ExxonMobil steps up push for Payara project sanction

摘要

EXXONMOBIL has taken another step towards developing billions of barrels of oil discovered on Guyana's Stabroek block with the submission of environmental permitting applications for the future deployment of a 220,000 barrels per day floating production, storage and offloading vessel on the Payara discovery. An environmental impact assessment report was submitted to Guyana's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the Stabroek consortium led by the US supermajor prepares to sanction a third development project in the prolific 6.7 million-acre block. The EIA report for the Payara field confirmed plans to put a floater into production in early 2023.
