GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – ExxonMobil Guyana Wednesday said that the Prosperity floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, utilised in the Payara project, has achieved background flare in 39 days, well within the 60-day target outlined in the project’s environmental permit.
It said that this accomplishment marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to efficient and environmentally responsible offshore operations.
The oil company said that like the Liza projects, the Payara project design eliminates routine flaring by using produced gas to power the FPSO and reinjecting the rest of the gas into the reservoir to improve oil recovery, thereby reducing emissions.
The Payara project, which began production on November 14, is currently producing more than 180,000 barrels of oil daily.
