据彭博社 2 月 19 日报道，埃克森美孚公司一位高管在乔治城举行的圭亚那能源会议上表示，该公司计划增加圭亚那的天然气产量，并正在考虑将其出口到全球市场。

埃克森美孚于 2019 年开始在圭亚那近海生产石油。该公司已启动三个海上项目，另有五个项目正在筹备中。圭亚那的生产能力预计将超过 170 万桶/天，到 2030 年总产量将增长到 130 万桶/天。

圭亚那国家经理阿利斯泰尔·劳特利奇 (Alistair Routledge) 提出了一项概念，将埃克森美孚长尾开发项目产生的天然气输送到岸上，用于生产肥料和氧化铝以及为数据中心供电。

埃克森美孚表示，计划明年对长尾项目做出最终投资决定，并计划于2029年上线该项目。该项目的天然气产量可能达到12亿立方英尺/天。

Exxon Mobil plans to increase natural gas production in Guyana and is considering options to export it to global markets, a company executive said at the Guyana Energy Conference in Georgetown, Bloomberg News reported Feb. 19.

Exxon began producing oil offshore Guyana in 2019. It has started up three offshore projects and has five more in the works. Production capacity in Guyana is expected to surpass 1.7 MMbbl/d, with gross production growing to 1.3 MMbbl/d by 2030.

Alistair Routledge, the Guyana country manager, presented a concept that would send gas from Exxon’s Longtail development to the shore for use in producing fertilizer and alumina as well as for powering data centers.

Exxon said it plans to make a final investment decision on Longtail next year and for the project to go online by 2029. Gas production from the project could reach 1.2 Bcf/d.
