  • Following the remarkable discovery of extensive offshore oil fields, Guyana, a small South American nation, is poised to join the ranks of the world's wealthiest countries. However, as this newfound wealth brings hope for prosperity, there are growing apprehensions about the potential negative consequences that accompany it.

      So what? You can be blessed with natural resources. But not all of your natural resources can make you money if it costs more to develop those natural resources than what you will make. For example, if Exxon did not spend billions of its dollars finding and developing Guyana oil fields to make a profit. Then oil money would not have become a source of wealth or income for Guyana. Baxuite and sugar cane are not profitable for Guyana, right now. Another thing, we might not be poor in natural resources in Guyana but we are, definitely, poor in ethical and moral behavior.

      While the government is working overtime to develop infrastructure, it’s going to take some time for the country to realize its potential.

    Guyana currently has 11 billion barrels of recoverable oil. plans to produce 1.2 million barrels a day. assuming 365 production days in a year it is enough oil for 25.11 years of production. So I'd invest for more discoveries and spend it wisely... 25 years is not a long time to develop an entire country out of poverty. production revenue does not equal government income. still I truly hope this will be the start to lift the entire nation out of poverty and into peaceful happy lives. greetings from the Netherlands.

    It is heartwarming to know that these discussions are brought to international forums. There's certainly a woeful concern about oil revenues. If the people of Guyana will become individual beneficiaries of such oil wealth because as it appears, the govt's focal interest at this time is to stablize their political existence by way of focusing on infrastructural developments while its nation still suffers abundantly from poverty. How will that oil wealth translate to the local people, is a matter of grave concern. Hope Mr Ali does well with its managment, not only for its government but become the benefactor to his people before it all implodes.

      Evidence of gross corruption within the government of Guyana, which negotiated a highly questionable contract with Exxon/Hess, began to surface from the beginning of the announcement of the discoveries, and they persist to this day. Oil experts from all around the world have expressed serious concerns about the inequitable contracts between the government of Guyana and the oil companies, and they continue to warn about these huge profits which the oil companies are, and will be, getting from the sale of the oil.

They also need to revise the current contract and have more dialogue with all the Guyanese stakeholders on the best way forward and implement tactical policies for long long term success. The population is not huge, hence the government MUST implement EFFECTIVE legislation to take care of its citizens for years to come. Give these people first class educational opportunities, top class healthcare and safety, beautiful infrastructure, eradicate all taxes paid by the citizens, give the people elegant housing, and life changing social infrastructure.

    EXXON is talking for the Guyanese in a way that shows that Exxon knows what the Guyanese need better than the Guyanese and the Guyanese leaders themself do. Exxon will use the "non-qualified workforce" in Guyana to disqualify the Guyanese and instead bring in non Guyanese folks as workers. The same old tricks are being done over and over again.

      Not really! These three are deliberately clueless about oil revenue management fund, infrastructure needs and the fact that up until recently was on the HIPC list. The government has stated massive plans to develop the country but the brain drain of the past 40 years caused by people running from a despotic regime, has created a significant shortage of skilled workers.

    Guyana is country of predominantly Indian, African, and Amerindian people. I don't understand why we have white people discussing what's going to happen with the oil rather than the people that actually live in the country. I understand that Guyana doesn't have the infrastructure available to harvest this oil themselves and will have to utilize foreign oil companies, but if they can't even be part of the discussion, I foresee Guyana getting robbed of their natural resources just like was done by the British.

    How can Exxon Mobil build a modern, large, and beautiful office next to a decrepit home? When I last visited this is what broke my heart - there is a vast difference between the haves and have not. Though there is a lot of new construction, they really need to help those who need help with older homes to upgrade/update. Even if you distribute free building materials and paint through grants, that would help a lot.

    The commentator raises the real questions, all beginning with big 'IF's'. From the very beginning, following the initial discovery of the massive reserves of petroleum, and the continuing revelation of more reserves, there have been constant reports of corruption among politicians and the oil companies involved. These 'rumors' persist to this day, at the heart of which is the questionable contract between Exxon, Hess and the government of Guyana. As an example, Exxon and Hess have been announcing huge profits, most of which can be traced to their take from the lucrative contracts they negotiated with past governments of Guyana and many corrupt representatives of the government.

    For Guyana, oil will NOT change their lot in life.
