(Oil Price) – Oil prices remain elevated in the wake of the Iran War. Tehran’s ability to close the Strait of Hormuz has sharply crimped world oil supply, with around 20% of all petroleum consumed globally passing through the waterway. This triggered an oil shock with prices surging to levels not seen since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Although this is straining economies worldwide, it
(By Oil & Gas 360) – A decade ago, Guyana wasn’t part of the global oil conversation. Today, it’s one of the most important new sources of supply in the world. Few countries have moved from discovery to production as quickly or as successfully. What started as a high-risk exploration play has become a case study in how modern oil development can
(By Oil & Gas 360) – Suriname has been one of the most talked-about emerging oil provinces in recent years, often mentioned alongside Guyana as part of the same transformational offshore basin. Early discoveries in Block 58, led by TotalEnergies and APA Corporation, confirmed a working petroleum system and pointed to hundreds of millions of barrels of recoverable resources, quickly putting
(By Oil & Gas 360) – Two countries. Two frontier basins. Two very different stages of the same story. Guyana and Namibia are now central to the next wave of global oil supply. Both have delivered major discoveries, attracted the world’s largest oil companies, and reshaped the flow of capital into frontier exploration. But beyond the surface similarities, they represent very
(By Oil & Gas 360) – As established supply centers face constraints, attention is shifting toward the next wave of production. These are not traditional basins. They are emerging, less developed, higher-risk regions, but increasingly necessary in a market that needs new supply. Frontier exploration is back. Recent offshore discoveries in Namibia have re-energized interest in underexplored basins, suggesting that
(World Oil) – Guyana is preparing a second pipeline that will bring natural gas from its deepwater oil fields to the shore where it will be used for power and other industrial development. The project at Berbice, in the east of the South American country, will be finalized “very soon,” President Irfaan Ali told the Guyana Energy Conference in Georgetown on Tuesday. It
(BOE Report) – Exxon Mobil beat Wall Street targets in fourth-quarter earnings reported on Friday, with higher oil production in profitable Permian Basin and Guyana assets helping to boost the No. 1 U.S. oil producer’s results. Adjusted earnings for the October to December quarter were $1.71 per share, beating a consensus estimate of $1.68 per share from analyst data compiled by
(World Oil) – EnerMech has been awarded a subsea pre-commissioning services contract by Saipem for the Whiptail development offshore Guyana, expanding its footprint in one of the world’s most active deepwater provinces. The Whiptail project is located about 200 miles offshore Guyana in the Stabroek Block, which is operated by ExxonMobil Guyana. The contract marks EnerMech’s first involvement on the Whiptail field and its
(Oil Price)– Since the discovery of vast oil reserves in Guyana around a decade ago, the South American country’s oil industry has grown significantly following investment from several international oil majors and the beginning of offshore production. As Guyana begins to see the revenue from its black gold, the government is reinvesting some of the money in renewables to diversify
(World Oil)– Global crude oil production is forecast to rise by about 800,000 bpd in 2026, with Brazil, Guyana and Argentina accounting for roughly half of that growth, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s December Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO). The EIA said crude supply growth since 2023 has been led largely by producers outside the OPEC+ group. While coordinated
(World Oil) – Chevron Corp. has announced an organic capital expenditure (capex) range of $18–$19 billion for 2026, positioning next year’s budget at the lower end of its long-term guidance as the company emphasizes disciplined spending, efficiency improvements and high-return upstream development. Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth said the program is structured to expand cash flow and earnings while maintaining strategic flexibility.
(World Oil)– Chevron Corporation reported record oil and gas production in the third quarter of 2025, driven by the integration of Hess Corporation assets and strong performance from core upstream regions including the Permian basin, Gulf of America, Kazakhstan, and Guyana. The company’s global production rose 21% year-over-year to 4.1 million boe per day, its highest on record. The acquisition
