Hess to Market Guyana Crude

摘要

US oil producer Hess has been selected to market two Guyana crude oil shipments as the emerging oil power seeks a permanent partner to handle its share of a major offshore oil find, the country’s vice president said on Tuesday. The South American country has become an oil hotspot after a consortium led by Exxon Mobil discovered more than 8 billion bbl of oil and gas off its coast (OD Jan.27’21). Guyana receives a portion of the consortium’s output, which it then sells. But with no domestic refining nor a state oil company, Guyana relies on private companies to market its share. President Irfaan Ali’s government relaunched a search for that partner after taking power last year, receiving 29 bids in October.
