Why Guyana
World class oil production will propel Guyana’s economy for the next 30 years. Numbers represent “barrels of oil per day” (bopd).
■ Liza Phase I - 120,000 bopd 2020
■ Liza Phase II - 220,000 bopd 2022
■ Payara - 220,000 bopd 2023
■ Turbot - 220,000 bopd 2025
Production is scheduled to grow to 750,000 bopd by 2025, resulting in over $6 Billion/year of revenue to the Country of Guyana at current prices. By the end of the decade, production is slated to be 1.2 million bopd with a resulting inflow of $10 billion/year to the country.
