ExxonMobil Guyana Limited is pressing ahead with Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) survey operations at the Haimara Field in the south-eastern Stabroek Block.
The Maritime Administration Department said the exercise is scheduled to conclude on December 31, 2025, and will utilise the OSV Armada 7807.
The survey zone lies about 102.47 nautical miles (189.78 kilometers) offshore and spans 305.75 square nautical miles (1,048.70 square kilometers).
Haimara was Exxon’s 12th discovery. The Haimara-1 well “encountered approximately 207 feet (63 meters) of high-quality gas condensate-bearing sandstone reservoir” after being drilled to 18,289 feet (5,575 meters) in 4,590 feet (1,399 meters) of water.
The government has been urging Exxon to move ahead with developing the Pluma and Haimara gas fields near the Suriname border. The company is assessing a major project that would route gas to Berbice, which President Irfaan Ali has said must become a new growth pole as Guyana’s economy expands.
Guyana is already advancing Gas-to-Energy infrastructure at Wales in the Demerara county, using gas from the Liza field in the first phase and from the Hammerhead development in a second phase expected in 2029.
The government recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Cerebras Systems, outlining plans to build a 100-MW data center there, powered by gas transported through a pipeline Exxon installed last year.
