。  

? 圭亞那副總統：實現圭亞那經濟多元化至關重要。  

? 圭亞那將尋找一個“戰略合作伙伴”來經營一家國有石油公司。

據美國油價網4月19日報道，圭亞那副總裁巴拉特·賈格迪奧周二（4月19日）在紐約舉行的BNEF峰會上表示，圭亞那正在考慮采取一項重大舉措，可能使埃克森美孚公司退出進一步勘探領域的競標。  

這一消息傳來之際，圭亞那副總統賈格迪奧表示，該國的石油財富構成了風險，讓這個世界上增長最快的經濟體多樣化將至關重要。 

在此之前，埃克森美孚公司還作出了為其在圭亞那的Yellow Tail項目追加100億美元的最終投資決定（FID），這個項目將在2025年開始生產，石油日產量為25萬桶，這是埃克森美孚公司在圭亞那迄今最大的石油開發項目。

圭亞那目前正在計劃下一輪石油許可證出售招標，此輪招標預計將在9月份做出決定，但圭亞那一直對埃克森美孚公司目前在圭亞那控制的石油項目數量感到擔憂。

自2015年埃克森美孚公司在圭亞那獲得其首個石油發現以來，圭亞那已經被外國石油公司的興趣淹沒，圭亞那現在將尋找一個“戰略合作伙伴”來經營一家國有石油公司——戰略合作伙伴很可能來自中東。 

推動圭亞那加大對其石油財富的控制并不是什么新鮮事。圭亞那因與埃克森美孚公司的交易而受到批評，原因是圭亞那在與該公司的最初交易中，讓步太多。 全球見證組織2020年的一份報告顯示，圭亞那在與埃克森美孚公司的海上石油交易中損失了高達550億美元。  

埃克森美孚公司迄今已經在圭亞那獲得了20多個發現，由于圭亞那的盈虧平衡價格較低，而且發現了高質量的輕質低硫石油，因此這家美國石油巨頭將其在圭亞那的油氣勘探和生產放在了優先位置。

賈格迪奧表示，圭亞那的石油日產量預計到2025年前將升至80萬桶。

Guyana Considers Creating Own State-Owned Oil Company

·     Guyana considers creation of state-run oil company.

·     Guyana President: diversifying Guyana's economy is crucial.

·     Guyana will look for a “strategic partner” to run a state-run oil company.

The world’s newest offshore oil player, Guyana, is considering making a big move—one that could sideline Exxon from bidding on further exploration areas, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo said at the BNEF Summit in New York on Tuesday. 

The news comes as Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo said that the nation’s oil wealth poses a risk, and that diversifying the fastest growing economy in the world would be critical.

It also follows Exxon’s FID for an additional $10 billion on its Yellow Tail project, which should start producing in 2025 with a production of 250,000 bpd—Exxon’s largest Guyanese project to date.

Guyana is now planning the next round of oil licensing, with decisions on the licensing process expected by September, but Guyana has had concerns about the number of oil projects Exxon now controls.

Guyana has been inundated with oil company interest after Exxon made its initial discovery since 2015, and Guyana will now look for a “strategic partner” to run a state-run oil company—potentially from the Middle East.

The push for Guyana to have a bigger hand in its oil wealth is nothing new. Guyana was criticized for the deal it made with Exxon following Exxon’s initial discovery on the grounds that Guyana gave up too much to Exxon. One report from Watchdog Global Witness in 2020 suggested that Guyana lost as much as $55 billion from its offshore oil deal with Exxon.

Exxon has made more than 20 discoveries in Guyana, and the oil supermajor is prioritizing its exploration and production in Guyana due to low breakevens and high-quality, light, sweet oil found there. 

Guyana’s oil production is expected to rise to 800,000 bpd by 2025, Jagdeo said.
