據今日石油網2022年1月18日報道，圭亞那當局計劃在今年第三季度之前，將該國剩余的海上石油區塊拍賣給國際石油公司(IOC)，這標志著圭亞那之前基于直接談判授予產量分成合同(PSCs)的轉變。 圭亞那也在尋求提高未來PSCs的石油特許權使用費。
圭亞那副總統巴拉特· 賈格迪奧表示，為了成功拍賣這些剩余區塊，圭亞那政府首先必須“積極執行”石油合同中的讓與條款， 賈格迪奧強調了做出某些政策決定的必要性。他說，這些問題涉及確定拍賣模式的重要性，以及建立健全的法律框架來指導這一過程的重要性。
迄今為止，在埃克森美孚公司運營的斯塔布魯克區塊已經發現了超過100億桶的碳氫化合物儲量。 除了斯塔布魯克區塊之外，圭亞那還有6個由不同公司運營的勘探區塊。
挪威著名能源研究和商業情報公司雷斯塔能源公司（Rystad Energy）表示，潛在的競標者最有可能對深水區感興趣，而大多數現有發現都位于深水區。
圭亞那自然資源部長Vickram Bharrat告訴今日石油網記者，有一家公司特別關注C區塊，該公司愿意對C區塊進行三維地震研究，無需圭亞那付出任何代價，巴拉特表示，這將為這個新的產油國提供極其寶貴的數據。圭亞那政府仍未對此做出決定，預計將在新一輪競標最終確定之前做出決定。
巴拉特說，“我們已經向感興趣的公司表示，圭亞那政府希望此次招標是一個開放的過程，這一原則也將影響我們如何處理對其他區塊的放棄。”
另一個未分配的近海深水區域位于圭亞那近海區域的西北部，圭亞那和委內瑞拉之間存在領土爭議。 分析人士表示，這可能會成為感興趣的公司勘探這一區塊的障礙。
巴拉特說，圭亞那當局是否禁止目前的石油區塊持有者參與新一輪投標過程是另一個需要討論的問題。

2022 Guyana bid round will open more acreage in prolific basin
By the third quarter of this year, Guyanese authorities plan to auction the nation’s remaining offshore oil blocks to international oil companies (IOC) marking a shift from the country’s earlier awards of production sharing contracts (PSCs) based on direct negotiations. Guyana is also looking to increase oil royalties for future PSCs.
Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo said in order to successfully auction off these blocks, the government first has to “aggressively enforce” the relinquishment provisions in the oil contracts. Mr. Jagdeo has emphasized the need for certain policy decisions to be made. He said these relate to the importance of identifying the model of auctioning and the significance of a robust legal framework to guide this process.
More than 10 billion barrels of hydrocarbons have been discovered offshore Guyana to date at the ExxonMobil-operated Stabroek Block. Beyond Stabroek, Guyana has six other exploration blocks operated by various companies.
Energy research and business intelligence company Rystad Energy said potential bidders are most likely to be interested in deeper waters, where most of the existing discoveries are located.
Guyana’s Natural Resources Minister, Vickram Bharrat told OilNOW one particular company has its eyes on Block C. The company is willing to do a 3D seismic study on the block at no cost to Guyana which Mr. Bharrat said would provide extremely valuable data to the new oil producing nation. The government is still to make a decision on this and is expected to do so ahead of finalizing the new bid round.
“We have already indicated to the interested company that the government wants this to be an open process, and this principle will go for how we deal with the relinquishment for other blocks too,” Mr. Bharrat said.
The other unallocated offshore deepwater region lies in the northwest of Guyana’s offshore sector, an area that is under territorial controversy between Guyana and Venezuela. Analysts say this could be a roadblock for interested companies to explore this area.
Whether Guyanese authorities prohibit current oil block holders from being a part of the bidding process, is another matter for discussion the Vice President said.
