LatAmOil: ExxonMobil brings second oilfield on stream offshore Guyana

ExxonMobil (US) and its partners launched commercial operations at the Liza-2 oilfield offshore Guyana on February 11, marking the start of their second development project at the Stabroek block.

The US super-major issued a statement announcing first oil at Liza-2, saying that the Liza Unity floating production, storage and off-loading (FPSO) unit had come on stream. The vessel is on track to reach its full design capacity of 220,000 barrels per day (bpd) later this year, it said.

When the Liza Unity reaches this milestone, it will combine with the Liza Destiny, the FPSO installed at the Liza-1 field, to bring the Stabroek block’s production up to more than 340,000 bpd. The latter vessel, which came online in late 2019, is currently operating above its design capacity of 120,000 bpd, the statement noted.
