By 2030, ExxonMobil Guyana expects to have total production capacity of 1.7 million oil equivalent barrels per day from eight developments. "ExxonMobil Guyana's deepwater developments are the most successful in the world. In five years, the company has started up four complex offshore mega-projects under budget and ahead of schedule – while simultaneously advancing plans for four additional projects by the end of the decade," the United States (US)-based oil major noted. Two more 250,000 bpd developments are expected to begin production between 2026 and 2028, while another two are undergoing the application process with potential startup between 2029 and 2030. These future projects are expected to broaden the production space beyond oil, to include natural gas and condensate. Only recently, ExxonMobil Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Darren Woods said at the company's second-quarter earnings call on August 1, that the Yellowtail startup will mark a major milestone not only for Guyana but also for the region.
