Guyana Authorized The Hammerhead Project By ExxonMobil, Which Is Expected To Double Oil Production By 2029 And Consolidate The Country As An Energy Power Near The Essequibo, In Dispute With Venezuela.

Guyana announced on Monday (22) the approval of the exploration license for the offshore Hammerhead field, located in the Stabroek block in the Atlantic. The expectation is that the initiative, valued at around US$ 6.8 billion, will turn the country into one of the world’s major oil producers in per capita terms.

The location is close to the Essequibo territory, a region that remains in dispute with Venezuela, a factor that increases the political and economic relevance of the venture.

Guyana’s Oil Production Expected To Surpass 1.5 Million Barrels Per Day

According to official estimates, when Hammerhead is fully operational in 2029, Guyana’s oil production could reach 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd). Currently, the country extracts about 650,000 bpd, in operations led by ExxonMobil, in partnership with Chevron and CNOOC Petroleum. There is also a projection to reach 900,000 bpd by the end of 2025.

The Hammerhead field will feature 10 production wells and eight gas injection wells, interconnected to a pipeline system that will transport natural gas to the mainland. To support the new production, a 300-megawatt power plant and a natural gas liquids facility are under construction, reinforcing the country’s energy infrastructure.

Guyana’s advancement in the energy sector occurs amid regional tensions. The fact that the field is close to the Essequibo, an area claimed by Venezuela, adds a geopolitical component to the operations. Analysts believe that the success of Hammerhead will not only ensure billion-dollar revenues for Georgetown but also consolidate Guyana as a direct competitor to neighboring Venezuela in the oil export arena.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows in Argentine Patagonia the exact point where a colossal glacier, a turquoise-blue lake, and a greenish arm of water meet, creating one of the rarest and most impressive landscapes in the region.

Two Brazilian scientists made it to Time’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world, one for creating a bacterium that makes mosquitoes incapable of transmitting dengue, and the other for replacing chemical fertilizers with soil microorganisms.

35 countries spent more than 20 billion euros to build the largest nuclear fusion reactor in the world in southern France — the main magnet is so powerful that it could lift an aircraft carrier, and the plasma reaches 150 million degrees.

Scientists have discovered in space the largest organic molecule ever found among the stars, a structure of 13 atoms that could be the “missing link” between the chemistry of the cosmos and the origin of life on Earth.

In the United States, 99% of all new electric capacity in 2026 will be from solar, wind, and batteries — totaling 86 GW in a single year, the largest jump since 2002, while natural gas accounted for only 7%.

The ‘artificial sun’ of China did what physicists said was impossible — it maintained stable plasma at densities that exceed the theoretical limit and took a real step towards unlimited fusion energy.
