companies; more than 800 local businesses, companies are involved in the supply chain for our business. These are significant milestones in a very short space of time when you think of the scale of the industry and what it takes to move forward. And remember, we only have one project so far,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>With the arrival of Liza Unity FPSO later this year and its start up in the first half of 2022, ExxonMobil Guyana expects to increase the current production capacity within the Stabroek Block, realizing even greater benefits for Guyana. \u201cWhat that means of course is that we will almost be tripling the revenue stream to government, which will have more funds to invest whether it is in education, infrastructure and other projects for the benefit of all the people in Guyana,\u201d Routledge added. He highlighted the gas-to-energy project as another avenue for significant benefit including the availability of hundreds of jobs during the construction phase.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2336634720\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/500X500.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/500X500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/500X500.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/500X500.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-1681066875\" class=\"antig-content_2\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe anticipate that we\u2019ll get to the point of full funding of that project next year in 2022, at that point then we would expect that there will be the beginning of early work in Region 3\u2014from the point of the landing location of the pipeline, making sure that the route for the pipeline is prepared, to several works in the area of the Wales estate, preparing for the power plant, which is another part of the scope,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>ExxonMobil Guyana said its contribution to the local economy extends beyond its operational activities to include strategic community investments such as the Greater Guyana Initiative (GGI), which is a GY$20-billion-dollar programme geared at building capacity across sectors.
