埃克森美孚项目已为圭亚那带来870多亿美元收入

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据10月25日OilNow报道，虽然埃克森美孚1.8万亿美元的Yellowtail项目有望为圭亚那带来可观的收入，但此前批准的项目已经为当地经济注入了数十亿美元，并提升了该国的上游石油行业。

　　根据Yellowtail环境影响评估(EIA)，到目前为止，Stabroek区块之前的开发项目已经为圭亚那带来了超过872亿元(4.36亿美元)的直接收入。这超过了圭亚那2019年的糖(2410万美元)、大米(2.43亿美元)、铝土矿(7330万美元)和木材(2770万美元)行业的出口收入之和。

　　埃克森美孚子公司埃索勘探与生产圭亚那有限公司（EEPGL）为环境保护局编制了环境影响评估报告，该公司表示，这些石油作业为目前支持陆上和海上项目活动的2600多名圭亚那人创造了就业机会。到2021年，800多家当地公司从这些项目上获得了超过776亿圭亚那元(3.88亿美元)的投资。埃克森美孚表示，Yellowtail项目只会增加这些机会。

　　由于这一投资水平，EEPGL表示，该项目将以多种方式为圭亚那公民带来利益，包括通过与圭亚那政府分享收入，详情见圭亚那政府与EEPGL于2017年12月签订的石油协议。

　　埃克森美孚表示，在开发Yellowtail项目时，公司在钻井、设备选择、开发理念和环境管理等方面采用了最合适的行业验证技术。

　　Yellowtail项目预计将于2025-2026年投产，峰值日产量将达25万桶。

　　ExxonMobil projects have pumped more than $87.2 billion into local economy

　　While ExxonMobil’s GY$1.8 trillion Yellowtail project is poised to generate significant revenue flows for Guyana, previously sanctioned projects have already pumped billions of dollars into the local economy while enhancing the country’s upstream petroleum industry.

　　According to the Yellowtail Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), previous Stabroek Block development projects have to date brought more than GY$87.2 billion (US$436 million) in direct revenue to Guyana. This is more than the 2019 export earnings for Guyana’s sugar (US$24.1M), rice (US$243M), bauxite (US$73.3M), and timber (US$27.7M) industries combined.

　　ExxonMobil’s subsidiary, Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL), which produced the EIA for the EPA, said these petroleum operations have created opportunities for more than 2,600 Guyanese who currently support project activities onshore and offshore, and for more than 800 local companies who have received more than GY$77.6 billion (US$388 million) from spending on these projects up to 2021. ExxonMobil said the Yellowtail Project would only to add to these opportunities.

　　As a result of this level of investment, EEPGL said the project will generate benefits for the citizens of Guyana in several ways, including through revenue sharing with the Government of Guyana, as detailed in the Petroleum Agreement between the Government of Guyana and EEPGL which was made available to the public in December 2017.

　　ExxonMobil was keen to note that it is using the most appropriate industry-proven technologies in developing the Yellowtail Project, in terms of well drilling, drilling fluids, equipment selection, development concepts, and environmental management.

　　The Yellowtail Project is expected to come on stream by 2025-2026 and will produce 250,000 barrels of oil per day at peak.
