The Ministry of Natural Resources project was opened on Tuesday at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) office.

At the reading of bids, it was revealed that the firms bid in lots. These were Lot 1 – Liza Destiny FPSO Vessel, Lot 2 – Liza Unity FPSO Vessel and Lot 3 – Payara Prosperity FPSO Vessel. Lot 4 – entails any two lots combined and Lot 5 – entails Lots1, 2&3combined.

Kaieteur News had reported that the move to market the oil aims to competitively market and maximize the value of the Government’s crude oil entitlement from developments in the Stabroek Block while fostering a competitive market for the Liza, Unity Gold, and Payara Gold Blends.

In the past, Guyana had entrusted the marketing of its crude oil to BP International Limited, a subsidiary of British Petroleum following the initial discoveries of substantial oil reserves in the Stabroek Block.

The decision to seek a new company for oil marketing is part of Guyana’s strategy to continuously optimize its oil sector.
