GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – ExxonMobil Guyana Tuesday announced the arrival of the floating production storage and offloading vessel, Prosperity, the third oil platform that will operate in the Stabroek block offshore Guyana.

Prosperity was built in Singapore, and earlier this year, it was named and launched by the wife of President Dr. Irfaan Ali. It joins the Liza Destiny and Liza Unity FPSOs, which currently produce more than 380,000 barrels daily.

The vessel is part of the Payara development, which is the third development within the giant Stabroek Block offshore Guyana that is shared by ExxonMobil (45 percent), Hess Corporation (30 percent), and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (25 percent).

The vessel has an initial production capacity of around 220,000 barrels of oil per day and an overall storage volume of two million barrels.

Officials here said production from the Prosperity vessel is expected to push daily output to an estimated 600,000 barrels next year.

“The arrival of the Prosperity FPSO is a testament to the strong partnership between ExxonMobil Guyana, the government of Guyana, our co-venturers, and the many suppliers that support our operations. We are excited to contribute to Guyana’s energy future and create endless opportunities for the nation’s growth and Prosperity,” ExxonMobil Guyana Production Manager Mike Ryan said.
