据今日石油网2019年11月18日报道，根据挪威雷斯塔能源公司（Rystad Energy）的最新评估，美国石油巨头埃克森美孚公司是全球油气行业几个寻求出售资产的巨头之一，这些拟出售资产的总价值可能达到275亿美元。埃克森美孚公司在剥离数十亿美元资产的计划出台之际正专注于开发圭亚那近的海上油田，计划在几周内投产。
雷斯塔能源公司表示，这些全球油气行业巨头正积极大规模出售成熟资产，为其他地方的高收益投资提供资金，同时还能取悦要求更严格资本纪律的股东。
雷斯塔能源公司表示，埃克森美孚公司计划在2021年之前剥离价值150亿美元的资产，重点开发圭亚那和美国二叠纪盆地的油田以及莫桑比克和美国墨西哥湾的天然气项目。
埃克森美孚公司迄今在圭亚那发现了14个油田，油气总储量超过了60亿桶油当量，创下了新的记录。两个浮式产油储油卸油（FPSO）装置已得到确认，而第3个FPSO装置正在等待圭亚那政府批准。
埃克森美孚公司预计，到2025年前，该公司可能在圭亚那海岸外运营5个FPSO装置，石油日产量届时将超过75万桶。
雷斯塔能源公司预计，到2030年前，圭亚那的石油日产量可能接近100万桶。

Exxon to divest $15 billion in assets by 2021 as development of Guyana oil fields progress
US oil major ExxonMobil is among several global giants in the oil and gas industry looking to sell assets that could fetch a total of $27.5 billion according to Rystad Energy’s latest assessment. The plans by Exxon to divest billions of dollars in assets come at a time when the company is focusing on developing oil fields offshore Guyana where it is set to begin production in weeks.
Rystad Energy said these companies are actively shedding mature assets on a massive scale in a bid to finance higher-yielding investments elsewhere, with the added benefit of pleasing shareholders who are calling for stricter capital discipline.
Rystad Energy says ExxonMobil plans to divest assets worth $15 billion by 2021 as it focuses on developing oilfields in Guyana and the US Permian Basin, as well as gas projects in Mozambique and the US Gulf of Mexico.
The company has made a record 14 discoveries in Guyana amounting to more than 6 billion barrels of oil equivalent. Two FPSOs are already confirmed and a third is in progress pending government approvals.
Exxon projects that by 2025 it could be operating 5 FPSOs off the Guyana coast with a production ramp-up exceeding 750,000 barrels per day.
Rystad Energy has projected that Guyana oil production could hit close to 1 million barrels per day by 2030.
