With projected growth of 10.3% in 2025 and production of 650,000 barrels daily, Guyana is experiencing an economic boom driven by oil. However, this progress raises tensions with Venezuela and attracts the attention of the United States to the region.

The small South American country of Guyana has been attracting global attention due to its unprecedented economic growth.

Driven by discoveries of large oil reserves, the former British colony is undergoing a boom that has transformed its economy in just a few years.

According to the IMF (International Monetary Fund), Guyana is expected to grow 10.3% in 2025. For comparison, Brazil, the largest economy in the region, is expected to advance only 2.5% — four times less.

Oil Boom

Until 2019, the country produced not even a drop of oil. Today, it extracts about 650,000 barrels per day (bpd) and plans to more than double this volume in the coming years.

In September, the Guyanese government approved a new exploration license for the offshore Hammerhead project, operated by American ExxonMobil (XOM).

The Ministry of Natural Resources reported that when the Hammerhead field is completed in 2029, national production is expected to reach 1.5 million barrels per day.

Since 2020, Guyana’s economic performance has been impressive. In 2022, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 63%, even surpassing historically dynamic countries like China.

The Guyana Boom and Tension with Venezuela

The rapid advance has also brought diplomatic issues. Venezuela, which claims part of Guyana’s territory, has heightened regional tensions.

The government of Nicolás Maduro approved a law that turns the Essequibo region — rich in oil — into one of Venezuela’s 24 states.

In March, Maduro threatened the neighboring country again, stating that Guyana would have to “accept Venezuela’s sovereignty.”

U.S. Reaction

With such wealth at stake, the United States reacted. A senior American official stated that an attack on Guyana or ExxonMobil “would not end well,” making it clear that Washington does not intend to remain neutral in the face of rising tensions in the region.

Oil Boom

The Guyana Boom and Tension with Venezuela

U.S. Reaction

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Lula’s government changes rule in important benefit and thousands of Brazilians will no longer receive it; see what has changed.

Roraima bets on the sun to escape high tariffs: Amid the energy crisis and price hikes, solar energy is growing in Roraima and transforming consumption in the North region.

Scientists want to turn internet cables into sensors to listen for tremors on the Moon, and the plan could permanently change how the Artemis missions will explore, map risks, and protect astronauts on the lunar surface.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Researchers discover a possible hydrogen deposit of up to 46 million tons beneath an ancient coal basin, and the volume could exceed half of the entire global production.

While the world looks at oil, the war with Iran is already disrupting helium supply from Qatar, affecting car and iPhone chips, threatening AI expansion, and putting pressure on aluminum packaging at the highest value in four years.

Global warming will expose a treasure hidden under the ice of Antarctica and may spark an international dispute over gold and valuable minerals.

The Argentine government celebrates the lowest poverty rate in 7 years, but experts warn that the methodology has changed, real wages have fallen, unemployment has risen, and the number of people on the streets of Buenos Aires has increased by 57% since Milei took office.

The rise in oil prices could ensure an extra revenue of R$ 100 billion for the Federal Government, indicates a recent economic study.

Naturgy begins an investment of R$ 1.6 million to expand the gas network in Niterói and benefit thousands of new residences and businesses.

A major turn in the Justice system suspends tax increases and directly impacts oil and gas companies in Brazil by affecting costs, contracts, and financial planning, leaving uncertain what could happen to the sector if these costs had increased.

Brava Energia begins drilling in Papa-Terra and Atlanta and could change the game by reducing costs in oil while increasing production and strengthening competitiveness in the offshore market.

Petrobras surprises the world again by announcing a new discovery in the pre-salt with excellent quality oil.
