ExxonMobil Guyana President Alistair Routledge says the company is proud to deliver a consistent stream of projects and a pipeline of job opportunities to Guyana.
In a July 15 LinkedIn post, Routledge said, “Each new project that’s funded creates new employment prospects for Guyanese workers…delivering value to the nation not just in revenues but also employment and business opportunities.”
He was at the time commenting on a recent graduation ceremony held at the Guyana Technical Training College Inc. where over 30 trainees were recognized for completing the programme at the FacTor facility.

“With strong collaboration from partners, including the Government of Guyana, our Stabroek Block co-venturers and SBM Offshore, world-class training programs and career pathways like this are now possible in Guyana,” he added.
Since their first commercial discovery in 2015, Exxon and its co-venturers Hess and CNOOC have unlocked more than 11 billion barrels of proven oil and gas resources in the Stabroek Block.

Guyana is one of the world’s fastest-growing oil provinces. Production averaged 631,000 barrels per day in the first quarter of 2025 from the Liza 1, Liza 2 and Payara developments. A fourth project, Yellowtail, is expected to start production in August.
ExxonMobil has a line of sight for the addition of eight floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessels by 2027, a goal that is expected to see oil production reach 1.7 million barrels per day (b/d).
Exxon holds a 45% interest in the Block. Hess holds 30%, while CNOOC holds 25%.
