“Breakneck Production Growth”: Exxon Leverages Guyana Boom In Global Oil Talks<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Exxon Mobil Corp. is using its rapid buildout in Guyana as a selling point in talks with other governments looking to develop oil and gas reserves, according to Bloomberg<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company says the speed and efficiency of its offshore projects there \u2014 which lifted production from zero to nearly 1 million barrels a day in just over six years \u2014 show it can execute complex developments better than rivals. Chief Executive Officer Darren Woods calls that a \u201cunique value proposition\u201d for host countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to bring something unique to you that has great value to you, and then we expect to be compensated for that,\u201d Woods said. \u201cThat\u2019s the proposition that we\u2019re making to basically all the resource owners and our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

As major energy firms compete to secure new supplies, Exxon argues its steady focus on oil and gas, along with disciplined project delivery, sets it apart from peers pivoting strategies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can see that in Guyana,\u201d Woods said. \u201cWe\u2019re delivering differentiated results. Importantly, our industry peers can see it, and the resource owners can see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Bloomberg writes<\/a> that oil has transformed Guyana\u2019s economy, building a sovereign wealth fund of about $3 billion and making it one of the fastest-growing countries in the world. Still, inflation, inequality and reliance on Exxon remain concerns, and many high-level industry jobs are held by foreign workers.<\/p>\n

To help close the skills gap, Exxon plans to invest $100 million over a decade in science and technology education, establishing STEM centers across Guyana modeled on facilities in Houston. President Irfaan Ali said building local expertise is critical.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want an upskilled workforce to be ready for high-paying jobs, to have more knowledge transfer, technology transfer and skill transfer to the local workforce,\u201d Ali said. \u201cWe want the capacity to be built in-country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ali has sharply increased public spending since 2021 and plans $7.5 billion in infrastructure investment this year as output is projected to rise 30% to 1.3 million barrels a day in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Woods said community support is essential to long-term success. \u201cPeople in the community have to see the benefits of you being there,\u201d he said. \u201cTo think you\u2019re going to go into a community or location and be at odds with the people that you\u2019re living and working with, that equation will never work.\u201d<\/p>\n

In negotiations from Angola to Greece and Egypt, Exxon points to Guyana as proof it can deliver more value per dollar \u2014 benefiting both the company and resource owners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
