据今日石油网2022年1月18日报道，圭亚那当局计划在今年第三季度之前，将该国剩余的海上石油区块拍卖给国际石油公司(IOC)，这标志着圭亚那之前基于直接谈判授予产量分成合同(PSCs)的转变。 圭亚那也在寻求提高未来PSCs的石油特许权使用费。

圭亚那副总统巴拉特· 贾格迪奥表示，为了成功拍卖这些剩余区块，圭亚那政府首先必须“积极执行”石油合同中的让与条款， 贾格迪奥强调了做出某些政策决定的必要性。他说，这些问题涉及确定拍卖模式的重要性，以及建立健全的法律框架来指导这一过程的重要性。

迄今为止，在埃克森美孚公司运营的斯塔布鲁克区块已经发现了超过100亿桶的碳氢化合物储量。 除了斯塔布鲁克区块之外，圭亚那还有6个由不同公司运营的勘探区块。  

挪威著名能源研究和商业情报公司雷斯塔能源公司（Rystad Energy）表示，潜在的竞标者最有可能对深水区感兴趣，而大多数现有发现都位于深水区。

圭亚那自然资源部长Vickram Bharrat告诉今日石油网记者，有一家公司特别关注C区块，该公司愿意对C区块进行三维地震研究，无需圭亚那付出任何代价，巴拉特表示，这将为这个新的产油国提供极其宝贵的数据。圭亚那政府仍未对此做出决定，预计将在新一轮竞标最终确定之前做出决定。

巴拉特说，“我们已经向感兴趣的公司表示，圭亚那政府希望此次招标是一个开放的过程，这一原则也将影响我们如何处理对其他区块的放弃。” 

另一个未分配的近海深水区域位于圭亚那近海区域的西北部，圭亚那和委内瑞拉之间存在领土争议。 分析人士表示，这可能会成为感兴趣的公司勘探这一区块的障碍。

巴拉特说，圭亚那当局是否禁止目前的石油区块持有者参与新一轮投标过程是另一个需要讨论的问题。

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.
