Exxon seeking more shore based facilities

With projections for the production of 220,000 barrels of oil per day from 2023 and 500,000 by 2025, ExxonMobil yesterday said that the Houston, East Bank Demerara shore base alone will not suffice and has advertised for firms to show their onshore support services capabilities.

While emphasising that local content requirements must be met, the company released information on the Request for Information (RFI) with strict declaration and due diligence criteria to be met before consideration. It made it clear that only companies registered with its Centre for Local Business Development (CLBD) will be eligible.

ExxonMobil informed that its subsidiary – Esso Exploration and Produc-tion Guyana Limited (EEPGL) – is “seeking to identify companies who can provide shore base services in Guyana to support the needs of its future Guyana project starting in 2023,” the advertisement in yesterday’s edition of the Stabroek News stated.
