The pipeline for Guyana’s Gas-to-Energy project is set and ready to introduce natural gas from the Liza field to onshore facilities at Wales, West Bank Demerara.

Providing an update, ExxonMobil Guyana President, Alistair Routledge said that the pipeline has been “mechanically completed” meaning that all components, parts, and assemblies are installed, connected, and aligned. 

“[It] has been hydro-tested, pressure-tested and we have been going through the dewatering exercise and then introducing nitrogen. So, we have a pipeline that is ready to introduce natural gas,” he told journalists at an Oct. 9 press conference.

Exxon had shut down the Liza Destiny and Liza Unity production vessels for 12 days each in July and August to facilitate the hook-up of the pipeline. 

Exxon is responsible for building the pipeline to bring the gas from the Liza field in the Stabroek Block to onshore facilities. The company expects to conclude entirely by 2024, but gas is not expected to be transported until the completion of the onshore component in 2025. The gas will be used for power generation and other forms of commercialization. 

Work has commenced on a site, where an integrated gas processing facility will be constructed. The Guyana government contracted a US-based group (CH4-Lindsayca) to build-out the facility at Wales, West Bank Demerara, for US$759 million.
