ExxonMobil Guyana Limited (EMGL) plans to implement a multi-year enabling agreement for a suite of brownfield projects. The projects will primarily require offshore construction services, along with onshore fabrication and occasional onshore construction.
According to EMGL, all work will be based on Engineering Issued for Construction (IFC) packages. Activities will take place onboard its fleet of floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels and within the Georgetown vicinity.

Brownfield projects aim to sustain FPSO operations and include facility modifications or upgrades. EMGL forecasts annual project hours will grow from 300,000 to 500,000 over the coming years.
The FPSOs are operated by SBM Offshore (Destiny, Unity, Prosperity, Yellowtail, and Jaguar) and MODEC (Errea Wittu and Hammerhead). Contractors will be required to interface with these operators and their systems.
EMGL manages logistics for personnel and materials offshore.
OMNI, in partnership with EMGL, provides helicopter transport from a heliport near Ogle Airport in Georgetown. EMGL also uses Guyana Shorebase Incorporated (GYSBI) for offshore material loadouts.
GYSBI operates four berths just south of Georgetown, facilitating logistics for chemicals, fuel, and other materials. EMGL deploys a fleet of Platform Supply Vessels and Multipurpose Installation Vessels, with crane capacities typically at or below 250 tonnes.
EMGL also contracts Vreed-en-Hoop Shorebase Incorporated (VEHSI), which is based on the West Bank. VEHSI mainly supports future subsea developments but may also handle occasional logistics in a similar role to GYSBI.
