ExxonMobil said it has identified more associated gas resources in Guyana’s Stabroek Block to more than double its intended supply for the Gas-to-Energy project.
J Hunter Farris, Exxon’s Senior Vice President, Deep Water made the announcement during a presentation at the Guyana Energy Conference.
“To be specific, this means we can increase the amount of gas from 50 million cubic feet a day to about 120 million cubic feet a day. This is great news. That’s enough gas to support the second power plant that President [Irfaan] Ali has proposed,” he shared.

The pipeline, built by Exxon, for the Gas-to-Energy project was built with the capacity of 125-150 million cubic feet per day.
Farris said that ExxonMobil now has a line of site to map out a long term strategy for Guyana’s gas resources.
He shared as well that there is also a “significant” amount of non-associated gas in the southeast section of the Stabroek Block, anchored by the Longtail and Haimara discoveries among several others. Longtail is being pursued as the 8th development
Exxon recently completed the appraisal of this area. The data is now being analyzed. “Overall, we have invested more than US$1.5 billion to better understand that area,” he continued.
Exxon completed installation of the GtE pipeline in 2024. Gas is expected to flow from the Liza field through it, to shore, later this year at a rate of 50 million cubic feet per day (cf/d). The gas would be received by an integrated gas processing facility at Wales, West Bank Demerara, including a 300-megawatt (MW) power plant and a natural gas liquids (NGL) separation plant.
