A timeline of Exxon’s oil development projects in Guyana

With more than 30 discoveries made offshore Guyana, ExxonMobil has a clear line of sight for the addition of six floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessels by 2027, a goal that is expected to see oil production exceeding 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd).
