Guyana’s Vice President, Bharrat Jagdeo, has expressed dissatisfaction with ExxonMobil’s pace in developing gas resources, though Exxon has said it is exploring the potential for gas development. Jagdeo has stated that if ExxonMobil is not interested in gas development, the discoveries should be relinquished to the government for development by other interested parties. More recently, ExxonMobil Upstream President Liam Mallon told OilNOW the company is aligned with the government on the issue. President of ExxonMobil Guyana, Alistair Routledge, told Reuters that gas production in the Stabroek block may be possible in 2029 or 2030.
Exxon last said it estimates 17 trillion cubic feet of gas has been discovered in the Stabroek block.
