Opens an intriguing new chapter in Guyana’s gas story
ExxonMobil’s proposed Longtail development will introduce Guyana to natural gas production, expanding the nation’s energy portfolio beyond oil.
The project is set to reach a final investment decision in 2026 and will be the first in Guyana to focus on non-associated gas. It will help lay the groundwork for future gas production and strengthen the connection to the national Gas-to-Energy initiative in Wales.
A Different Kind of Development The company intends Longtail to operate as a gas and condensate facility. The plan is to recover valuable light hydrocarbons, known as condensate, while reinjecting most of the gas in the early years to maintain reservoir pressure and enhance production efficiency.
This approach marks a shift from previous projects, which were built primarily around oil production with limited gas handling capacity. Click here to read more.
