据海上工程师网2021年的11月2日报道，圭亚那副总统Bharrat Jagdeo周一晚些时候表示，圭亚那计划在2022年第三季度之前拍卖新的海上石油勘探区块。
自2019年圭亚那斯塔布鲁克区块开始石油生产以来，由埃克森美孚公司牵头的一个国际财团负责拉丁美洲新石油边缘地区圭亚那的所有石油产量。 斯塔布鲁克区块迄今已发现大约100亿桶可采石油资源。
这个南美国家的副总统在首都乔治敦举行的新闻发布会上说：“我们希望，最晚在明年第三季度，我们将能够拍卖这些新的石油勘探区块。”
Jagdeo表示，圭亚那政府已从那些未能找到储量或没有继续他们勘探计划的公司手中把探区接收回来。
在新的区块拍卖中发放的勘探许可证将持续10年，分为两个初始阶段，并可选择最终延期。 如果在第一阶段结束时承包商想要延期，它必须交出最初的20%探区面积。
如果没有发现石油，储量不能被宣布为商业储量，或者部分区块不能被开发，这个区块必须全部或部分归还圭亚那政府，以供未来对外拍卖。
Jagdeo表示:“这要求我们现在就在所有合同中积极执行放弃条款。” 他补充说，归还的探区，加上现有的可用区块池，将形成一个可以对外提供的大区块群。
Jagdeo表示，圭亚那政府一直在努力建立管理该行业的架构。
Jagdeo今年8月曾表示，他的国家已经成为全球石油勘探热点， 今年将设立一个能源监管机构，同时就未来原油和天然气项目的新利润分享协议(PSA)取得进展。
Jagdeo表示：“我们现在需要进入下一阶段，即执行阶段，然后是拍卖——执行放弃条款和拍卖。”

Guyana to Auction New Offshore Oil Blocks by Q3 of 2022
Guyana plans to auction new blocks for offshore oil exploration by the third quarter of 2022, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo said late align="justify"> A consortium led by Exxon Mobil is responsible for all output in Guyana, Latin America's new oil frontier, since the vast Stabroek block began producing in 2019. about 10 billion barrels of recoverable oil resources have been found in the block.
"We're hoping that latest, next year third quarter, we will be able to auction the new blocks," the South American nation's vice president said in a news conference in the capital, Georgetown.
Acreage the government has received back from companies that failed to find reserves or did not continue their exploration programs will be included in the auction, Jagdeo said.
The prospecting licenses to be granted in the new auction will last 10 years, divided in two initial periods with an option for a final extension. If by the end of the first period the contractor wants an extension, it must relinquish an initial 20% of its area.
If no oil is found, reserves cannot be declared commercial or portions of the block will not be developed, the area must be totally or partially returned to the government for future auction.
"That requires us now to aggressively enforce the relinquishment provisions in all of the contracts," Jagdeo said. The returned acreage, added to an existing pool of available blocks, will form a large group of areas to offer, he added.
The Guyanese government has been trying to put in place the architecture for managing the industry, Jagdeo said.
In August, the vice president said his country, which has become an oil exploration hotspot, would install this year an energy regulatory body https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/guyana-official-vows-develop-its-oil-an-environmentally-safe-manner-2021-08-17 while making progress align="justify"> "We need now to move to the next stage, which is enforcement, then auctioning - enforcing the relinquishment provision and auctioning," Jagdeo said.
