ExxonMobil Guyana and its contractors have spent over GY$600 billion with Guyanese businesses since operations began in 2015. In the first half of 2025 alone, GY$87 billion was spent directly with 1,800 local vendors, reinforcing the company’s dedication to local content development through significant investments in local businesses, workforce training, and community-development initiatives.
This year also marked a significant milestone with the start of in-country fabrication services at the Vreed-en-Hoop Shore Base Inc. (VEHSI), including the fabrication of quad joints and Pipeline End Terminations (PLETs), a major step in supporting the development of local industrial capabilities.
As of mid-2025, more than 6,200 Guyanese are employed by ExxonMobil Guyana and its contractors, making up 70% of the workforce. Notably, one in three employees are Guyanese women, and 1,800 Guyanese are currently working offshore.
Guyana’s oil-and-gas employees benefited from receiving over 370,000 hours of leadership, technical and professional, health, safety, and security training.
