圭亞那副總統(tǒng)巴拉特· 賈格迪奧表示,為了成功拍賣這些剩余區(qū)塊,圭亞那政府首先必須“積極執(zhí)行”石油合同中的讓與條款, 賈格迪奧強(qiáng)調(diào)了做出某些政策決定的必要性。他說(shuō),這些問(wèn)題涉及確定拍賣模式的重要性,以及建立健全的法律框架來(lái)指導(dǎo)這一過(guò)程的重要性。

巴拉特說(shuō),圭亞那當(dāng)局是否禁止目前的石油區(qū)塊持有者參與新一輪投標(biāo)過(guò)程是另一個(gè)需要討論的問(wèn)題。

2022 Guyana bid round will open more acreage in prolific basin
By the third quarter of this year, Guyanese authorities plan to auction the nation’s remaining offshore oil blocks to international oil companies (IOC) marking a shift from the country’s earlier awards of production sharing contracts (PSCs) based on direct negotiations. Guyana is also looking to increase oil royalties for future PSCs.
Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo said in order to successfully auction off these blocks, the government first has to “aggressively enforce” the relinquishment provisions in the oil contracts. Mr. Jagdeo has emphasized the need for certain policy decisions to be made. He said these relate to the importance of identifying the model of auctioning and the significance of a robust legal framework to guide this process.
More than 10 billion barrels of hydrocarbons have been discovered offshore Guyana to date at the ExxonMobil-operated Stabroek Block. Beyond Stabroek, Guyana has six other exploration blocks operated by various companies.
Energy research and business intelligence company Rystad Energy said potential bidders are most likely to be interested in deeper waters, where most of the existing discoveries are located.
Guyana’s Natural Resources Minister, Vickram Bharrat told OilNOW one particular company has its eyes on Block C. The company is willing to do a 3D seismic study on the block at no cost to Guyana which Mr. Bharrat said would provide extremely valuable data to the new oil producing nation. The government is still to make a decision on this and is expected to do so ahead of finalizing the new bid round.
“We have already indicated to the interested company that the government wants this to be an open process, and this principle will go for how we deal with the relinquishment for other blocks too,” Mr. Bharrat said.
The other unallocated offshore deepwater region lies in the northwest of Guyana’s offshore sector, an area that is under territorial controversy between Guyana and Venezuela. Analysts say this could be a roadblock for interested companies to explore this area.
Whether Guyanese authorities prohibit current oil block holders from being a part of the bidding process, is another matter for discussion the Vice President said.
