据路透社10月17日消息，圭亚那已经呼吁各方提出设计、融资和建造一座3万桶/日加工量的炼油厂的建议，这将是该国成为原油生产国后的首座炼油厂。

该炼油厂将位于伯比斯河附近的公共土地上，建设工作预计将在2023年上半年开始，项目将在两年后完成。该炼油厂项目的招标截止日期为12月中旬。

埃克森美孚牵头的财团今年计划将圭亚那的油气产量提高到近40万桶/天，对于一个2019年才开始生产原油的国家来说，这是一个快速的增长。当前该国所有的原油用于出口。

圭亚那政府计划为该项目提供财政激励，包括10年的免税期。它还将从圭亚那的石油产量中获得炼油厂所需的所有原油供应。不过，圭亚那政府不打算入股该炼油厂。

到2027年，埃克森牵头的财团预计圭亚那石油日产量将达到120万桶。圭亚那已经承诺将很快安排石油和天然气区块的拍卖，以吸引新公司进入其剩余的海上地区。

Guyana opens tender for its first oil refinery

Guyana has called for proposals to design, finance and build a 30,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) oil refinery, the first for the South American country as it becomes a force in crude oil production.

Construction work on the facility, to be located on public land near the Berbice river, is expected to begin by the first half of 2023 with project completion two years after. Requests are due in mid-December.

An ExxonMobil-led consortium has ramped up oil and gas output to almost 400,000 bpd this year, a rapid increase for a country that only inaugurated crude production in 2019. All output is currently exported.

The government plans to provide fiscal incentives for the project, including a 10-year tax holiday. It will also secure all the crude supply the refinery will need from Guyana's share of oil production. However, it does not plan to take a stake in the facility.

By 2027, the Exxon-led consortium expects to pump 1.2 MMbpd of oil. Guyana has promised to soon schedule an auction of oil and gas blocks to attract new companies to its remaining offshore areas.
