???? 據3月3日Oil Now報道，埃克森美孚圭亞那公司正計劃就項目岸基設施、設備和服務達成一項授權協議。從2023年開始，這家能源公司正在尋找能夠在圭亞那提供功能齊全、適合用途的海岸基地的承包商，以支持未來項目的需要。
????Liza開發的第二階段將于明年啟動，而Payara項目的目標是在2024年首次開采石油。在多產的Stabroek區塊，目前已獲得18個新發現，預計未來幾年還將開展許多其他項目。
????在一份信息請求(RFI)問卷中，承包商被要求提供其公司所擁有或控制的擬使用土地的詳細信息，以及可用的配套基礎設施、公用設施的說明。承包商還必須說明其擬定地點的開發計劃，包括開發階段、相關時間表、參與開發的公司及其角色，以及場地擴展的潛力。其他需要的信息包括完整的操作計劃和執行工程、建設、項目監督、整體岸基開發和岸基設施管理/運營能力的證明。
????埃克森美孚圭亞那公司表示：“埃克森美孚的本地戰略是我們業務的核心，地區因素正集成到日常流程和程序中，并指導我們今天的工作方式和明天的計劃。通過多層次的方式，我們專注于搭建勞動力和供應商能力，并結合當地社區的戰略投資。”
????分析人士表示，圭亞那海上日益增長的活動可能會在十年期的后半程達到頂峰，并將需要大規模的海岸基地支持服務，這是該國將開始考慮的事情。
????特立尼達和多巴哥前能源和能源事務部長Kevin Ramnarine指出，圭亞那近海將從目前的一艘FPSO增加到至少5艘，此外還將增加多艘鉆井船和支援船。到2030年，正在運營和訂購的FPSO數量將達到10個。
????海上作業目前由圭亞那擁有的主要港口公司圭亞那海岸基地公司(GYSBI)支持，該公司已經從雇傭少數圭亞那人的12小時運營模式轉變為現在的24小時運營模式，接近100%的當地員工。Ramnarine表示，隨著海上作業的增加，對這類服務的需求將會增加。
????到2025年，這一數字將大幅增加，因此圭亞那現在必須考慮支持這一不斷擴大行業的海岸基礎設施，因為該行業將在圭亞那不斷擴大，直到達到頂峰。

????Big ramp up in Guyana offshore activities see Exxon looking to expand shore base services
????ExxonMobil Guyana is planning to put in place an enabling agreement for project shore base facilities, equipment, and services to support future projects in the new South American oil producing country.
????The energy company is looking to identify Contractors who can provide a fully functional, fit for purpose shore base located in Guyana to support the needs of future projects, starting in 2023.
????Phase 2 of the Liza Development is set for start-up next year while the Payara project is targeted for first oil in 2024. A number of other projects are expected to get underway in the coming years from the 18 discoveries made so far at the prolific Stabroek block.
????In a Request For Information (RFI) questionnaire seen by OilNOW, contractors are being asked to provide details of the land owned or controlled by their company that is being proposed for use, along with descriptions of the supporting infrastructure/utilities available. Contractors must also describe their development plans for the proposed location including phases of development, associated timeline, companies involved in the development and their roles, and potential for site expansion. Other information required include full operational plans and a demonstration of competence for performing engineering, construction, project oversight, overall shorebase development, and management /operations of shorebase facilities.
????“ExxonMobil’s local content strategy is core to our business. Its elements are formally integrated into daily processes and procedures and guides the way we work today and plan for tomorrow,” the company stated in the RFI documents. “Using a multi-tiered approach, we focus on building workforce and supplier capabilities in conjunction with strategic investments in the local community.”
????Analysts have said the growing activity offshore Guyana is likely to hit peak in the latter part of this decade and will require large shorebase support services which is something the country will have to begin considering.
????Former Trinidad and Tobago Minister of Energy and Energy Affairs, Kevin Ramnarine has pointed out that Guyana offshore will move from one FPSO at present to at least five towards the middle of the decade in addition to multiple drillships and support vessels. By 2030 the number of FPSOs in operation and on order could reach ten.
????The offshore operations are currently supported by majority Guyanese-owned port company – Guyana Shore base Inc. (GYSBI) which has moved from operating on a 12-hour basis employing just a handful of Guyanese to what is now a 24-hr facility with close to a 100% local workforce. As the offshore operations multiply, Ramnarine said demand for these types of services will increase.
????“That is going to multiply significantly by 2025 so Guyana has to give thought now to the shorebase infrastructure that supports that expanding industry because the industry is going to keep expanding in Guyana until it reaches its peak which would be sometime in the late part of this decade,” he stated.
